On sunday the 27th we celebrate the first summer Session at our PG Trails in Oldenburg, Germany. The weather was awesome, and about hundred riders met at the trails to ride and chill together. The temper was really cool, everyone no matter if he is a pro or a rookie ride together and showed respect to the other one. To sum up it was a great weekend. I took a few pictures and check also www.bmx-ol.de for more.
It’s impossible to imagine, but today Red Bull Elevation turned the Parque Metropolitano into a runway. Thirty bicycles rolled for more than three hours over tons of dirt that give shape to the most impressive BMX Dirt Jump track. The best riders of the world jumped up to three meters of height with only one thing in mind: to perform the best and most perfect tricks such as tailwhips, barspins and frontflips.
Airing Sunday, May 11, at 8:00pm and 11:00pm ET (5:00pm and 8:00pm Pacific Time), and re-airing several more times over the next month, FUEL TV will showcase “Firsthand: Alistair Whitton.” This Firsthand with Alistair Whitton follows this U.K. transplant as he discusses why he rides BMX and how it has changed his life. Alistair is known throughout the pro community for his all-or-nothing attitude and fun-loving personality. Alistair takes us back to his early riding days in the U.K. before turning to traveling stunt shows, which provided a taste of his life to come. He discusses the impact Camp Woodward has had on his pro BMX career and its affect on his life away from riding.
Alistair then sets off for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to pick up his MacNeil teammates and Vans Teammate Gary Young, giving them a tour of some of his favorite spots on the East Coast and in his home of Greenville, North Carolina.
