The results for the year ending Wicked Jam are in. What a gnarly contest. Packed into one of the sickest parks in the world, pros were throwing down some crazy stuff. Prelims were amazing. Too bad some guys who put on a show didn’t make it to finals. Morgan Wade was transfering from one side of the park to another, but he broke his wheel and forks. Anthony Napolitan and Chris Gerber were going huge and doing some crazy bangers, incuding a flair whip from Gerber and a 360 indian air superman seatgrab from Anthony. Then came the finals. 12-10th Zack Early, Chris Childs, and Zane Bradley were at home in this park flowing through the course and going huge with great style and great lines. 9th, Seth Klinger was his usual self, boosting everything and doing big tricks including flip whips and crazy looking 720's. There was a tie for 7th, between Marcus Tooker and Ronnie Napolitan. Either way, both guys killed it. 6th, Brian Hunt crashed hard on a downside whip transfer, but got right up and like he says himself “hit ‘em wit’ it ”. 5th, Brett Banasiewicz went huge and threw down some stunts at an intense altitude. 4th, Nicholi Rogatkin

This will be of interest for those who grew up in the BMX Action/Freestylin' magazine days. Windy Osborn has opened a website where you can pick photos taken by her during these days ('80-s). She'll print them for you and ship them for you at a decent price. Owning these classic pics will be like owning gold for some.

Even if you're not going to order any, flip through the three pages of classic BMX freestyle pics.

Today December 5th 2009 its 30 years ago that Sinterklaas brought Bart and Paul de Jong their first real BMX Bike. We were riding crappy Dutch schoolbikes before that and we broke at least 50 of them before the Peugeot CPX100 came into our land. Asking the local bikeshop for months when they will arrive we finally got them and the bikes were build right out of the box the same night for a quick testride. This night changed our lives forever, both Bart (Mirraco, FATBMX, IBMXFF member, Judge etc) and Paul (Paul's Boutique BMX, PURE BMX, IBMXFF member, Judge etc) never left BMX and today we

Last weekend I was in Prague, Czech to check out the 2010 IBMXFF World's facility and to enjoy a weekend of FMX. The World's facility just outside of Prague city looks promising but needs some ramps. With about 7 months to go I'm convinced that Marek Rejman and his crew can put that together. So get ready to go to Prague in 2010.
