The project “Local Support” helps to improve the bike conditions in Austria. That includes the suitable setting of the spots, certain challenges, workshops and the support of events. The next event is really outstanding: the Teamchallenge on the 23.6.2007. On the occasion of the opening of the bike hall “Secret Project” in Brunn am Gebirge the Austrian Freestyle Team, which includes the hero of the BMX scene Senad Grosic, invites to the “Local Support Teamchallenge” on Saturday the 23rd June 2007. BMX spots from all over Austria are called upon to send teams, each with 3 riders, to the BMX street parcours in the new hall near Vienna. Eleven obstacles on 850 m² provide enough possibilities for the BMX riders to show their full potential and to convince with various tricks. The performances are judged by the hosts themselves. Senad Grosic and his Austrian Freestyle Team are looking forward to see crazy Austrian action. The reason why: the winners receive a brand new obstacle for their spot.

Waterford Oaks, Michigan - If there's a title to be sorted out, you can bet that Factory Formula / Monster Energy / Fly Racing's Donny Robinson will probably take it. He grabbed just about all of them in '06 and now he has made history by taking the first ever Elite Men's National Championship title. With the Olympics approaching, this title is ever important and is the first step towards every BMX athlete's Olympic dreams. Donny made the trip to Michigan and was feeling good about his chances. In the main, dR was stuck in lane 8 and Matt Pohlkamp pretty much shut down every pass attempt Donny threw at him. With a move reminiscent of last year's NBL Grands, he passed Matt through the Pro section to take the lead and the win. The video is posted HERE. Also make sure to check out the Formula Rider Journal to hear what dR has to say about his big win in his own words. Click HERE to check out dR's journal entry.
