It's been a crazy year regarding BMX events, both races and freestyle contests. The UCI just delivered the latest info on the 2020 World Cup & World Championship season. With safety in mind it doesn't look too good. Please read the update below.

Following extensive discussions with the event’s organising committee, the 2020 UCI BMX World Championships, which had been scheduled to take place in Houston (USA) on 26-31 May and which had previously been postponed, have unfortunately been cancelled at the request of the organisers.
Edit to celebrate nine years of sobriety and BMX. Song: “Gone” The Deconstruction.
Madrid, Spain is home to a flatland talent that you may not of heard of yet - Varo Hernandez. During lockdown, Varo and filmer Rafael Black decided to make the most of their free time, and Varo filmed some wild links for this new video.

We took a trip to State College, PA to meet up with AV from Grindworks BMX and Work team rider Brad Gibbs. The day was pretty darn productive so we decided a day edit was in order. Brad is rider the "Easy Street" Frame, Tom is on the "Squirrel Catcher", and John is on the "Tempest"
Yes, it’s true, The Rye Airfield park and all of the land around it is for sale. Beau Lambert explains: "We were going to make this public on April 13th this year but we also knew that so many of our young customers had already had a rough go with remote learning and massive social changes. Losing what many consider their 2nd home would just add to it. There are so many reasons behind this decision but Covid is unfortunately the final straw for us to make this information public.
1) - Operate with sessions, currently referred to as training sessions with a coach on hand all the time to meet Covid standards, until a sale can be made. This could happen as fast as a couple months or take more than a year. We will stay open as long as we are not going into debt.
2) - If a sale doesn’t take place and we are still covering costs we will stay open until April 13th, 2022. It was always our goal to make it at least 20 years.
3) - If demand isn’t there for us to operate under current restrictions we will close the doors, that could be at anytime. IF sessions sell out we will keep adding them to meet demand.

Alberto Moya has the balance of a ballerina but on a bike. The way he manages to perform a trick on such slow speed is incredible and makes many flatland riders jealous. Where others spin fast, Alberto moves slow which is the creative style the Spaniard brings to the floor. It puts the crowd into a trance. Learn more about Alberto below.
