Red Bull UCI Pump Track World Championships Qualifier - Germany
Red Bull UCI Pump Track World Championships Qualifier - Berlin, Mellowpark, Germany. It is Vineta Petersone’s (Latvia) second win this season after she secured her World Final spot in Portugal at the end of 2020, leaving the World Final ticket for freestyle rider Lara Lessman from Germany to travel to the World Final but riders are Olympians. Lara secured a 6th at the Olympics after breaking her collarbone 6 weeks before she travelled to Tokyo. Vineta had the fastest time of the day in the Women’s category with 15.352
The men’s category came down to the wire between Philip Schaub (Germany) and Max von Eijndhoven (Netherlands) during the Big Final with both riders breaking the 14 second track mark, Max with a 13,935
Eze Helmreich of Córdoba, Argentina rips his local trails for nearly 3 minutes straight. We met Eze back in '18 at Woodward West where he was working and riding everyday. On our way in we heard about him from mutual friends telling us how crazy the Argentinian was on the trails, in the park or at the plaza.
Riders on fire, waving massive crowds under a bright sun, this weekend event in Le Havre was the best way to kick off the 2021 tour in style. In all the sports, tricks and lines were insane as in the Bowl than the Freestyle Park. Make sure to find out all the results and stay tuned to the next one in Canet-en-Roussillon. From the women's final this morning, Laury Perez smashed it with big wall, an air whip and an air bar. Coming from Sérignan, she crossed France to achieve as much a victory in the contest as the Winner title of the FFC BMX Freestyle Park French Cup.
In the Pro category, the third step of the podium went to Daniel Wedemeijer who stood out with an international level run, where each of the tricks was enhanced by flawless execution.

"Samuel is a 25 years old kid from a small town up in Galicia (north of Spain) called O’barco de Valdeorras. This place is a valley in the middle of nowhere. It’s got a tiny and shitty skatepark and no street spots but yet him and his best friend “Pombo” have been shredding that place for years. I only met Samuel once when we were teenagers but years later, we got to hang out again, he was funny, good on the bike and the king of the party, haha.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
