Darryl Tocco takes us back to some good times spent riding and exploring Panama, City, Panama with the squad for this weeks Saturday Selects!
You’re probably most familiar with Leandro Moreira riding dirt, but the dude can shred whatever you put in front of him. After recently building up a new GT Brian Kachinsky Signature Globetrotter frame, Leandro took it for a spin at an indoor park and did a quick bike check as well. A trail boss riding the signature frame of a street legend on some ramps… an all around bike for an all around bad-ass rider.
Tom Dugan is known for treating his audience to epic bicycle motocross entertainment, but when a recent mishap at the Vans BMX Pro Cup meant donning a cast, we figured shooting a promo for Tom's 2018 DUGAN SIGNATURE complete was off the table. Tom really wanted everyone to know how sick his new sig is though, so we told him to meet us at the park and that we'd shoot some footy of him letting everyone know his 21.25"TT complete was LSD and came in a killer Trans Gold etc. etc.
Earlier this week, I met up with the Pusher BMX shop team at the DTC Skatepark for a late night session.

Last day for the only North American stop of the 2017 FISE World Series, but not the least! After a morning filled with enthusiasm and impressive riding from the amateurs, things started to get serious once the pros stepped in: BMX Flat Pro - Final. The pro finals kicked off with BMX Flat, in a filled-up amphitheater that brought up a notch the riders' energy on stage.
We knew the battle for the two first places would be a hard one, with names like Jean-William Prévost and Matthias Dandois as contenders. Prévost, happy to ride in home turf, once again blew our minds with technical, original tricks that are his signature, but very slight mistakes made him unable to beat his rival, Matthias Dandois. Nevertheless, the second place that Prévost reached today gave him
UCI BMX Freestyle Park Finals. One of the most awaited event of the weekend was, of course, the UCI BMX Freestyle Park finals. The windy conditions yesterday played a big part in building a feeling of anticipation, and both crowd and riders were ready for a big day of finals. Mother Nature was trying to shake things off again, bringing winds averaging 23 km/h but the determination of the riders to complete their competition was stronger than the possible doubts in their minds.
Expectations were high for Brandon Loupos, after his win in FISE Budapest. Digging deep for stamina and big tricks, he was certainly putting a lot of pressure on his competitors. Not phased at all by the wind, he gave a great performance for the crowd and judges, lacing together tricks of high amplitude,

Damn what can we say about this Highlight reel... other than we had to cut it back from 20 minutes long. So much crazy stuff went down at the Source Park it was hard to choose what clips made it in! Here is the short highlight reel but keep your eyes open for more highlights dropping soon.
UCI BMX Freestyle World Cup Women Final. Another day of pure sunshine and adrenaline in Edmonton, Alberta for the second day of the FISE World Series Edmonton stop. Even though Mother Nature was a bit on the difficult side today, we did manage to crown our first winner, as the women opened the pro competitions with the UCI BMX Freestyle Park World Cup finals. It’s American Hannah Roberts took the win in today’s event, with her sheer determination to get back on the highest step of the podium after finishing third in the last FISE stop in Budapest. Her solid first run and enormous second run combined really truly in her favor in the eyes of the judges. Her versatility and ability to throw tricks on every feature say a lot about her talent and mostly, her bike control. The
