The promised photo gallery by Tregunna is right here. It takes a bit to get photos from the camera onto the computer, into the program and then into the right size, shape and form. These things don't show up on a site by blowing at them, it actually requires some work. But Philip's pics are awesome and well worth a look. The comp in Eindhoven was mellow and cosy and the tricks performed by the riders pushed personal levels to the next step. Here's what you missed if you failed to show up:

Woodward at Copper steps up offerings with a new twist on progression with the addition of a BMX camp which started Sunday, June 15. BMX Campers will have access to an on-site foam pit and indoor park, pump tracks, outdoor bike parks, and dedicated dirt jumps at Frisco Bike Park. “With the remodel of the Woodward at Copper Barn, Copper’s 19,800 square foot indoor training facility, we have opened the door for BMX’ers in the central United States to experience the fun and progression a Woodward Camp offers” explains Steve Swope,

It was a surprise last year that Catfish showed up to announce the Middle of the Berm dirt jam in The Hague, Netherlands. The spot is hidden in some bush and starts on top with a smaller line that leads to the bottom where a giant set op doubles is awating the dare devils. Some skills and balls are required to be able to jump the complete line but even jumping part of it, or riding the pump track next to it, will get you your BMX fix for the day.

On Saturday 22 June next, the Berm in the Middle jam will take place once again. BMX and MTB. Separate contests, but riding together for the rest of the day. The trails are located at the Haringkade and starts at noon. There's a 700 Euro purse for BMX and a GoPro Best Trick contest as well. And of course there is an afterparty, but not at the trails. DJ Boehmer and DJ Winchester will start playing tunes at HART BEACH Scheveningen at 18:00hr.

Straight after the Papendal race we cruised over to Eindhoven for the 040BMXOPEN contest. Some money was up for grabs and lots of goodies at the popular BMX park in Eindhoven. Going indoors when the weather is nice outside always hurts but at least Frits van der Linden had set up his Weber BBQ kitchen outside to enjoy the sunshine. Indoors some hot riding was still coming up with the Red Bull High air comp taking place when we walked in. With Daniel Wedemeijer in the building it would be hard to beat that guy. But Shannon Balorian, Paul Thoelen and Leroy Kleppe kept him honest. The extra kicker in front of the box jump gave the riders the possibility to show some race skills to gain extra speed for the undervert quarter that was used for the high air comp. Daniel Wedemeijer set an air at 3,10 meters that wasn't beat by the rest of them.

The high air comp was followed by the Pro finals. 8 riders. 2 groups of 4. Jam session. 2 runs each, plus last trick. Shanice finished 8th but did pull a flair on the quarter and a frontflip on

The sun's out, and it's actually hot. Time for some shorts. How easy would this world be if a human didn't need more than some shorts and a T-shirt. Day in, day out. I'd be down for that. Makes life a lot easier. Unfortunately life isn't like that where we live, but it's got some hot days. On those days you need some shorts. DC have got a full collection of just shorts. Need some?
