How long have you been riding for Mongoose now?
-Cameron Wood: This is my first year with Mongoose. It's been a crazy year, but there’s a certain swagger to representing a company with a a deep rooted history in our sport. Everyone was really welcoming and it's a great environment to be in.

Bensink End of Era jam. Niels Bensink organised an awesome “last” jam at the Bensink Gates compound. Niels is moving to Canada with his girlfriend Drew Mechielsen beginning next year and Albert Bensink is ready for his retirement so this could be the last serious jam.

Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic linked to the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) regrets to announce that the last two rounds of the 2020 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup, which were to take place in Rock Hill (USA) on 6 and 7 November, have been cancelled at the request of their organiser. The UCI and the organiser collaborated throughout the process, firstly postponing the two rounds that were initially scheduled for 15 and 16 May 2020, before resorting to taking the difficult decision to cancel them. The UCI shares the disappointment of the BMX Racing community, and acknowledges the efforts made by the organisers and the city of Rock Hill in these difficult circumstances.
Following the cancellation of the Rock Hill rounds, the final rankings of the 2020 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup have been calculated based on the only events raced this season, in Shepparton, Australia

How long have you been riding the frame that you are currently on?
Mitchel Schotman: I'm now riding the new bike for almost two months. The frame is a bit different than the previous one. I think this is one of my favorite bikes I've ever ridden. I like the geometry, it's stiff and I like the colors.

Just prior to the era of being fully clipped in, X Games welcomed Downhill BMX into the scene. The jumps were massive, the invites were stacked and chromoly frames were your best bet for getting through the track unscathed.
It has been a while since I uploaded a video.. But it was a good day to show you guys what I did.
