When Mike Gray set out to design a crankset, he needed something that was strong enough for roof drops yet refined for the most tech grind and manual combos in the game.
It's hard to find a more motivated rider than Jean-William Prevost. Flatland riders in general are the ones putting in the most time on their bike. Riding has become their religion and the urge to go to church (their flatland spot) is there constantly. The creative mind is used to come up with tricks that have never been done before that fits their style. Dub is a master in it. Last call for Dub right here......
Last flight you took?
Jean-William Prevost: I went to Florida and came right back around mid-March when things were getting out of whack.
Last nice dinner you had?
Jean-William Prevost: Not so healthy.
Last flat tire you got?
Jean-William Prevost: 2 days ago popped a tubolito, rimstrip had shifted ://///
Last Netflix series you watched?
Jean-William Prevost: Never ever watch series.
Last contest you entered?
Jean-William Prevost: TORONTO INTL BIKE SHOW
Name: Joris Harmsen
Sponsors: Meybo, WLM Design, BOX Components, Tioga, Shimano, Pro Gate, KNWU, Nederlandse loterij, HT Components, Flow Sleeping
Mechanic: Willie Meijer
How is the Meybo frame treating you so far?
Joris Harmsen: Really good, the fixed rear end makes it a lot stiffer and a lot easier to change gears. And it looks good too.
How do you recognize your bike from the bikes of the other team members when you're 10 meters away?
FIRST MARKS | Schneestern | Eberswalde with Tom vd Bogaard & Paul Thoelen by Schneestern GmbH & Co.
@paulthoelen and @tomvdbogaard77 putting down some first marks at Eberswalde. Our freshly stroked bowl guarantees for some smooth lines and good airtime. No fancy decorations, this is pure joy.
Difficulty, originality, style, variety and execution. This combo from Varo got it all covered up. Amazing!
As you may or may not already know, The Village Skatepark recently shut its doors to make room for a whole new ramp layout! I popped in to check how the progress was going on the building and well, didn't quite expect to walk into this madness!
PAULTJE PILS. We've almost taken on Paul Thoelen as a Dutchman. He's here way too often to be considered 100% German. In fact, when he's home, he lives half an hour from the border and boy-o-boy we would love for him to join the Dutch family. But BMX family is close enough to continue with the good times with Paul, his brother Max and his parents. Paul is that rider that goes higher than 95% of the riders at the contest and makes everything look good. A pleasure to watch. Last call for alcohol? Don't forget to mention that to Paultje Pils.
Last package you received from a sponsor?
Paul Thoelen: 3 days ago. Love you Vans!
Last time you went to the gym?
Paul Thoelen: I actually had a full week of training last week haha. Usually I’m not really into gyms.
Last advice you got from a good friend?
Paul Thoelen: To go to bed after falling asleep at the bonfire.
Last contest you entered?
Paul Thoelen: Red Bull Uncontained in November last year.
Last contest you won?

An afternoon in the Skatepark, in Georgensgmünd.
