It's hard to keep up with everything when you're on the road but if you don't get out there, you're missing out on the good stuff too. The comp in Montpellier was another good one simply because the crowd was so awesome. The riders gave it a little extra, the sun was there all weekend so it was hard not to like it. Even the parties turned out decent this year. After the FISE it was off to Paris for a couple of days of shooting pictures with the Mirraco crew. Good times for sure. Thomas showed us amazing spots and just cruising down the city was amazing. We'll get something up on the site next week to give you a bit of an impression of the time spent in Paris. Now it's back at home typing up this news report on a Saturday (missed Friday, sorry guys). It just seems from now on it's non-stop through the summer, something we did not expect with the recession going on. Who cares though. The bike, a bottle of water, the ipod and a riding spot will get us through the day. Here's some BMX news for you:

-Here's a clip of some Australian BMX race talent getting ready for this summer's UCi BMX racing world championships in Adelaide.

-Matt Pingel is bringing the Kickturns back. See photo.

-If you want to relive the 1992 World Championships in Hungary, maybe this event is for you. Chill and ride at the Normafa - Csillebérc in Budapest. Party at the cabins including ravioli showers. Make sure you bring your own music for the party.
