Before the actual event kicks off, Simple Session hosted a best trick jam for the street dudes at a separate spot. 30 minutes, best trick counts. Congrats to AK on the win!

Brendan Powell is a bada** bmx rider that's been hiding out in Utah. We've enlisted this recruit to put down some bangers for you and we're excited to introduce him to you. Watch the chaos now!
The day didn't start off all too bad in Bathurst with cloudy skies and moderate winds that didn't affect practice much. With the predicted weather conditions a decision was made to call it quits after Round 1 of Men and take the fastest times of each athlete to determine the results for Round 3 of the UCI BMX SX World Cup. Since Women had not raced yet, there will not be a result for Women for today's race in Bathurst. Better luck with the weather tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

UCI BMX SUPERCROSS WORLD CUP - 2020
From Texas heat to security guards in Baltimore, this project hasn’t been easy. But I’m stoked it came together the way it did. From tech moves to big scary set ups I think you can tell I went ALL OUT for this one . I’d like to thank Walter Pieringer for filming and being available despite my full time work schedule. - Ben Allen

Friday kicked off early with a press conference which had Sam Willoughby, Lauren Reynolds, Laura Smulders, Kai Sakakibara and Mariana Pajon talk about BMX racing to the local press in Bathurts, a small city three hours West of Sydney, Australia. The predicted rain showed up every now and then during practice and the announced wind made things challenging from the start at the massive BMX track in Bathurst. But with nothing on the line during practice, the riders took it easy in order to stay in one piece to see whatever the decision is that will be made tomorrow morning when the sun comes up. That sun might decide to stay behind the clouds all day as once again rain is on the schedule and more frightening; wind. But today is today, and tomorrow is tomorrow so whenever it is possible to make a start, the racing will happen even though it might be just to get a result in. FATBMX is present so we will inform you about the activities in Bathurst so make sure to check in.
For the moment it doesn't make any sense to show who did well during practice. Both 8 and 5 meter hills were used but no one did a full lap today on the downhill track that has three straights with double lines. It is possible that all racing will take place from the 5 meter hill and will take all three "easy" lines to get some racing in tomorrow. The live feed (on FATBMX) will also keep you posted so tune in for the latest from the UCI BMX SX World Cup.
Australia is in need for some serious rain after the bush fires, but it doesn't help with the planned UCI BMX SX World Cup in Bathurst this weekend.
The riders have all packed up and made their way to Bathurst for Round 3 of the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup Tour 2020. First up Round 1 and Last Chance Qualifier.

A year older and not a bit quieter.... Also in December 2019, the rails, curbs, mini ramp, etc. were dismantled by the approx. 60 riders in the freestyle hall. There was also an innovation this year; for the first time in all these event years, we installed a bunny hop contest from a bank over Christmas packages at the Jam. What the riders really celebrated. For that there are only two words, fun and escalation. It was again a top X-MAS JAM, which we also heard from the feedback from the riders and spectators. Next year, the jam before Christmas, will be 10 years old and then we will let it rip!
The winners of the “X-MAS JAM 2019” are:
1. Zeno Lehmann
2. Adrian Kölz
3. Matthias Hilber
4. Luc Morat
Best Trick: Swar Ismail
Bunnyhop Contest: Alex Eggmann
Rookie of the day: Livio Hugga
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
