Stallion Springs, CA — Every young BMX rider wants to be a pro when they grow up. At Woodward West, young BMX riders have the opportunity to ride, interact, and learn from pro BMX riders and find out everything they ever wanted to know about BMX. Woodward West has confirmed pro BMX riders who will be riding with campers during Summer Session 2006. “Woodward West is heaven. It does not get any better than having all the facilities to ride, starting from ground zero to any level of riding. The vibe at camp keeps me coming back to the point where I get bummed when I don’t get to spend more time at Woodward,” Pro BMX rider Ricardo Laguna said.

The rebeljam is honored to have another great photo art expo aside to the event. Also this year people can witness unfiltered photography of following planned guys: Joe Rich - Sandy Carson - Manu Sanz - Ricky Adam - Ed Docherty - Jeff Zielinski - Chris Pollack - Sergio Layos - Corey Martinez - Jared Souney - Jamie Bestwick - Kay Clauberg - David Ulrich Gonzalo Manera - Hadrien Picard - Georg Oberlechner - Marcel Georgi - Olaf Pignataro - Ryan Guettler - Victor Strasse.  Further there will be another open artist wall with more great stuff.

SE have got some new T-shirts, hats and jerseys out. Five new t-shirts and two new hats are now available. SE will be adding new designs every few months. Also SE retro jerseys (Straight outta da '80-s) are in the works. Out soon.

Keep a lookout on www.SEBIKES.com for ordering info.

Okay BMX-ers, we need your vote again. Jamie Bestwick has been nominated for an Espy award. It's a pretty big deal as Lance Armstrong is the host of the awards that are held on 16 July 2006.

Jamie is up against some serious competition in the form of Ricky Carmichael, Shaun White, Kelly Slater and Jeremy Stenberg in the male action sports category.

The more promotion this award thingy gets for [url=//fatbmx.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=1211]Jamie[/url] among BMX-ers, the better. I just voted for the Brit and would like to see him win this. Can't wait for the speech he'll come up with (Anton aus Tirol?).

If you're down with Jamie (and who isn't), make sure to [url=http://espn.go.com/espy2006/]VOTE HERE[/url].

Vult’s newest dvd finished and available. This DVD actually comes both vids (Aloha, B-Sides) on 1 disc. As a bonus the new packaging is half the weight and 1/4 the size of regular ammary cases. We are planning on the disc to retailing for $12 in the US.
Aloha, 25mins Rich Hirsch, Kevin Porter, Brian Kachinski, Mike Saavedra, Mike O’Donnell and Aaron Nardi go to Hawaii for some fun in the sun. This video documents the crew leading up to the trip, the trip, and the return back to Cali. Lots of good riding, good music, good times, and some nice scenery. This video looks amazing (shot completely with the Panasonic DVX100A), sounds good, has some fun edits, and overall is pretty damn entertaining.
