FATBMX KIDS Goes USA part 6. From Woodward to Las Vegas! By Philip de Jong

Jul 25, 2014

Day 6 in the States. Today we are leaving for Vegas. We first checked out the Megaramp. That ramp is huge. I felt real small when I walked on it but think that one day I will be riding it. There was a big nest underneath the platform of the quarterpipe and I wonder what kind of bird made it. We then had breakfast and said goodbye to Bryce Tyron and his dad who had been doing the pick up runs in Woodward's 'Grumpy' van.

We rode for a little bit and I started saying goodbye to the parc little by little. I cruised the Crater but treated it with respect. I rode the dirt jumps in the back and crashed once on a new section. I did a step-up transfer that I wanted to do so that ended my session on the dirt jumps. The little pump track was next. A few laps there

FATBMX KIDS Goes USA part 5. 12 hours at Woodward! By Philip de Jong

Day five from our California trip went something like this:

We woke up early because I wanted to ride again. My parents told me it was way too early for that so we went outside checking the animals. We saw some deer and rabbits and in the air some eagles. We took some pictures and finally I was allowed to put on my safety gear even though my parents told me we had breakfast first. Fully equipped I was standing in line for breakfast which started at eight o'clock. I took de cornflakes without milk because I couldn't find the milk and we met Mike McGill, one of the original members of the Bones Brigade who was picking up his kids who stayed at Woodward for a week for skateboard camp. I didn't toast my bagle or my bread because I didn't know you are supposed to do that. It tasted alright anyway.

I rode the whole day, drank a lot of Gatorade, took a little swim and ended the day with a goofy bowling session which I won! I entered the gate at 8 in the morning, and left the facility at 8 at night. I was toast but had the best time ever.

Jul 25, 2014

The 2014 UCI BMX World Championships continued on Thursday with the challenge class races for riders ages five through 16. Team USA earned 11 medals on day two of competition, four of which were world titles.

Connor Defrain (La Palma, Calif.) claimed the first gold medal of the day for the United States when he bested the other seven riders in the main event of the 10-year-old boys' competition. The gold medal was an improvement upon the bronze he collected a year ago in the 9-year-old event. To ride off with the top honor, Defrain beat out silver and bronze medalists Lachlan Stevens-McNab (NZL) and Jaymio Brink (NED)

Another world title came for the USA on Thursday when Esja Shriver (Crestline, Calif.) outrode the rest of the 11-year-old girls to cross the line for the gold medal. She bested second- and third-place finishers Maia Colman Savage (NZL) and Mariane Beltrando (FRA)

In the 13-year-old girls' category, Jordan Scott (Henderson, Nev./Redman) upgraded from the silver she won a year ago when she was 12. This year, she dominated the race and beat silver and bronze medalists Jessie Smith (NZL) and Molly McGill (AUS) to the finish line in the final.
