Sosh Freestyle Cup, Best trick Contest and qualification results.
The BMX Flat at the Sosh Freestyle cup is going great so far! On Thursday, The best trick contest had the riders going for 1 hour jam session trying to pull their hardest trick. Everyone killed it but in the end Alex Jumelin took the win with a crazy backwheel maneuver. He won a skydive jump over Marseille. Yesterday it was time for the qualifications. Riders had a three minute run + 3 tries for the last trick. It was a bit windy on the beach but the crowd was on fire and riders rode amazing!
Just before the weekend the new issue of BMX Plus! drops in the mail. The weather this weekend isn't looking too good so this might come in handy. But where do we start? With the UCI BMX SX World Cup race report from Manchester? Or the HARO SD V2 test report? We used to go straight to the news section of the magazine but the internet has taken over that part. Did you know Sam Willoughby's B-day is when he is in Sweden for the World Cup in August? We just found out because it's in BMX Plus! There's also a new page where you can even get a photo in BMX PLUS! Follow them on Instagram @bmxplusmag and add the hashtag #bmxplusmailbag in your photo and you've got the chance to show up in the print version. Dillon Leeper gets put on the spot, DeGroot has his two pages and reports about Trey Jones' backyard. Alex Rabal shows five tricks to do on the Subrosa rail. Woodward West hosted an Open Am comp and Ryan Guettler takes care of the report. Have you ever put a press-fit BB in your frame? Unless you're a racer, you probably haven't.
