Alex Vazquez and his crew are organizing a BMX contest series again in Mexico. The name of the series is Revolcon BMX. Last year riders like Nigel Sylvester, Dave Osato, Wade Lajlar, Tom White and Edwin Delarosa made it to Mexico for one of Alex's contests. In 2008 Revolcon BMX has five stops, in different cities. International riders will be present at all five stops. The first stop will be in Guadalajara on March 1st and 2nd. Mexico has a lot to offer, and Alex's main goal is to expose BMX Mexico to the world. If you're interested, hit the banner or get in touch with Alex through MTNT
Senad Grosic, Tobias Wicke and Mike spend a weekend in Dubai to do shows at a Red Bull Air Race. They had planned to go to the Simpel Session but when the sponsor needs you badly, you just go. At least that's what Senad and Tobias did. Red Bull put them up in a sweet house with jacuzzi, they went on the dessert safari, rode some camels and did a few shows on shitty ramps that had dessert sand all over them. Here's a few photos of the action (the tourist action).

The Simpel Session organizers lined up a few things to do at night too. They had a complete film festival in town where they showed BMX videos on the big screen in three different cinemas. Also a party was on the program for every night. Saturday night the official Simpel Session party was held at Von Ueblingen and when we arrived there was a 40 meter line to get in. Good thing is that with the contest wrist band you had priority access and it only took a minute for everyone to get in, drop off the jacket and order a drink. Sweet. Here are some photos (of course) of night # 3.
