We are excited to formally introduce Tom Russell to the squad. Tom grew up under the influence of Roey and he's been on our radar for a while. So it feels right for us to support his talents and for him to become part of the next generation of Mutiny.

We spent the last part of our trip in Colombia in Medellín (and a bit in Cartagena). We got the opportunity to ride the dream backyard of Andrea Escobar and even got to ride some laps at the 'Mariana Pajon' Supercross track, where we rode the World Championships in 2016.

X-games Sydney day 1 is a wrap. For the first time in action sports history, xgames touches base in Oceania and the weather gods weren’t on the builders' side. The Xgames crew battled through an excessive amount of unforeseen rain which made preparations tough. After a couple of changes in the day schedule, day 1 kicked off in traditional xgames style. On the Programm was Bmx big air and dirt qualifying as well as bmx street finals.
The California skateparks crew once again did an insane job on the street course which got dried up by the Sydney sun before finals kicked of at 4:15pm. With a 10 rider all star lineup the show was set. Combining riding styles of Dakota Roche with Dennis Enarson and Alex Donnachie could only
During this week Olympic gold medals were handed out for BMX Freestyle Park in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The Youth Olympic Games had a mixed BMX Freestyle event on the schedule which started with a Seeding and Qualifying phase on Wednesday, followed by a big and small final on Thursday. Qualifying for the Youth Olympic Games happened last year already during the UCI Urban World Championships in Chengdu, China. 8 Men and 8 women got a spot to perform at the YOG which was a first in BMX Freestyle. The riders became part of their national Olympic squad for the games and represented their country and welcomed the support from all corners. Hurricane (FISE) had built up a basic Park course at the Urban Park in Puerto Madero for the 17-18 year old athletes.
After qualifying on Wednesday 10 October it looked like the battle for gold would be between Germany and Argentina. But with Germany in first position in both Men (Evan Brandes) and Women (Lara Lessmann) in qualification, it was up to Argentina (Iki Mazza and Agustina Roth) to shine during the finals. The top four in each gender made it to the Big final. Those who finished in postition 5-8 in qualifying were stuck in the small final and would only battle for those available places in the ranking. Men and Women rode separately. Each rider scored points and the points of the team mates were added up to form the final ranking of the competition. 15 points for a first place, 10 for second, 8 for third, 6 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1. In case of a tie, the highest rank would count. If that would still be the same, both teams would get the same spot.
