Thank you China. What an excellent way to kick off the 2023 race for the rainbow stripes! The monster of a @velosolutions Pump Track in Deqing played host and 425m in total length of track set the scene for the showdown today. In the Men's category, local rider Chen Jiayang took the winners ticket to Argentina with a time of 45.71 against Japan's Tetsuya Furuno. Tesuya's final lap time came in at 46.64 sec. It was a fierce battle between the two riders all day long, but that number 1 belonged to Chen after a very long day of racing.
In the Women's category the trip to Neuquen in November belonged to Zhao Wanting. She was the fastest qualifier and consistently kept that lead right through to the end to take the top step on the podium.

James "Jimmah" Pease's part is proof dude is Built Different... it even earned him the video opener. You might need to take a smoko after watching this one.
Southern California is usually perceived as the land of sun and surfing, and a prime winter getaway for those living in less hospitable climates. With record rainfall and the resulting flooding all over California during the last few months, there were periods of time that were probably the least ideal (ever?) to go ride some of the bountiful concrete gems located there.
Mimo Seedler is the reigning Unicycle World Champion, but did you know, that he also kills it on two wheel? Must be easy when you're used to one, eh?
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
