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.

Are you Slow? Would you like to be faster? Then all you have to do is send $40,000 in a well-concealed envelope and that will reserve you a position in a forced labor camp that offers proven techniques to possibly make you the fastest thing on a BMX. Results that you will be aware of, guaranteed.
Results may vary. Guarantee in no way implies that you will have notable results in your riding or even that you will remember how to ride your bike when you are freed from the compound. Guarantee in no way implies that you will have improved BMX skills, only that you will be aware of the fact that you have been had and that your months of forced labor have done nothing for your riding.
Getting faster is a skill that money can't buy. Sure, there are dozens of crazy diet and training plans out there, but what really works? No matter what level of riding you may be at, here are ten quick ideas that are guaranteed to make you faster. If you are in staging at the moment reading this then let's just say that you have poor planning skills. These ideas are not overnight cures to having the reflexes of a slug hanging on your branch of the family tree, but they are free, and when you stay dedicated, will work.

3000 spectators had a blast as the world best BMX riders fought their way to the finals in the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup round taking place in Copenhagen on Saturday 9 may 2009.
Copenhagen is bidding to host the 2012 World BMX Championships, and judging by this weekend’s event, the city of Copenhagen and its bicycle-crazy inhabitants are really up for it. The beautiful spring weather certainly didn’t harm the event either.
Approximately 3000 spectators were there for the event, and apart from the expected world class cycling they we’re treated with international djs, live music and spectacular side events. Danish Crown Prince Frederik, an avid sports follower, spent the whole afternoon at the track, obviously enjoying himself all the way through.
