He will face a strong challenge not only from the American pros, but also fellow Brit Wallace who was second in last year's Braun cruZer Tour. Italian Barbero, who won the Pro Park competition at the 2006 Suzuki BMX Masters could be a good outside bet while Kohne, Miller and Mahoney will also be keen to get their hands on a share of the 5,000 EUR first round prize.
The pro part will be on Saturday so they can go all out on Saturday night after the Pro and Bowl comp. The poor ams will have to get up early on Sunday to do their contest. Once they've put their time in they can follow the pro schedule next year.
The Neighborhood Skatepark is the largest hybrid skatepark in the Midwest. Their 25,600 square foot skatepark is located in the middle of the beautiful Jellystone Park Resort, which includes both indoor and outdoor waterparks, a hotel / conference center and lodging ranging from tenting sites to 10 person log villas.

Seems like loads of sponsors are supporting the jam. From Subrosa to UGP, Shadow to Sullen, Odyssey, Lotek, RDGBMX, the Shadow Conspiracy, Vestal, Empire mailorder, 187 and the Little Devil Brand. With all these sponsors kicking in, dressing up on the 20th isn't such a bad idea. There's a big property on the river to camp out and of course a barbeque is in the works.

Sounds like a good time to us.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
