From 4 th till 5th August the top of BMX Flatland will again be competing at the 7th edition of Flatground. Flatground is this years final of the BMX Flatland World Circuit with previous rounds in Tokyo and New Orleans. The current leader of the circuit is Japanese rider: Shintaro Misawa with 1682 points, on the fourth position it's Germany's Michael Steingraber with only 242 points less. Since the entire top three momentarily consists of Japanese riders, the finals will be a heavy combat between Europe and Japan. With as many as thirteen riders from Japan, the Japanese seem to be determined to take home the title of the BMX Flatland World Circuit 2007. BMX Flatland

Go creative and you will have a good chance at winning. Prize winners will be announced shortly.

For those who have not won anything yet on FATBMX, we have a new contest up tomorrow. And it's a good one. Better check back.

Here's a game review from winner Timo van Lierop and pics of those who won the game.
We received a long list of riders who are going to be present at this year's Rebel Jam in Berlin. The list is 5 times the size of the X-Games competitors. It is going to be awesome. With all the rain we've already had we're sure that we'll be lucky from 10-12 August 2007. And even if it does rain a little, this is a great opportunity to party with the boys. Are you ready for the rider list?
Today I got back from France. I went to the final stage of the Tour de France, or better, Wendy took me there. She was one of the winners in a Rabobank contest and won an all expenses paid trip to Paris for two persons to witness the Tour de France up close. We checked into the Concorde hotel on the Montpernasse around the corner of the Eiffel tower. No complaints there, 4 stars, good stuff.
Dear friends, brothers, fiends and haters! I'm very happy to announce my “soon to be released” signature frame with Felt Bikes. The “Dreamcatcher” is the first step in a small series of Felt signature parts and is all about giving (first of all myself and of course also you) a lot of space. The frame will be quite light but won´t be a weight freaks´ favourite since I wanted it to be strong and hold a lot of stress so I don´t break a frame every season.
