Airing Tonight, Thursday, September 18, at 9:00 pm Eastern Time (6:00 pm Pacific Time) and telecast three additional times, TJ Lavin will appear on The Daily Habit.

27th of September 2008, it’s going to be the second weekend of Oktoberfest and time for the second T-Mobile Local Support Street Challenge at the Tretlager BMX hall in Emmering near Munich. With approx. 4000 m² the hall is filled with great obstacles such as wooden trails, hips, banks and plenty of transitions for the riders to use their creative skills! This ensures a mind-blowing BMX-show for the last Local Support Challenge this year.

There will be two separate scorings for pros and amateurs, in which everybody will compete as a duo. The pros will battle it out for a brand new obstacle in the amount of € 4.000 for their local spot and the amateurs for a portrait in the German magazine “FreedomBMX”.

The second place amateur team will win a complete safety gear setup from Pro-tec and the second placed pro team will receive an invite for 30 friends to a big BBQ at their home spot.

Your video should feature your riding, and it wouldn't hurt to tell us a few reasons why you think it would be cool to ride a GT.

In April we'll review all the videos we receive and send 10 GT Project frames to the best riders in the bunch. The GT Project Frame has been specially developed for this program by GT designers and
