The Air Zoom Oncore BMX Street Edition is packed with BMXcellence, inspired by our team trip to New York City with Dennis Enarson, Garrett Reynolds, Mike Spinner, and Nigel Sylvester. The crew kept it thorough in the boroughs throwing barspins and tailwhips, riding rails and bustin’ flips. Whether they were killin’ it in the park or finding new lines on the street, the BMX posse found NYC to be second to none. The Air Zoom Oncore BMX Street is built to withstand, but supplies won’t, so don’t sleep on the limited quantity kick.

The Countdown is on! The team of the T-Mobile Extreme Playgrounds Street Session is arranged. All flights are booked. The T-Mobile Wildcard winners are ready to attack the best BMX riders and MTV’s Joko is practicing for his appearance at the final day. It’s getting serious. The bunch of riders and the music program of the Street Session of the T-Mobile Extreme Playgrounds are complete. One happy T-Mobile Wildcard BMX winner has convinced the judges with a perfect ride at the Local Support Street Challenge in Emmering near Munich. BMX-Pro Rafael Adam from Munich has the great chance to match his talent with the international Pros in Berlin. The Street Session is ready now: 48 talented top-riders (BMX & sk8) from four different continents, three hot Live-Bands, a massive fan base of action sports and music. And on top of all, MTV will broadcast this amazing event right into your living rooms.

Here's the chance all you aspiring Spielbergs, Tarantinos and Singletons have been waiting for. Props Video Mag let us know that the deadline for our next commercial is coming up but we're way too busy to put one together so we're asking one of you do it for us. Of course the winning submission will be paid handsomely in the form of a $500 Albe's gift certificate but we'll warn you that it's gonna take a bit of creativity to be chosen to represent us. If we just wanted thirty seconds worth of dorks doing turn downs we could do that ourselves, we want something more unique. 

Props Road Fools took 17 riders and 2 bands on the road for 8 days in it's second edition of the Road Fools Rock-N-Roll BMX Tour, presented by Levis. Metal rockers Thunderlip and BMX favorite Lucero rocked 5 packed skateparks from Michigan to New Jersey, with the BMX crew riding the parks and hitting up street sessions in between.

Trip stops included: Grand Rapids, MI, Columbus, OH, Cleveland, OH, Buffalo, NY, Rochester, NY, and Lakewood, NJ.

On board: Nathan Williams, Diogo Canina, Rob Wise, Cesar Monzon, Neil Harrington, Zack Warden, Sean Sexton, Dylan Smith, Morgan Wade, Brad Simms, Brian Kachinsky, Chase Hawk, Scotty Cranmer, Corey Martinez, Aaron Ross, Mike Aitken, and legend Mat Hoffman resulted in one heck of a crew packed in the Props and Etnies rigs.
Trip hosts were Steve Crandall & Catfish.

After 5 days in Utah and working with their weird alcohol rules we made it to Las Vegas. Pretty much anything is allowed there so we just continued on. In fact I took a night off on Monday and Tuesday wasn't a success either. Was Vegas really the Vegas we know any more? Wednesday changed everything. We saw that Nashville Pussy was in town and even though they played at some MTB premiere, we had to make it down to The Palms.

We are now accepting clips for the 2007 Online BMX Flatland Competition. This is an online battle-type contest, open to all. The riders perform anywhere they choose, film their tricks, and submit the clips to Ground Tactics. After a rider’s clip is scored and posted online, he/she still has a chance to submit more sets of clips. For example, Rider #1’s submission is valued at 20 and then another rider sends in a clip that’s valued at 35, Rider #1 feels he/she can do better and is able to submit again. 

If you've always thought of moving to "Pro-town" this might be the news you've been looking for. You see, Austin Coleman not only recently broke his ankle but he also bought two houses next to eachother. One for himself and one to fill up with riders/friends. In his own words: "I bought my first house(s) out in Greenville, NC. Being from Los Angeles, I bounced around Greenville for the last year or so and really liked it. I decided to invest in some property out there. I purchased two places right next to each other in the heart of town!"
