Soulcycle BMX shop starts the year with the coolest Dutch BMX event in years. During the Soulcycle F.T.O. Serie, park and street BMXers can compete in a serie of BMX contests for AM and pro BMXers. The concept: In the Next few months park and street BMXers can both compete in 3 events. The riders can visit each event apart from each other. During every event the riders have a one minute run to impress the judges. The ten best riders compete in a finale run during the dayfinal. They compete for Soulcycle vouchers and brand new parts from the sponsors Etnies, Stranger, Cult, Odysey, Animal en primo. Next to that, the scores of the riders count in the overall tournament. Every edition the Soulcycle staff save the scores of the participants. After all contest the scores will be counted and the riders with the highest overall score will make some big prize money.

For both street and park there will be an Am and Pro discipline, so
All good things come to an end. Haro's parting ways with Jack Clark. Jack's been part of the HARO Bikes program for the last two years and got to travel to events in Asia, Germany, The Netherlands, many in France and the UK, next to a visit to California.

He's the first to drop in, and the last rider to leave the ramp plus he gets more rides in than anyone on the platform. The technically skilled rider will be scooped up by an other company soon.
The 2015 Haro Pro team continues as follows. Dennis Enarson, Ryan Nyquist, Tyler Fernengel, Mike Gray, Matthias Dandois, Dennis McCoy, Jason Watts, Simon Tabron, Matt Cordova, with Jadin Covert and Colton Walker on flow along with many distributor sponsored riders from all over the world.

Not only can Pat do all the moves, he started doing them his own way, dipping 360 whips and inventing decade flips and more made him stand out among the next generation. Pat managed a couple of X Games medals on Haro and he stunned a lot of people last year coming from an alternate spot at Redbull Dreamline and winning the event on the biggest contest jumps to date. In 2014 Pat spent some time
