Read on for more info, and don't miss the second stage of Last Stand taking place at Mellow Park in Berlin on August 26th, and be chosen by a pro to ride for their team!
“The 1st LAST STAND event took place on June 10th at BADYARD in Lyon, France. LAST STAND was the last BMX event to be held in this place created by Nico BADET. A hundred riders from all over France and even Switzerland came to enjoy this indoor spot one last time. It was the AM riders who got the ball rolling with both street riding and park riding. The PRO riders invited for the event watched the jam to select riders to create their teams.
After a good hour of riding, 8 teams of 5 riders were formed in a friendly spirit. AM riders rode so well with a good energy... The top 3 teams were identified by judges as Joe Jarvis team, the one of Valentin COTTOT with the street riders of the No Fate Crew and the team of Alex KENNEDY…
In the end, Joe Jarvis' team won with Monah, Yvan, Philippe and Chaaab. Between complete riding (half street, half park) and consistent runs, it's a deserved victory.
Thank you to the riders present and to the partners." – Fabien Conroy
