The following riders found themselves to build the tag teams for round 3 of Battle in da Club tour, Germany’s first and sole Bmx Flatland tour. The riders were allowed to choose a companion but one rule is that the teams can't enter a battle in the same constellation two times in a row with the exception of the winning team. So we don't see the same teams twice in series. Let the battles begin.

The 8 two-man teams are:
1 Frank Lukas & Matti Röse
2 Waldemar Fatkin & Lasse Süttning

If there is a true BMX nomad, it's Nathan Penonzek. He is on a constant travel and has seen more of the world than pretty much any of us. The pro flatlander has been documenting most of it. Some of the photos and text can be found on the website that he just started. Well worth a look.

Flatland
There are many reasons to share, and flatland has always been the best one, from ideas and thoughts, to foods and cultures, flatland is expression.

Yep. Dave Osato is now going to take on the team management of the US wethepeople team. A tricky job at the best of times, but as the wethepeople US team has seen some recent additions it was time to bring things together and Dave is more than man enough to take it. Doing what he's always done for wethepeople, 'Promoting wethepeople as it has never been done before'  was his take on the new role. We're stoked on the whole idea and with the current team now taking on business, things are serious. Feel free to heckle the dude for your news and the latest with the wethepeople US guys.

Not too many BMX birthday parties will be going on this week. The only BMX-er who is celebrating his B-day will be Sean Peters. Sean is a flatlander who likes to "Spin it like to hell" as a Czech Republican MC would have described it. Drink one on Sean this week if you will.

Our buddy Franske has left for a Safari. He teamed up with a few mates and drove all the way to a country where the sun shines all day and the temperature is between 40 and 60 degrees centigrade. Plenty of sand too so the 4X4 comes in handy. The guns you ask? they're there to keep the peace. Sniper Frans hasn't forgot to rock 'n roll.

Stay safe buddy!

It has been a week but if you did not catch the Dew Tour on TV it was pretty ugly. On live NBC Sports TV Scotty decided to go for his first double flip and ending up sliding across the floor on his face with his teeth sliding next to him. No one know exactly what he was thinking, the adrenaline of the moment just takes over sometimes.. The medical staff actually put his teeth back in his mouth and said they will heal by themselves, the human body is crazy. He also ended up with a few stitches in his chin. Yes, he will be wearing a full face helmet from now on and am guessing a lot of other riders will be doing the same, the level of riding is getting too crazy.

Subrosa has put a killer team trailer together which features the following riders: Ryan Sher, Eli Platt, Hoang Tran and Rich Hirsch. We all love video clips, especially good ones. Click on the following link to check it out:

The top action sports athletes have been traversing the globe for the entire year vying for the opportunity to qualify for the much-coveted invitation to the LG Action Sports World Tour Championships in Dallas, Texas. As the event draws near, the competition and level of riding have become fierce as these world class competitors push the limits of determination not to mention their bodies, driving their sports to the absolute edge. With podium regulars like John Parker and Kevin Robinson competing all year with a bad shoulder the door is left open for lesser known athletes like Mike Mancuso from North Carolina who shocked everyone in the last event by unleashing a perfect tailwhip flair in the middle of his run.
