The Vans rebeljam is only a few days away. The Camp-Ramps crew have teamed up with some local riders to get the job done in time for Friday's practice. The kick-off was yesterday and while a crew was tearing down a stage, the ramps were moved inside and the building started. 4 giant truckloads full of wood showed up to build a creative course for the comp this weekend at the Klokgebouw in Eindhoven. With 20.000 Euros prizemoney, most of the best Pro riders, 2 killer MC's, a sweet course, and a killer Monster Riders night on the program, you better make sure you get yourself to Eindhoven on Saturday and Sunday.

To all the thousands of friends, family and fans, Dane has gone to fly high in the skies above. He has passed peacefully in his sleep after fighting so hard. He has had so much support from everyone he touched. RIP Dane Michael Searls 22/02/88-25/11/11. Always loved and remembered. Forever Young

The Athlete Recovery Fund (ARF) began over three years ago with the mission to assist professionals in BMX, Skate and FMX with financial support with the costs that insurance does not cover after a severe injury. In that time we have learned a ton of information that hadto be experienced not taught. Medjet is a membership program that arranges “hospital of choice” medical evacuation and repatriation during personal and business travel – both domestically and abroad. There are zero restrictions for professional athletes and adventure-related activities – likewise no costs to a member for Medjet services in time of need. . As athletes travel all over the world for competition and demos ending up in a hospitalthat doesn’t live up to the care they expect at home can be a terrifying issue.

The support that ARF has received from the athletes who donate through their prize purse at the Dew Tour, event organizers who donate cash and offer areas for activation and awareness, the brands in action sports who have donated and the public

It almost feels like Christmas, when you look at the list of names of the 28 riders, who'll travel on November 20th to Berlin for the World Cup Skateboarding Event & international BMX Contest. They all will fight in the category “Street” for a nice chunk of price money and the much sought after title. The live sound will be delivered by Incubus, Zebrahead and fiN. The earlier announced “Alkaline Trio” can´t make it due to an injury of singer Matt.
