The 10th version of the Nokia Fise will take place in Montpellier, France from 12/16 July 2006. We received some drawings of the street and dirt courses and this year also a spini mini ramp contest will be held (1,70 meter high, 4,50 meter wide and  20 meters long). Vert will be on Sunday. The dirt jumps have always been big at the FISE and this year won't be any different. As always there will be a flatland contest too. Some of the international riders that are on the list to make an appearance are John Heaton, Dave Freimuth, Max Vincent, Mike Miller, Ben Wallace, Matt Fairbairn, Alejandro Caro, Mark Theaker and Josh Nendza.

Meeting Taj Mihelich will be easy in the first two week of July. He will be touring with his band Snake Trap for a little bit so if you live anywhere near MO, AR or TX, you gotta check it out. They're playing with Gorch Fock on the first 4 stops and for the grand finale Taj's band will be joining The Paper Chase at Emo's in Austin. While we're on the Taj subject, check out the subscription special that they've  got going on over at  [url=http://www.cream-bmx.com/index_2.php]Cream BMX[/url] this week.

Here's the Snaketrap tour schedule:

June 19, 2005 - New York, N.Y - The Dew Action Sports Tour, the only multi-sport, season-long tour in action sports, begins its second season June 22-25 with the Panasonic Open at Louisville’s Kentucky Expo Center. The five-city tour also includes stops in Denver, Portland, San Jose and Orlando. More than 260 professional action sports athletes from around the world will return to Louisville to compete for the Dew Cup, awarded at season’s end to the athlete with the highest number of points in the six combined disciplines of skateboarding, BMX, and freestyle motocross.  The Tour’s inaugural season champions include Jamie Bestwick (BMX Vert) and Ryan Guettler (BMX Park and BMX Dirt.

The Panasonic Open will host 260 professional action sports athletes, the largest field of athletes in Tour history, which includes 110 top-name pros who have pre-qualified, plus 150 athletes who have signed up for the open qualifier competitions.

The next CarolinaBMX.com contest coming up, that Justin Holt is putting on, is the Sleepy Little Town Pro/Am contest. Saturday July 1st 2006 at the badass YMCA Skatepark in China Grove, NC which is right outside of Saulisbury. Signup starts at 11am.

Eastern's Mike Corley is helping Justin get this one rolling. He lives like a mile from the park. The YMCA says they can have full run of the park, and a Friday night practice session is in full effect until midnight (7pm-12pm). Tons of prizes for intermediate and cash purse for pros. It will be a daytime competition and the Doobie Brothers might show up, might not.

LOS ANGELES – ESPN’s X Games announces the first wave of athletes who have been invited to compete at X Games 12, to be held in Los Angeles August 3-6, 2006. All athletes receiving invitations to compete at X Games 12 are chosen by a sport-specific selection committee. Criteria and timing of invitations varies by sport and discipline, as it is based on the state and event schedules of that particular sport. The only exception is each gold medalist from X Games 11 (2005) receives an automatic invitation to compete. Information on each committee and its sport’s invitation process can be found on each X Games sport organizer website. 

Mike Aitken & Matt Berenger are headed up again for the Street Justice VI contest in Canada as well as Rob - O & Brian Foster. 1664-Bernie had Nate Wessel designing the Course and his right hand man Ryan Corrigan flying up to build this sucker so you know the course is going to be insane. Bernie has already seen plans on one crazy ramp, so who knows what else these guys are gonna do with all this wood & pneumatic nail guns!

New designed street course at the Suzuki BMXMasters Like every year there will be a new street course with all the fun stuff for example spine, wall, ledge etc. It will be a mixture of real street and transitioned obstacles.
Lounge for everybody There will be no backstage areas at the Suzuki BMXMasters. So all visitors and riders can hang out and exchange together. We will arrange a big lounge at the Cologne Jugendpark with cool seats and delicious catering. Chill-out and be together!
