U know I learned that everybodys around 2 ride but not 2 build, tear down or chip N any money 4 tha ramps!

Good work requires time. Let's use that excuse for the delay of the Red Cross adventures movie to come out months after the contest took place in Hechtel, Belgium. We reported about the contest earlier but now you can see a high quality movie clip here on FATBMX. The clip shows what went on at the town square; a dirt comp, live bands and vert riding. And lots of beers. 

"My crank snapped on my first run so I needed a huge second run to win the Cup. Don't think it was planned that way for the dramatic. There was a lot of pressure going into the final run.” - Jamie Bestwick, BMX Vert Dew Cup champion
 
“I wanted to get a first good run and I crashed. And at that point there were no throw-away runs…(Winning the Dew Cup is) one of the biggest accomplishments I’ve had so far, as far as winning a whole complete series, and winning the title.” - Ryan Nyquist, BMX Dirt Dew Cup champion

“Last year after the (Dew Cup) win, I was like, ‘am I really gonna be able to keep up?’ I just went home, practiced hard, and dialed all my tricks. I came here and I really wanted to take it again.” - Daniel Dhers, BMX Park Dew Cup champion

It takes a reason for people to get together for a session. Halloween is a good reason to meet in one place. It's a different day for everyone and it doesn't matter if you dress different that day. Jeremie Infelise hosts a Halloween jam at the Oklahoma concrete park every year and this year was no exception. Hit read more for the video of the jam.

The 2007 Dirty East contest at The Flow attracted some good riders. This resulted in some great riding and some burly crashes. The video clip shows you what was done on the street course that was on hand. Some shit was gnarly.

Jeffery Garland and Chad Johnston put together this video from the Flatground contest in Amsterdam with a Talib Kweli live concert mixed into the riding. It might be pretty old by now but if you haven't seen the clip, it shows what breakdance-hiphop- and flatland have in common.
