Munich, Germany, June 5th 2009 – Corey Bohan, James Foster, Ryan Guettler, Dave Dillewaard, Luke Parslow, TJ Ellis or Cameron White - The biggest names in the business confirmed their attendance at the BIG IN BAVARIA dirt jump comp in Munich on July 24th and 25th. This one of a kind dirt event showcases X-Games, Red Bull Elevation and Dew Tour winners and therefore can claim to be one of the best European dirt jump contests in the season 2009. The Colombian rider Alejandro Caro already promised to “pull it as hard as he can”.

Dave Dillewaard from Australia said almost the same, but also pointed out that he especially can’t wait to enjoy the luscious Bavarian beer in the evening. Rob Darden, American BMX pro who placed 3rd at the X Games 2008, can’t wait to have his big time in Bavaria, too: “I am looking forward to some good times with some great friends while getting loose on our bikes and taking in new parts of the world.”

KINGS ISLAND, Cincinnati (May 24, 2009) – The finals of the ASA Action Sports World Tour’s (ASA ASWT) Kings Island event delighted park visitors with shows that pushed the limits of everyone’s expectations and crowned champions more than deserving of recognition. After months of placing second to Pierre-Luc Gagnon (Montreal, Canada), Danny Mayer (Omaha, Nebraska) took top honors this weekend in the Skateboard Vert contest and claimed what was his first-ever professional competition title. BMX Vert’s Simon Tabron (Newquay, England) also took the top podium spot with a smile across his face that is classic Tabron and reminiscent of the champion fans have known him to be.

“I’ve had so much fun this week,” said Tabron after the contest. “Being here and winning [at Kings Island] has been great.” Tabron entered the BMX Vert contest as the number one qualifier and in the envious position of being the last rider to compete, both an advantageous position and sometimes a curse.
