It’s been a long time since the last Ride Further Tour, so when we had the idea of doing an event at the brand-new Lohhof skatepark, we thought about doing something special by going back to what we all enjoy: BMX in its variety of different riding styles! A complete new concrete and wooden setup in Lohhof (Munich), Indian summer and Oktoberfest - a very promising combination for an amazing BMX weekend in Germany!
Only that that indian summer never showed up and the weather changed all original plans from an overall skatepark contest where street, park and bowl would be combined to sessions at certain dry parts of the park. But that way AMs got to ride with the Pros which got a lot of the locals stoked.

For the second time the Ride Further Tour took place at the B.O.S. Festival in beautiful Serignan, South France! We had a pretty great mix of riding styles over to ride the park and legendary dirt spot. One thing that's almost certain in South France is great weather but this time 16 of the best riders were battling not only for UCI but also to "survive" the rain and strong wind... how things change!
2019's first stop of the Ride Further Tour went down during the ISPO tradeshow in Munich with nobody less than Sergio Layos, JB Peytavit and the freshly crowned Youth Olympics Winner Evan Brandes who took the chance to tear the miniramp apart! Good times and on to the next one!
Sergio Layos (ESP) secured his win with a seemingly impossible line followed by Jonas Lindemair (DE) who came second in his first ever bowl contest.
Amazing riding, awesome concerts and great crowds made the second stop of the Ride Further Tour into one hell of a weekend! 20 invited riders from all over the world attended the first ever dirt event at PULS OPEN AIR music festival in Kaltenberg together with 10.000 guests to watch international bands and DJs perform at the castle of the Prince of Bavaria. The latin american crew with Inaki Iriartes (ARG), Jonathan Camacho (ECU) and Victor Munoz (CL) as well as Jake Leiva from the US, Konrad Szabo and Danny Josa (HUN) and Kieran Reilly (UK) made their way to the picturesque bavarian town to ride the dirts together with local shredders like Chris Haas and Chris Halbritter right in the heart of the festival.

Big stylish tricks by the world's best BMX dirt riders such as Jake Leiva, David Godziek and Tom van den Bogaard at the Ride Further Tour stop at PULS Open Air music festival 2018.
Sergio Layos (ESP) secured his win a Pocket Wallride 180 out followed by Alessio Tonoli (CH) with an almost impossible transfer over one of the biggest gaps in the park and Jonas Lindemair (DE) with a 360 Whip to Invert.
A miniramp right in the center of Vienna, Austria - sounded like a great setup for tour stop #7 presented by JBL & Homme Magazine! Unfortunately the weather wasn't on our side again so the Cash4Tricks Session at the city's Streetlife Festival got moved to a nearby indoor skatepark but as soon as it stopped raining the guys went back to the miniramp for a little night session!
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
