Arnette is excited to announce their collaboration with the Funkman himself, Del the Funky Homosapien, on two signature colorways of the Fire Drill, available exclusively at Sunglass Hut. Del’s frame of choice, the Fire Drill is Arnette’s funk-infused, modern classic, making it the ideal canvas to reflect Del’s unique and eclectic sense of style. 

Because no vert contest will be on the program at this year's Playgrounds stop in Berlin next month, the street course is much bigger. Shitty for the vert guys, but better for the street dogs. Talking about dogs, the Disco Dogs will play at the Riders' night on Saturday. Aik!

Pro riders in either flatland, street and/or park who want to know what it's like to ride at the rebeljam, can now sign up via the www.rebeljam.com website. The event will take place the first weekend of December in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Next to the indoor comp there will be a BMX art show and a few parties are lined up as well. Spots to ride for this event are limited but it's not invite only. All pro riders can enter. Do it today.

For the fourth year in a row Flatland Fuel and Fat Tony are proud to present an exclusive Flatland BMX Calendar. The 12-month 2012 wall calendar features 15 original flatland photos of riders from eight countries shot all around the world. Each month showcases a different rider in a unique location including Japan, Finland, Germany, England, and the U.S. In addition to the twelve months, there is also a bonus poster so you can keep flatland on your wall even after 2012 has passed. As the only calendar of its kind, the 2012 Flatland BMX Calendar presented by Jungle Rider is a must-have for flatland riders worldwide. 

The BMX (street, dirt and flat international) comp will take place by the 28 to 30 of Oct, with a total prize money of 7 000 euros. Big party 29th oct at night with Flat land comp (with Matthias Dandois…) and best trick ledge + Straat comp (Street Versus Flat on a wheeling table) + Bunny Up contest with DJ, 

VANS rebeljam will be having a Flatland contest this year. It's the very first time that Flatland will be a part of the event and we couldn't be happier with this addition. Flatland is progressing more then ever these days and a good amount of people from all over the world are pushing Flatland in the right direction.The unique judging format we use at the rebeljam is perfect for a modern Flatland contest. 

Back in April we opened up The Hunt video contest to a group of pro and top am riders as an opportunity to show the world what they were all about- and win over $5,000 in the process. The riders responded with blood sweat and footage – some of the most progressive street and ramp riding that’s ever been put on one DVD by so many different riders. Let’s put a tent on this circus. “There is so much amazing riding going on right now, and these guys needed to have a better opportunity

Overhere at FATBMX we're not scared to go a different route. If everyone takes a left, we go right. We've done a flatland week on FATBMX, we've given the girls a week of coverage and now we're going to do a Vert week starting on Monday 24 October. We don't want to leave anyone out so please get in touch in the next couple of days if you consider yourself a vert rider, or rode vert in the past. Of course we're looking for some help in the direction of vert pictures, vert videos and we're ready to do interviews, post bike checks, show which vert ramps are still out there etc. To make this Vert Week complete, we need your contributions. It's time to give the gladiators of BMX some well deserved respect. Want to be part of it? Send a mail to:

Eight semifinalists sent us their videos, which will be scored by judges. These assessments will determine who gets into the finals. The final stage, will allow players to show a lot more than ever. To record the last movie they will have time until November 13th and video length limit is increased from 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes.

It is the most exciting moment of the whole game and we can expect a tough fight for victory, as already seen in recent videos, where riders pushed their level or riding so much! All for the best scores from the judges, what’s more they will do to win?
