5 riders, 3 weeks, 3 countries: the FURTHER road trip through South East Asia has begun! Take 5 riders from 4 different countries who have never travelled together before, give them 3 weeks and send them to South East Asia and what do you get?

Riding amazing skateparks, shredding street spots in Singapore (without getting thrown in jail), exploring the streets and riding dirt in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia,

Last week the Russian BMX Award show took place in Moscow. It's the Russian version of the Nora Cup which they've put on for the last couple of years. It's a legit event, put on by BMX-ers for BMX-ers and it gets the scene together in the heart of winter. And cold it was. -25 at night, but once inside things were warm and comfy. For this year's edition Aaron Ross and Matthias Dandois along with myself received an invite to experience the event. Aaron couldn't make it because of a bum ankle but Matthias and I met up in Prague and took the last plane to Moscow.

A lot of times it comes down to the same people caring about the scene. In Italy they've got a crew with a BMX passion called NoSoccer (Alessandro Civera, Frederico, Angelo). Their latest project is getting an indoor place to ride for the winter. Easier said than done but the place is ready and for 5 Euros per session you can ride till the end of February 2013. Beats the cold, the rain and the snow.

We should all push BMX to grow in 2013. Create spots, organise

Eurocamp has been around for a year now. Building up a park from scratch is tough, but things are heading in the right direction in Tossa de Mar, especially now that the Vans rebeljam is coming up. It's like building a new trails spot. It might now be done in a few weeks, but it can only get bigger and better if you put the work in. At Eurocamp there's not just trails to ride, but a pump track, spine, park course and some smaller street stuff as well. It can only grow from here, and it will. It's paradise already so check out the pics to get a better idea of the place:

The last couple of weeks we've spent on the road and haven't had one drop of rain yet. It's very unique in Europe. I know this doesn't happen often in Holland, and certainly not in the UK. That's why opening up your own indoor place to ride is a big thing. The 4Down crew, in cooperation with etnies, now have their own indoor place so evening and winter sessions can go on without any hassles from security guards, or that stupid wet stuff.

It's tough to complain about the heat when you've been cussing about the shitty weather a few weeks earlier. But towards the evening it cooled off enough to get a session in with the visiting pros at Eurocamp. Non other than Stefan Lantschner and Ruben Alcantara geared up for some blasting around the park together with Perico and the other riders at Eurocamp. It's always a blast seeing these guys shred around the park at full speed stylin' it up. Do yourself a favour and put a visit to Eurocamp on your calendar.
