The BMX street finals proved to be one of the highlights of the second day of the LG Action SPorts championships. It was not a runaway for Daniel Dhers like many had predicted, as he had some stiff competition. In his second run, local boy Morgan Wade threw down a flawless run, using the entire course and including several dangerous high speed transfers.

The Dutch Olympic Committee nominated the following BMX racers for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China: Robert de Wilde, Willy Kanis, Raymond van der Biezen, Rob van den Wildenberg and Martijn Scherpen. The racers need to show form by making a top 32 result at the 2008 UCi BMX World's in China or at one of the UCi World Cups. Hup Holland Hup!

The Mellowpark in Germany was host of the Rebel Jam over the last couple of years. The venue is amazing but they're fighting the city to stay alive. Fingers crossed. Ben Fenner filmed a clip with Gregor Podlesney on the street course in Berlin. 

It's the 12th issue of BMX World together proving that a 100% race magazine can make it and it might have something to do with that big race that is coming up next year; the Olympics. Bob Osborn wrote an article about going to the Olympics that will probably scare you off. People want to go to the Games but with 75% of the tickets being sold to the Chinese (without a possibility to transfer them) and the rest being sold to professional Olympic Package companies all over the world, your chances are slim scoring a ticket for the ultimate 

Once the doors opened to the public at six, the action remained on the street course for BMX prelims. The field was divided into two heats of ten, both extremely competitve. Riders were scored in a two-run, best run counts format. In the first heat, 17-year-old Garrett Reynolds threw down a solid score of 87 in his first run. Second run he proved it was no fluke, matching his first run score. His 87 would hold through the first heat as the high score. When the next ten riders took to the course, Reynolds's score would prove tough to beat, that is, until Daniel Dhers dropped in. With his smooth and powerful style, Dhers linked together banger after banger to post an 88, and finish the day qualified in first. Local boy Morgan Wade qualified in third. His runs were so powerful, that even a fall on a giant gap to rail was barely apparent in his score.

You might not be surprised to read that Daniel Dhers qualified first in the BMX Street Prelims here in Dallas, putting him in his favorite position as he heads into Saturday's Finals event at the LG Action Sports Championships.

Actual Journal Entry: “I went & bought ceramics supplies for my ceramics class. Then I got an oil change. At night, I just worked on both of my bikes in the garage. While I was out there, four guys crept up with guns pointed at me & shut the garage door behind them. Shit! They taped up my hands & feet & mouth. Then they took me inside. They took Brian Foster upstairs to find XXXX’s weed & money. He couldn’t find it. They hit Brian in the head a couple times with the gun.

When Freedom 78 dropped on the floor we heard a big bang. Wow, this must be the biggest issue ever! We opened up the plastic bag and noticed that it had two catalogs inside, one from Sport Import and one from La Finca. This kind of catalog distribution has become popular because you know that if someone subscribes to a magazine, he's a potential customer. Anyway, even with both catalogs removed we have some weight in our hands with the 78th Freedom issue that features Robin Fenlon on the cover. "Flat is Dead" is a T-shirt that must be in the running for T-shirt of the year together with: "That is a dope T-shirt" from T1. Lowcash show the shirt on page 7 where colleage Matti explains why flat is dead. They're both flatland riders in case you did not know.
