The second round of the Eastpak BMX Series took place in Gafanha da Nazare’s skatepark. With 64 registered riders between 10 and 35 years, the number of riders went beyond our expectations. As usual, the competition format was a 6 minute jam for 3 riders, one competing at a time.

 Saturday due to the heat, the contest started later than expected. The first ones to compete were the Beginners, followed by Amateurs and Pros. With so many registered riders the prelims ended really close to dark. The prelims were followed by a mega dinner with about 80.

The finals happened next day. It was very colorful, which help cheer up the grey sky’s. The best of the beginners was Tiago Castro from Vila Nova de Gaia, followed by João Almeida from Viseu, and João Carmo from S. Domingos de Rana… In Amateur class, Rodrigo Vieira from Amadora took 3rd place, Goncalo Cruz 2nd and 1st place was Joel Rodrigues from Viseu.

With Grands right around the corner, many are gearing up for one last solid effort to put their team at the top of the standings. Last year Dan's Competition ran away with the win for the National Team and likewise for HBR in Team NBL, but can they do it again? After the results from the Keystone National in Pottstown, Dan's continues to lead the chase but Felt/Extreme Sports/HBR will have a shot at the title if things go their way at the Grands. HBR is sitting behind the powerful RADD Racing team and the two will go head-to-head in Louisville.

NEW YORK - August 28, 2007 - The AST Dew Tour, the world’s premier season-long action sports tour, today announced the winner of the PlayStation® Trick of the Week Award from the Vans® Invitational. Voting began on Monday, August 20, the day after competitions ended. Fans were able to view video clips and vote online at astdewtour.com until Monday, August 27.

Fans selected Mike Spinner as the PlayStation® Trick of the Week winner after he performed a 1080 in competition during the BMX Park Finals. Spinner finished in first place in the finals.

“I’m so psyched! This is one of my dream tricks,” said Spinner. “Not only did I get to pull it during my Dew Tour run, but it helped me win the Vans Invitational and the PlayStation Trick of the Week. I couldn’t be more excited."

Spinner faced stiff competition for the PlayStation® Trick of the Week Award. Other Trick of the Week nominees included: 

100 pages of BMX form issue number 137 of RIDEBMX. It's got the high quality photos as you have come to expect and a whole lot of new ads that are usually good to look at too. Mirraco's Dave Rytell whips some train tracks in San Fran, Allan Cooke does a rail to rail for a DC ad, Jimmy Levan goes crooked on a big rail in an Odyssey spread, Sergio Layos gets the etnies ad with a downside whip, Colin MacKay barspins over a fence (Haro) and Gary Young does a ridiculous ditch wall ride for a new Vans advertisement. The ads are making the mag better. Rob Wise scores his third full page with the same picture. It was featured in a French magazine, a German mag and now in RIDEBMX. Kosman shot it.

And there is loads more in the October issue:
