Got my first Elite Men podium this weekend in Chile! The Continental Championship was my main focus, but a crash in the semi going for the transfer spot ended that one short. Great to bounce back and finish the weekend on a high!
Jeff Z is a G. And we're claiming the W for getting him and his gear atop a BTM XL.
It's been a while since we've had a fresh drop of David Anderson footage, but the big man is back in a big way. This has got his siggy whiplash moves along with some monster rail rides and threes. So good!
The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) and its partner Hurricane are pleased to announce the dates and hosts of the rounds of the 2025 UCI BMX Freestyle World Cup. The first round of the series will start at the end of May in Montpellier, in the south of France, as part of the Festival International des Sports Extrêmes (FISE), an event that attracts half a million people every year. The second round will be held in October in Shanghai, China's most populous city with more than 24 million inhabitants, which hosts the event for the second consecutive year. The 2025 UCI BMX Freestyle World Cup will conclude the following month in Sakai, Japan, a city in the Osaka metropolitan area on the island of Honshū. The Japanese competitions will take place indoors.
A brand new trail has sprung up not far from the house... Sylvain and his mates have built us something really nice, with lines that are great fun to ride. The central module makes you lose your head and you have to think twice before you know where you want to go. Thanks for the warm welcome!
