Imagine a very sick bikepark. A tailor-made park including all the sections you need to rise BMX limits to another level. Now imagine the same park fully covered in mirrors. Finally, imagine two of the best riders of the moment nailing tricks you might have never seen. Hard to believe? Also hard to turn it into reality. But it’s not a mirage, it’s absolutely true. It has happened somewhere near Pamplona in Spain and twelve months have been needed to make this possible.
One year throughout which, amongst other things, the Spanish rider with Nigerian origins, Courage Adams (22), has been one of the main responsibles of the thorough design of its sections. However, riding alone in this unique bikepark made no sense and it was a huge challenge. Besides, the first feeling he had once he saw the finished park was “it looks like a spacecraft. That place looked nothing similar to how it was before,” he pointed out.
The decisive moment had come. Courage invited German rider Paul Thölen (19), who came from his hometown Viersen exclusively for the occasion. “As soon as I saw the Mirror Park I thought it was surreal and that I wouldn’t be able to perform a single trick”, he confesses.
The trouble you have to face when riding on such a slippery Surface and facing your own reflections is extreme. Everything is complex and confusing. Stimulus are multiplied times one thousand and your surrounding becomes imprecise and uncertain, to the extent of getting dizzy and having to stop several times until you get back on track.
BMX LIMITS RAISED TO ANOTHER LEVEL IN A BIKEPARK COVERED IN MIRRORS. Courage Adams and Paul Thölen’s best skills reflected in Mirror Park

My 2nd time riding the Mega Ramp in Melbourne, Australia on BMX! Trying my best to get on the X Games athlete invite list. I had some gnarly crashes throughout the day but managed to land some crazy runs. Here are just a few of the tricks and biggest airs I landed on the day! Enjoy!
This whole thing literally went down like this... Me: "Hey Van, let's film a bike check." Van: "Aw, man I can't. I actually need to build up a new bike." Me: "Okay, let's film that." So I followed Van around as he hand-picked parts from the warehouse over at Fit, including a ton of his new signature parts.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
