The internet is a crazy place. News gets spread quickly and when BMX Mania's Jerry Landrum announced his retirement it spread like wildfire. Almost to the fact where it felt someone had died and people were writing good things about him. For sure it's nice that Jerry got to read all of the positive messages himself. I'm not sure where I met Jerry first. It was probably at Interbike where he, just like me, was looking at new bike parts, taking pics for his site and checking if someone would be into supporting his BMX Mania website which for the longest time was the 'go-to' website for the racing community, way before social media came alive. After 21 years of covering the sport of BMX racing it's time for Jerry to shift down a couple of gears and spend some time with his grandkids and he's got a

T-Shirt-Wetter, Spots ohne Ende und bei jedem Trick mindestens eine Palme in Sichtweise: Der Betriebsausflug, welcher die SIBMX-Boys im vergangenen Februar nach Teneriffa führte, war für alle Beteiligten eine willkommene Abwechslung vom tristen Alltag des deutschen Winters. Hier sind ein paar raw jibs, die Alex Stinshoff, Tim Güntner, Markus Reuss, Robin Heiderich, Nico van Loon, Jan Mihaly, Adrian Warnken, Merlin Czarnulla und Felix Stinshoff in den Skateparks von El Médano und Santa Cruz gefilmt haben, während der Rest der dreizehnköpfigen Reisegruppe gerade Grillkohle oder Dosenbier für die Abendgestaltung vom nächst liegenden Supermercardo holte.
Drei Jahre lang für ein Video zu filmen und das Ergebnis dann nicht nur online zu stellen, sondern dazu auch noch ein Zine, eine DVD und ein Shirt rauszubringen, dafür muss man heutzutage schon ein wenig bekloppt sein. Oder Komplett Cancelled, wie Valentin Seuß aka Valle vielleicht sagen würde. So heißt auch das neue Video der Cancelled Crew, welches der 23Jährige zu verantworten hat, und das sich wirklich sehen lassen kann!
Lotta Grüber war mit ihrer Familie und ein paar Freunden über Weihnachten/Neujahr im sonnigen Málaga. Angesichts der vielen tollen Spots die sie dort gefahren ist, wie zum Beispiel der Ruben Alcantara Park oder die Trails in Torremolinos, ist es vollkommen okay, wenn ihr jetzt ein wenig neidisch werdet. Dazu noch jede Menge Sonnenschein, nette Locals und fertig ist der perfekte BMX-Urlaub. ¡Viva Málaga!
About 5 years ago, I met Yumi at Horie beach in Ehime-Prefecture, Japan. From that day we rode and shred time all day. The secound year, Yumi said he wants to make a crew and thats the beginning of HORIEGUMI. When I saw his riding I had a big impact on me and got images and ideas for filming. So I bought a used TRV900 immediately and started filming at the beach side and the city of Ehime. And I had been making a lot of HORIVIDEOS. Now I moved to Tokyo with Yumi, and I made lots of videos as a video production for Alive, Fit, Merritt and Monster with Yumi, Pegy and OSO. Unfortunately Yumi has decided to leave HORIEGUMI. Because he wants to forcous riding as a professional rider and to do what best for himself. So we have decided to break up. I will going to start a new video project with Pegy and with our friend in all over the world.
