Daniel Wedemeijer made the dirt finals but got hurt and gave his spot to Simon Moratz. Jules van Gijsel missed out on on finals even though he did a frontflip on the last set which was a challenge between Tom van den Bogaard, Daniel Wedemeijer and Jules. They all pulled one during qualifying. #keepitfun

As far as I recall, I first interacted with Scot at the Yamaha Gold Cup qualifier in San Diego. I was 13. To imagine that he was only 16 and running that thing at the time is amazing. He always went by the monikor "the OM (Old Man)" I believe as a marketing tool to get parents, sponsors and business partners to think he was more mature than he was, and he grew a beard as soon as he could... Most of us had no idea how old he was. For him to pull off what he did between the ages of 13 and 30 is amazing.
There has been much argument over the last few years as to who "created" BMX. Our friend in Europe Gerrit Does has images of bicycle races with number plates on city bikes over jumps and berms. But one guy started putting on races regularly in SoCal
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
