It doesn't get much better than this. You buy your copy of FreedomBMX and you now get a Circle DVD for free! Okay the retail price has been bumped up to € 5,80 in Germany and Austria (or € 8,10 abroad) but still, it's a fair price and when it comes with a DVD, it's a steal. What does Freedom #73 bring?
The format is huge and it's Robert Kroenig who gets the cover with a lazy one-handed toe-jam on some concrete quarterpipe obstacle. Fuzzy Hall gets the inside cover. He might be off Mongoose but he's still on VANS. You can make a video clip out of the contents page. Cut the pics out, put them on a stack in the right order, put some staples on the left side and flip through the booklet. Let me know how fast that 50-50 grind to crooked grind looks. If you have a happening BMX scene, you will probably have someone reporting about it in the news section. The Bcrossionale receives a report but you gotta have the video to really feel it.

AllRide went on tour and I'm sure Thomas Stellwag got that one covered in the new Soul video. Paparrazi king Sergej Geier gets a full on 6-page pro interview. The dude rips. The Backyard jam ripped as well. Words by Thomas Fritscher and awesome photos from Kay Clauberg.

The Champ was a contest series in Germany in 2006 and part three was the Mini Ramp comp in Weil am Rhein. The 4 page report even makes Rocky Balboa proud. Are you tough enough to go to Bratislava for a road trip? The Revolt and Circle crew made the effort and came back with lots of stories.

Gary "Lumberjack" Ellis held his annual jam in Aurich. FreedomBMX was there too. Adidas City Games in Berlin. Great Flatland contest in a unique location makes for good photos and happy faces.

Who's house? Verthaus! Achim Kujwaski invited his friends to ride vert together in his private training facility. It has turned into an annual event for all vert riders hoping they are being invited. Bio's in Freedom#73 with the following riders: Bjoern Elvering & Bastian Gross. Are we still in the same issue? Summer in Paris with Daniel Etter. Merci un peu.

Moni & Thomas Stellwag for president! BMX pure. An interview with the BMX family from Munich. Benny Paulsen shows how to do the most important trick in BMX: The tabletop while Dockstar shows you how to do the second most important trick in BMX: The Bunny Hop. Two step by step how-to's. 2 pages of products follow and Paul Robinson closes the issue with a "When two worlds collide" piece.

Peace.
