FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

This week's instalment of DIG Locals comes to you from the streets of Colombia with Omar Calderon, AKA Momo. Filmed over the course of three years with Sebas Martinez and the Clant Crew.

Had some time to kill between the last USA BMX National in Louisville and the World Cup in Bogota, Colombia. So decided to go to Colombia early and have some fun in Medellin with my buddy Vincent Pelluard (and of course the other locals). 4th time in Colombia, and it delivered once again.
Massive S/O to Vincent Pelluard & Mariana Pajon for letting me stay at their place!

We head south to Bogota Colombia to visit the home of Haro rider, Michael Mogollon, and to ride the biggest parks and the most cutty streets spots this beautiful country has to offer. This trip also marks the first Haro trip for new teammate, Perris Benegas, although she fit in with the crew so well it felt as though we have been traveling together for years! But that's how it goes with great people in great places, you can't help but have a great time! -

Final video of the trip to Colombia I did with Simon Marquart. This time we traveled to the north to ride the track in Santa Marta and finish the trip in Barranquilla.

Simon Marquart and I went to Colombia to give some clinics, enjoy the good weather and ride some bikes with friends in the beautiful country of Colombia! In the first video we visited the SX track in Bogota, the Peñamonte BMX SX track in Ubate and the track in Envigado, Medellin.

Resumen de lo vivido en el evento BiciGo Xtreme Fest el pasado 2 de Diciembre del 2018 en la ciudad de Bogota. Bmx Profesional , Best Trick & Bmx Girls. Un gran show , y talentos muy flow en nuestro pais. Un orgullo por el Bmx Colombiano.

We spent the last part of our trip in Colombia in Medellín (and a bit in Cartagena). We got the opportunity to ride the dream backyard of Andrea Escobar and even got to ride some laps at the 'Mariana Pajon' Supercross track, where we rode the World Championships in 2016.

Went to Colombia for almost 2 weeks to check out the country with my brother Justin and our friend Robin Dijk. While we were there we obviously had to ride some BMX Tracks as well! Thanks to Miguel Calixto and Pedro Montero for being our travel guides in Bogota / Ubate.
