In the worldwide BMX flatland scene it is common to see riders with similar styles and tricks. Every so often a trendy style will come along and result in copycat riders. Ultimately, being original or having your own style becomes one of the top priorities of most riders.
It's almost a 3-DAY weekend, but before we blow out of here, have a look ? at all the action that popped off at The Building this week! BTM XLs (in new 20.6 and 20.8 TT lengths) make their way through the shop.
"I consider this video a recollection of souvenirs from 6 months of filming across Europe with the best people and I hope that you’ll enjoy the video as much as we enjoyed filming it. Thank you so much to everyone for providing me with a place to crash in every city I ended up going to. Thank you to everyone involved in this project. You know who you are, and I do too! Thank you Wethepeople, Eclat, Traffic, Le Comptoir Bike Shop, and DIY Clothing for keeping me rolling. Forever grateful!!" - Robin Bourhis
I spent a chilly Saturday back in March with Rick Moliterno and the boys at Standard Byke Company. I wanted an inside view to some of the inner workings of an American made bmx company.
With a high level racing on the Velosolutions Pump Track setting the tone for the day and with more than 65 riders registered riders, and some heavy hitters on the start line, the racing was intense with the like of @alecbobster, @rezende500, @pedroburns and @brunolavagninomtb leaving everything on the track to fight for the 4 spots in the Men’s category. But it was the current World no 2 @alecbobster that took the top place on the podium, his fastest time of the day coming in at 23.799 secs in his semi-final run. 2nd place went to @brunolavagninomtb with a 3rd place for @sebamendez154
In the Women’s category, after some great and exciting riding, it was local and legend of a rider @reny_urrutia that took home the ticket to Argentina, with a second for Isidora Garcia and a 3rd place
