The Best of Colorado BMX 2017 Skateparks and Dirt Jumps by Nick Soloninka
The best of Colorado BMX Skateparks and Dirt jumps. As 2017 has come and gone I take a look back at some of the BMX edits i did and wanted to make a year end compilation of all the awesome places and riders I captured on film.
We took a trip to the best skate park in the world called Ray's mountain bike park in Cleveland Ohio! this place is amazing and is definitely one of a kind! There are so many original ramps that I have only seen in this building regular quarter pipes also grind ledges and mountain bike obstacles as well! This is one of my favorite skateparks in this world and I am so happy that we are going to be riding and filming videos here for you guys to watch all week long!
Travel to Ukraine in search of tricks. By Vasya Lukyanenko
Known riders Bruno Hoffmann and Vasya Lukyanenko assembled teams and went on a journey for new spots and impressions. The largest BMX journey to Ukraine has been completed! From August 8 to 14, two rider teams fought for victory in the Red Bull Build The Trick, traveling the country in search of locations for cool stunts, creating new spots. At the head of the teams were Red Bull athletes Bruno Hoffmann from Germany and Ukrainian Vasya Lukyanenko, whose team celebrated the victory. "I consider this project one of the most interesting and useful for the BMX-scene in the history of the development of this discipline in Ukraine. We have invited our country to one of the best street riders in the world. In addition, we gave the chance to other riders to spend a week
Japan solo October 2017. Just the bmx bits. Big shout to all the locals.
It's great to see new riding spots pop up. Pump tracks are all the craze but a large asphalted Velosolutions riding spot isn't in every city's budget. Sometimes you have to work with what you're offered and the hard working crew in Oirschot pulled off a new spot next to the public swimming pool in the woods. Daniel Wijsmuller designed and shaped the Kemmertrails and during the opening plenty of people turned up for the first few laps. With a table/double line on the outside and a pump track in the middle it is a sweet spot for anyone on two wheels. Because the top layer isn't made of asphalt, you won't see many scooter kids/skateboarders/inline skaters around. BMX and MTB riders however can enjoy their bikes at the open and free spot in Oirschot, just 10 minutes outside of Eindhoven, NL.

After our successful Art in the Parks project the park is looking better than it ever has thanks to the work of Lamkat and Laura Alvarez. The past seven years has been a great journey as the park transformed and our community grew bringing in new riders of all ages. Thanks to supporters like you we have been able to turn around our space with the help of volunteers, community organizations, bicycle companies, and local politicians who have supported our project. We could not be happier with how this year has gone, and are looking forward to a great 30th year in 2018, with more great events, new additions to the park, and fun for all ages. The park is currently closed Tuesday and Thursday until summer season begins, and the park is free to use as always.
Henley's Maverick concrete is open, enjoy!

After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
