Hosted by Pat Parnell of NBC Sports, the program features an array of outstanding action and adventure sports events. The next episode features: Red Bull Elevation, the world’s most progressive BMX dirt jumping contest held in Whistler, B.C. Only the sport’s top 40 riders are invited to participate and compete on this one-of-a-kind course designed by veteran rider Jay Miron. 

The KinkBMX demolition derby is over. BMX related teams from: FBM, Coaliton/Hell on Earth/Outlaw boards, Odyssey, S&M, Kink, Redbull, Kronik, Squareone, Team Young, Rockstar Games, Diamondback, Hurley, Woodward, Albes, Ride BMX, Primo and United participated in this car wreckage. Last one standing was FBM's Derrick Girard with Joe Riley in second and Aaron Ross in third. 

Goods BMX helps Defgrip celebrate its one year anniversary with a collaboration shirt only available through goodsbmx.com. The shirt was designed by Harrison Boyce and Rich Hirsch featuring a full front print pattern of the Defgrip and Goods logo, with a diamond or two thrown in there for good measure! The shirts are hand numbered from 1-100 and once they are gone... Thats it!

To pick up the shirt, head over to goodsbmx.com and get ready for an even more amazing second year!

Here's some info regarding the girl event Milkshake Series. As last year, the event will gather girls from everywhere to ride and chill out together in sunny south of France. The dates: 26th-27th of August. This year, the event will take place in Poussan, a friendly little park near Sete. It is supported by TAMTAMshop, etnies, Nikita, Jeevice, trauma and scORP. Also as partners Spade, Sunex, ex-templar (frenchys), twenty, ALK13, bmx up, cream and agoride, and of course Poussan city council and the general council. BMX and skateboard comps are organised as well as some demos of rollerblades, streetboard...

As usual, the comp is merely an excuse to get together and have fun, there is no pressure and no level required, so even if you've just been starting up, you're more than welcome to join the fun. The idea is to support girls in their riding, to keep BMX open to everyone who wants to give it a try. A jam will also be held on Saturday night for both guys and gals, so guys can bring not only their cheerleader pompoms, but also their bike, skateboard... 

– New York, July 27, 2006 – The Dew Action Sports Tour, the pro tour of action sports, today announced the winner of the PlayStation® Trick of the Week Award from the Right Guard Open. Voting began on Monday, July 17, the day after competitions ended. Fans were able to view video clips and vote online at dewactionsportstour.com until Monday, July 24. Fans selected [url=http://us.video.aol.com/video.full.adp?pmmsid=1677763]Keith McElhinney[/url] as the PlayStation® Trick of the Week winner after he performed a front flip flair during BMX Vert prelims, the first front flip flair ever landed. McElhinney finished 16th in prelims, failing to advance to finals.

“I’m so excited, seems like a dream to actually land the trick and then to win,” said Keith McElhinney. “This is amazing. I look at all the other tricks that have won PlayStation® Trick of the Week and I don’t feel worthy. The past week and a half since landing the trick has been a whirlwind.”

Amateurs who are going to the Rebel Jam listen up. The folks at the Rebel Jam already mentioned that they had cool prizes in mind for the Rebel Jam amateur winners in each class and they finally let the cat out of the bag. The first prize winner will receive a wethepeople frame-fork-bar set in limited edition rebeljam colors! Yup, there will only be three sets to win so the wethepeople set will be very exclusive. The lucky winners can choose which model wethepeople frame, fork, handlebar they want to get customized. Sweet or what?!

First want to thank Rick and all the VBMX'er staff that made this a great experience!!! This trip almost didn't happen due to a rare tumor I have in my jaw but was able to shuffle some appointments around to get to the Rock this year. Carolyn and I had our hands full at the last minute to get everything packed and I still needed to build the bikes on Thursday! Our 5 1/2 hour trip with a trailer full of bikes was a tad interesting but made it in for the swap meet, which unfortunately there was not a lot of representation? Set up the canopy (MN Faction) and headed over to watch some motos, the racing is so fast at the Rock!
