I am doing a trip from Canada to Chile by van.. I have made it to Guatemala, have been in Cuba for a month, the bmx scene is amazing in Cuba. I should be taking all year to do this trip. I am helping to organize events all throughout Latin America, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru for sure so far. I would like to make it back to Europe once at least this year, we'll see.

Local Exposure Tour IV "The Golden Ticket" Local Exposure Tour (LET) is a chance for some of the top pro’s in BMX to set out on a road trip with the idea to search for some unknown amateur talent at local skate parks.

We've had change around over here & now the 3 man Euro team are all UK based riders. Ben Hennon, Ben Wallace & Tony Watkinson are the full team, all will be out there representing Haro, riding contests & partying to the fullest throughout the contest "season" & beyond.

Wallace has been on flow with Haro Europe for a few years & done a hell of a job so it was time he was put on the full team for all his efforts. He'll be at most Euro events with me this year, when he's not there you can find him cruising the streets of his home town in a piece of crap "modified" car listening to Panic at the Disco!

Hennon has been on the Euro Team since pretty much day one & will be riding pretty much a bit of everything this year including a big

Federal's Mark Love is an awesome rider. Edd Allen made a video clip of Edd in what looked like private set-ups at the RIDE ramps as well as other skateparks. While photographers are shooting away, Edd fires out trick after trick and doesn't disappoint one bit. Helmet? Naaahhh, proper UK style.

Some sites think they're too good to post local contest flyers. We don't feel that way. When you're putting time and energy into organizing a comp, you deserve to have your flyer up on the site to promote the event. It will not only inform the riders in your area about it but it will please the people who support the contest as well. We don't always have a FATBMX reporter available to shoot pictures and write some text but I'm sure you know a guy who can do that so we can post the report on FATBMX shortly after the event.
