-When you organize an event you just hope that nothing bad happens and noone gets hurt. Reality is that people will go mental and hurt themselves trying to push their envelope. It is good to have qualified people around who know what they're doing when someone breaks a leg and is screaming from pain. Trish Bare Grounds is a woman who is qualified and into BMX. If you've got some time now, go read that interview.

Chris for instance has known Mat Hoffman for 25 years, worked at Hoffman bikes and worked at plenty X-Games events. Now he's doing the custome chopper thing. Read about it here.


-The Roof BMX Halle in Berlin is open again. Check the site before you go. Opening times are irregular.
