A stacked field lined up for the Swiss Qualifier @pumptrack2520 with some exceptional racing all day long. In the Women's category French newcomer Lea Brindjonc took the win in a lighting fast time of 18.870 against 2019 World Champ Christa von Niederhaeusern's 18.890 with a third place for current World Champion Aiko Gommers.
In the Men's category it was the second win for France's Thibault Dupont after his win in Spain earlier this year. Leaving that ticket to Santiago, Chile for second placed Tristan Borel and a third place for Anaia Istil. All three riders breaking the 17 second mark in excellent form.
Men's Result:
1. Thibault Dupont

I've known Andy Brown for well over 30 years now. As a kid many of us looked up to him and the crew he rode with as the older riders coming out of the London area, leading the way.
Team Verde man-of-action Matt Cordova goes in on a concrete crushing crusade across the Western US.
Tommy Dugan coming through clutch with the 350 bicycle MOTO X vibes on this machine. Hear all about it from the dude himself and make a mental note that Mr. Dugan has a new project in the works (hence the hair and makeup). Tommy is SWELL and so is his rig.
20th Anniversary Jam in memory of a Hastings, UK legend.
Beim Bank Jam geht es traditionell nicht gerade jugendfrei zur Sache. Hier ist das Video von den Partyeskapaden der 2021er Auflage am Berliner Südstern. YEWW!
If there was an award for the best BMX event of 2022, the CPH Street Jam by Gade BMX would definitely be a hot contender!
2022's Don Of The Streets continued the wildness in The Big Apple, with hundreds of riders, hours of riding, all kinds of madness, and a multitude of spots, all with that NYC flavor. Despite ambulances coming out for injuries at 3 spots, and police ejecting everyone from the two others, the quality of riding more than made up for the shorter than desired quantity of time at each location. Watch the insanity yourself– MLK spot alone never saw so many wild moves go down in its entire history, and all in the span of less than an hour. Incredible.
Don Of The Streets hit hard once again, this time with a pre-jam in Brookyn to kick the weekend off. Enjoy some RAW Clips action featuring the Long Distance Pole jam, Highest Pillar Fakie, and the wild Car Rainbow Rail setup, with Broc Raiford, Brett Silva, Devon Smillie, NYC natives Markus Hoyte and Overdose Ralph, and more.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
