FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

They came to rave with Fatboy, take stock with Morrissey, croon with the Counting Crows, bounce with Jay-Z, and rock out with Monster Energy Drink - and that they did! Over 100,000 guests were treated to some of the finest BMX and Skate talent during the four-day 02 Wireless Festival in London last weekend (3rd-6th July). The ‘Monster Vert Ramp & Reefer Truck’ area proved the place to be with breathtaking action on the vert ramp, as well as public bar and VIP area to keep the good times flowing! Guests were treated to great BMX talent in Jimmy Walker and special guest Jon Taylor – as well as Jamie Bestwick who stunned crowds with his flawless riding, neon frame and back-to-back tricks; “We’ve had great weather, great music and great crowds – what more could you ask for” added home-grown talent Bestwick.

With many new converts to both BMX and Skateboarding over the weekend, people visited in drones to the Monster compound to soak up the electric atmosphere, offset with non-stop 

Round two of the Dew Action Sports Tour have kicked off. The dirt discipline was up first. Bohan won, AA racer Nate Berkheimer scored a second! and Ryan Guettler got third. More to come.

The flatland tent was way too small to fit everybody in. If you missed it on TV we're the first to tell you that Sam Foakes from England won the flatland competition. With Scott Obrien on the mic walking around like a madman and keeping the crowd hyped the finalists got two and a half minutes each to show what they got. Matthias Dandois is new on Red Bull but could not give them a first podium yet. Third place went to RedBull rider Terry Adams who had everyone laughing with his funny faces he makes while he rides. It helped him pull the hard stuff so maybe a few people out there should try the same. Second place went to KHE rider Adam Kun from Hungary who brought some good stuff to the purple circle. With flatland week coming up on FATBMX you better get used to those names.

1. Sam Foakes

We got to Cologne yesterday and it rained a fair bit. The set up looks good, especially the trails are sweet. Since they were built underneath a bridge a session was going on there and we can't wait before the contest starts. The Zoobruecke was the scene for the Dutch to get together. Riders were arriving in Camp Holland all night long and with the motto: "Party Like A Rockstar" they were welcomed with a beer or two. The sun's out today so we'll leave you with last night's party pics for now and go shoot some pics of the riding. Make sure to check back in over the weekend.

Houston Harmsen took the title in the BMX park contest this weekend at the Free Flow Tour’s Perris, Calif. stop, edging out some tough competition to become a winner on the 2008 Tour. Following Sunday’s BMX action at the Compound, Harmsen, 18 from Murrieta, Calif., won the park competition. With the win, Harmsen earns an automatic bid into the Free Flow Tour finals that will take place at the AST Dew Tour’s Toyota Challenge, September 11-14, 2008.
