The official 2025 BMX Freestyle South African Championships are set to take place at the Park Lines BMX Tournament on Saturday 24 May. Presented by LW Mag and Dragon Energy in association with Garmin, Balwin Properties, Fox and Mongoose. BMX Freestyle riders from all over the country will gather to compete for the title of South African BMX Freestyle champion. The action-packed event will showcase creativity and skill as riders perform tricks and stunts in their battle to win their share of the prize money and to see who will be crowned event champions.
Park Lines will take place at the newly built SkyLab Skatepark at the Jozi-X Adventure Park in Bryanston, Johannesburg. Invited riders from around South Africa will compete in the Pro Division, and the event will afford up-and-coming riders the opportunity to compete in the Amateur Division.
The park will offer a range of obstacles for riders to make use of during their runs. Competitors will go head-to-head in qualifying heats where judges will take use-of-park, variation, style, tricks and amplitude into account when making their selection of riders advancing into the Finals. Pro riders will be competing for their share of the Cash Prize Purse, a Garmin Instinct 3 Smartwatch, along with other prizes from the official event partners.

First, I would like to thank you for your support of me and my company over the years. From humble beginnings as a teenager, I started as a rider and designer and created Haro Bikes. After Haro Bikes, I continued to participate in BMX through Olympic collaborations with Nike in 2008 and 2012, the London Olympics in 2012, marquee events with Red Bull, and collaborations with some of the most iconic brands in sport, like Vans, Redline, BMX Action, Oakley, SE Bikes, JT Racing, Honda, Yamaha, Ducati, and many more.
My passion for BMX has never wavered, and I’m proud to introduce my new BMX brand, IKONIX. While my roots are in the ’70s and ’80s, as a contemporary designer, I wanted to create something new and innovative. The IKONIX FS1 is not a re-pop of past designs—it’s a look forward. It’s fresh, modern, rideable, performance-focused and loaded with details.
My vision for IKONIX is to build a new BMX brand that is steeped in my history and design ethos: high in quality and limited in numbers.
The FS1 represents the first of many exceptional products I plan to offer. I hope you can join me as
Ben Crockett, former BMX Plus editor and lifelong rider, just released a gritty debut novel rooted in the spirit of mid-90s BMX culture and LA street life. Set in 1994 Los Angeles, the story follows a crew of kids who escape the chaos above by riding through the city's underground washaways — until rival street crews and something eerie lurking below turn their summer into a fight for survival. It’s The Goonies meets Mid90s, with real LA grit and a sharp edge only someone who lived it could write.
Ben spent over two decades as a writer and photographer immersed in riding, exploring, and storytelling. His debut brings that raw authenticity to the page.
Regardless of size, every city has its mysteries. In 1994, Los Angeles has more than 22,000 miles of maintained roads and freeways, a wall of civil engineering, rushing west from the deserts and spilling over into the Pacific. Mapped down to the smallest alley, it’s hard to believe it has any secrets left, but under its bustling streets, a dark labyrinth remains; thousands of miles of subterranean wash ways, carved from the landscape before the city itself, and long forgotten.
For one brave, yet unlikely group of friends, the tunnels are a source of mischief and adventure, but they are about to find out what happens when their conflicts above, clash with the inexplicable below. The underground maze they had mastered was their fortress against the outside world, but where will they run when they find out they aren’t alone in the darkness?
I’m hyped to announce there’s gonna be a Flatland Jam right here in my hometown of Hammond on the same day as the world premiere of my documentary, The Road Home!
We’re throwing down an all-day session jam with riders coming in from all over—no official contest, just straight-up riding, good vibes, and community. I’ll be handing out $1,000 in Flatland Fuel gift cardsand giving out 10 awards for riders who kill it in different categories throughout the day.
I’ve already talked to a bunch of you behind the scenes, and I’m seriously stoked that so many of you are making the trip.
But the main event… That’s happening that night—the world premiere of my documentary “The Road Home” at the Columbia Theatre. This film is my life’s story, and nothing would mean more than packing the house with all of you who’ve been a part of this journey. Let’s make history and sell out the theater for the first time ever.
Save the date: September 20th. Let’s ride, connect, and celebrate together right here in Hammond. I can’t wait to see you all.
More info coming soon on close hotels, The after party, and how to reserve your seat in the theater.
