It took a while to get back to normal and in fact, I'm still tired but it was all worth it. The World's in Cologne were a good time. Camp Holland was in effect and meeting up with everyone was just great. Making it from one side to the other side of the contest area wasn't a quick walk through the park. It took half an hour at least. The riding was off the hook as well. Jamie Bestwick on vert. It doesn't get any better than that. The first jump on dirt was 9 meters long but that didn't hold Anthony Napolitan back doing no-handed fronties on it and flip double whips on the last set. The level keeps on getting higher. On Mini the big surprise was this 14 year DK kid called Maddog. So good. He sees a trick, puts his brains to work, and then pulls it. Flair barspin for instance, pulled in his final run. Ondra Slez did one before him. Dhers won though. A bit of drama went on in Pro flat apparently but with a bit of a D-tour Raphael Chiquet took the pro title. Pro Park never happened which was a shame because over 100 pros had lined up for it. Highlight of the event for me personally was the 1986 flashback HARO Demo with the original crew. So good.
Despite the rain, the weekend was great and actually had a "world's vibe" to it. Four nights of heavy partying was part of it, of course, because it was the world's. But we've got more BMX news this week. Just read FAT Friday # 29.

-Got a little message from a lost Ron Wilkerson: "Hey, it's ronw. 'calling' from Stockholm...!... I WAS going togoto Russia tomorrow, but I didn't learn that I needed a VISA until I was on the way to Europe...then after going to the Russia Consulate, I learned that they need 5 days to give me one, sooooo now I'm in Stockholm for the wknd, I think." If you're from Sweden, make him feel comfortable.

-AL D announced the latest news on the next bmxinvasion "bike to school" #9 competition to take place at the DOME PARK located in WILKES BARRE Pa. ON AUGUST 22ND 2009 - The dome is a fantastic park with great lines to flow with a few huge ramps included in the park for the pro riders to shred. Al D: "I just spoke recently to the owner and he agrees to host the domes first ever bmx contest. I'm hoping I can get some support from your company in order to have this event. Most of you know how I operate making these bmxinvasion contests affordable to the riders in order
for them to enter the competition. I do this for the fun of it, the park makes its overhead from the riders entry for the use of the park. I know the enconomy is getting rough and I am seeking just small items for prizes or whatever you have that can help me get this off the ground." AL DIMINO: 1-570-422-6515
