Nike likes to keep things fresh. Maybe not so much in shoe models, but at least the colours of the existing shoes change every few months. To be honest, the shoes don't need much changing as they've proven to do a good job for the (team) riders. Look what NIKE has in store for you this upcoming winter. 

Keeping up long-term and well-working relationships is a virtue Carhartt is really keen on in all brand facets. Especially towards BMX the collaboration with WethePeople brought out a remarkable collection of gloves, grips, a bike pump and a 24” BMX Cruiser last season. This season one decided again on a limited white BMX Cruiser that is beyond questioning. The latest Carhartt Cruiser made together with WethePeople is the perfect complement for every BMX Riders collection.

UCI is pleased to announce the 2010 permanent career numbers for Elite Men and Elite Women. These numbers must be used at all international BMX events for the 2009-2010 season. In 2006, the UCI introduced the permanent BMX number system for Elite Men and Elite Women. With this system, riders can choose a “career number”, which they have the exclusive right to use for their entire Elite class career. This will give riders a possibility to market themselves and to give media and spectators an easy way to identify riders.
