Bubba Harris
“On Monday July 21st, I was released from Redline Bicycles. With my injuries and recent surgery, I was unable to fulfill my obligations under the current contract. After 8 years with Redline, I want to thank them for everything they've done for me. I wish all my teammates the best in the future and will always consider them my teammates. As for me, I will be back and stronger then ever... you haven't seen the last of me. While the chapter of my racing career with Redline is closed, I look forward to beginning a new chapter with a new sponsor. I would like to thank my sponsors that have shown their continued support, VISA, NIKE, Kronik, Lizard Skins and Industrial. To all the Bubba Harris fans, I look forward to seeing you at the track very soon. I know this experience will make me a better person and BMXer in the future.” Bubba

Suzuki BMX Masters Freecaster

More than 400 participants from all over the world will be present to take part in one of the most fun and exciting BMX events to take place in Europe. They will include pros Ryan Nyquist (USA), Mike Aitken (USA) Dennis Enarson (USA), Josh Harrington (USA), Allistar Whitton (UK), Luke Parslow (AUS), Cory „Nasty“ Nastazio (USA) and Heath Pinter (USA).

Daniel Dhers (VEN), Mark Webb (UK) and Harry Main (UK) will also be present to battle it out for the top spot in the Braun cruZer Tour Final. All three are in with a chance of Braun glory since the contest is judged best two results out of three. Dhers, who took third overall last year, won the first stage at FISE but was hindered by a flat at NASS where he came in third, allowing young Brit Harry Main to gain second place and a real chance at winning overall. Braun cruZer star Mark Webb who has won every tour overall so far will also be hoping to retain his crown. Mark's performance up until now has been nothing short of extraordinary considering the serious back injury he is still recovering from. The battle for the number one spot will be seriously tight. Harry Main has been improving leaps and bounds, can he upset this final to take home the trophy? Watching these guys pull their best tricks will be a thrilling experience no doubt.
