It has been a while since we rode our BMX bikes in the mud. We pick the clear days most of the time or ride indoors or on the asphalt pump track. It took a little while before we had an opportunity to test the Muc-Off power washer. Actually the first test was on some dirty shoes. Carnaval destroyed two pairs of Vans. They were ready for the trash, or maybe a power washer could save them. The Muc-Off power washer was easy to install. Power and Water, and ready to go in minutes. The pressure it created had no problems getting the dirt off the shoes in seconds and both pairs were saved from the trash.

BMX Racing does take place in bad weather conditions and we've been in situations in the past where we could have used a Muc-Off power washer so we didn't have to clean the bike in the puddle or nearby canal. The bike friendly Muc-Off cleaner is powerfull but does not destroy your sealed bearings or other movable parts. It gets the dirt off. If it doesn't get off right away, spray some Fast Action Bike Cleaner on the section and the job will get done. If this sounds like a big investment, think again.

The Bicycle Pressure Washer + 1L Nano Tech Cleaner will cost you €115,95. Cheaper than two pairs of new shoes. We will, in the future, test the Muc-Off washer some more after some dirt bike sessions, wet MTB trips, or when that BMX bike actually gets dirty.

Germany, it sure was good to be back for the first race in a busy schedule of European Qualifiers! Füssen never disappoints and what a day of racing. Thrills, spills and thunderstorms we saw it all  at skatebikepark. A first place finish and a ticket to Argentina for Tristan Borel and newcomer from Germany Alina Beck. Second place for Belgian rider Didi van Tiggel and current UCI pump Track World Champ Christa von Niederhaeusern with a third for Philipp Schaub who is back from injury and @kmadarasova from Slovakia.
