It's 09:30hr in the morning and we just finished up the Slovenian National BMX Park championships in Osijek, Croatia. Enough Slovenian riders gathered to have a full podium in Men as well as the Women class. Was it early? yes it was. Warm-up started at 8am but the 2022 championship is in the books and points can be added to the names.
Standout in the Park championship was Red Bull sponsored Jaka Remec who showed flip double whips and triple whips before most people get out of bed on a Saturday. The National Championship title was his.
Art this very moment the pro riders have taken over the course. 31 of them will battle for the 2022 Pannonian title. Some of the riders spotted are Declan Brooks, Kieran Reilly, Jose Cedano, Maligno, Jacob Thiem, Ernest Zebolts, Justin Dowell and yes, Jaka Remec will be riding some more today. Who will make it to the 12-men final and will Croatian hero Marin Rantes be on the podium today? We'll keep you informed.

Meaning “giving it all” or “with everything,” the film explores Kevin’s roots, highlighting his high-energy riding at spots throughout Hermosilo, Sonora Mexico, as well as Arizona and California. Leading with a fresh vision for BMX, Kevin and Juani worked together to bring together all of Kevin’s strengths – dirt, park, and street—into one cohesive film, capped with a trick that had been on their radar since riding the San Diego, California spot nearly a year previously.
“I can't thank my friend and BMX brother Juani enough for not only being super motivating throughout
