Stallion Springs, CA — Every young BMX rider wants to be a pro when they grow up. At Woodward West, young BMX riders have the opportunity to ride, interact, and learn from pro BMX riders and find out everything they ever wanted to know about BMX. Woodward West has confirmed pro BMX riders who will be riding with campers during Summer Session 2006. “Woodward West is heaven. It does not get any better than having all the facilities to ride, starting from ground zero to any level of riding. The vibe at camp keeps me coming back to the point where I get bummed when I don’t get to spend more time at Woodward,” Pro BMX rider Ricardo Laguna said.

The rebeljam is honored to have another great photo art expo aside to the event. Also this year people can witness unfiltered photography of following planned guys: Joe Rich - Sandy Carson - Manu Sanz - Ricky Adam - Ed Docherty - Jeff Zielinski - Chris Pollack - Sergio Layos - Corey Martinez - Jared Souney - Jamie Bestwick - Kay Clauberg - David Ulrich Gonzalo Manera - Hadrien Picard - Georg Oberlechner - Marcel Georgi - Olaf Pignataro - Ryan Guettler - Victor Strasse.  Further there will be another open artist wall with more great stuff.
