UCI BMX Supercross. Welcome to the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup Tour 2018. We're back to some favourite haunts this year but there are also pastures new so before we take the trip to Papendal we're kicking the season off at a new venue in France on Easter weekend.
The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) is pleased to announce the best events of its UCI World Cup series for mountain bike, BMX and trials. All events that are part of a UCI World Cup meet strict organisational criteria, but each year, participants vote for the event that they feel stood out. Best event vote for the 2017 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup went to Papendal, Netherlands.
On the calendar of the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup since 2011, Papendal (the Netherlands) won the vote of the media, sponsors and UCI staff to clinch the best event for the second time after 2013.
The BMX track at the Sport Centre Papendal is home of the Dutch national team, and welcomed the
Free afternoon for me so I thought it would be fun to make a vid of the Dutch National Team preparing for SX Argentina.

Direct naast de baan waar de wereldtoppers van de Supercross hun kunsten vertonen wordt een heus festivalterrein uit de grond gestampt. Wat kun je verwachten? Een weekend vol hiphop en scheurende gitaren. Ambachtelijke streekgerechten, smokin’ bbq en real american burgers van rollende keukens. En al die heerlijke gerechten spoel je natuurlijk weg met een speciaalbiertje van de tap.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
