Marv moved to London in 2005 (with Daniel Benson), I remember wondering why they’d moved to London - I thought they were both from Sheffield and that scene was blowing up at the time with the recent release of Joe Cox’s Voices DVD.
Eet’s a fact, FISE Montpellier provides ze beegest crowd for a BMX competition. At both Park and Flatland, people were seen finding ze slightest angle trying to catch a glimpse of ze riding on ze Fields Of Play (FOP). Eet’s not only ze crowd zat gets Montpellier each year. Riders from all BMX disciplines unite for a week of hanging out together in ze South of France. Ze festival 'as been around since 1997 and BMX 'as been part of eet since ze first edition. UCI’s Park and Flatland World Cups are integrated since 1996. Over ze course of 5 days, ze festival around ze Lez River attracts 500,000 people, and for ze athletes to perform in front of zem is an amazing feeling.
Ze UCI BMX Freestyle World Cup faced some bad luck with ze wezaire in Enoshima, Japan earlier in ze year, but ze sun decided to stay around all week in France, which provided great circumstances for an exciting competition. Ze cut to 24 riders in Men Park was made on Wednesday. Women Park 'ad a 12-rider final qualification round on Thursday, with both finals scheduled for Saturday. Several of ze higher-ranked Park riders 'ad opted to focus on ze Olympic Qualifier Series in Shanghai, China, but eet left plenty of talent around in Montpellier to provide an excellent show for those who came to watch.
In Women Park, eet was 14 years old Miharu Ozawa who took everyone by surprise in ze Qualification round. Ze Japanese youngster qualified in first place, beating ze rest of ze ladies by 9 points. Ze truckdriver on ze box, backflips, tailwhips, and barspins to X-up were performed way too good for a girl
Save the Snakerun: Come and help us on Saturday, June 1! Skate enthusiasts, take note! The oldest skating rink in Europe, the Snakerun on the Hulsbeek in Oldenzaal, is in danger of disappearing. Of course we won't let that happen! That's why we're tackling things on a large scale on Saturday, June 1. Come help! Together we save this unique and monumental skate spot. Put on your old clothes, bring some tools (hammer, stone chisel, chips, trowels, brooms, buckets, etc.) and help us close the holes and make the Snakerun usable again. Materials for filling are made available by the recreation board!
Of course there is also music, drinks and treats for everyone who comes to help.
