Name: Luis BrethauerHometown: Stuttgart, Germany
Sponsors: Leatt, Oakley, Shimano, Ultra Sports, Tioga, GT BicyclesWhat is the best track you rode on in 2014?
Luis Brethauer: Not easy to say, Argentina was great, easy track but great for racing. Chula has been one of my all time favourites so I can’t wait to race there this weekend. But I also think Berlin was cool, maybe a little "too different” and not really great for racing, but still had a lot of fun on my bike on this track.
What was the worst track you had to ride in 2014 in your opinion?
Luis Brethauer: No doubt Volkel, NL for the 3 Nations Cup. Never seen a worse race track in my life.
Who did the raddest move on the track in 2014?
Jelle van Gorkom answers from SoCal. Here's his best/worst view of 2014.

Post Argentina I cleared my mind, had some good conversations with people close to me, in hope to end the season well. 3 Nations Cup Zolder, Belgium The first week started well. Even I didn’t feel great, I got 2 2015 Worlds track of Zolder, Belgium.Worldcup 5 Chula Vista (CA), USA
2nd and 3rd week were prep weeks towards the last Worldcup in Chula. I knew the 2 track on the Olympic training center was a real hard one as it looks better than it rides, every cm of the jumps are different. I tried to go in as clear as possible and started practice well. But I lost momentum while perfectioning the track, I made a lot of mistakes and lost confidence. Got back at it on Friday, but a crash threw me back again. I managed to put it together in Qualification and qualified 46th for racing on Saturday.
With a hard moto I knew it was going to be tight racing. I had

My sister and I started racing BMX a few weeks ago. All of a sudden we needed some race gear to get on the track. My sister always got my old jerseys and pants but now she has a new set of her own; the ANSR Syncron Youth kit. She took it through the test tonight at the BMX track in Erp, Netherlands, that's where we ride two times a week. I asked her what she liked about the new gear and here is what she said:Veerle: "First of all I'm happy with the new race gear. It makes me look cool. The gloves do not have a lot of protection on top, but they fit sweet. The inside has some good grip on the grips so I won't slip my hands of the handlebars. I like it that the left and the right glove have different colours. It looks like I bought two pairs. The jersey fits well. I just got some new body armor which fit well under the jersey. The pants are smooth on the inside. It feels nice to slide them on. My knee caps/shin guards fit nicely under the pants because there is extra room for it. Also the stretch material make it fit like a glove. The belt keepts the pants on my hips."
