FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

The day started foggy but that didn't last long. After getting some computer stuff done Andy Zeiss and I drove over to Santa Ana to hook up with Will Stroud who was filming a Levi web clip with Dakota Roche and Morgan Wade. The little park provided ledges, wedges, stairs and rails and both riders were looking for clips to film for the next web clip. No problems with security/cops as people have been laid off which opens the parks to bikes as well. Finally one good thing coming out of that recession.

The world's best action sports stars will be returning to Beijing for the second China Invitational May 8-10, 2009 at the Beijing University of Technology Gymnasium, a 2008 Summer Olympic venue. Part of Alli, the Alliance of Action Sports, the China Invitational, features both skateboard (park and vert) and BMX (vert) competitions. The action sports event will be televised in the United States on NBC and across China on BTV6, the sports channel of Beijing TV as well as the China Sports Program Network. Some of the top BMX athletes in the world are confirmed to compete in China, including four-time BMX Vert Dew Cup champion Jamie Bestwick of England and Chad Kagy of Gilory, Calif. They will join fellow Dew Tour BMX riders for intense competition on the vert ramp.

"We are thrilled to return to Beijing, China for the second consecutive year," said Chris Prybylo, Alli Vice President. "Last year's inaugural event was a huge a success and we're excited to add BMX vert as a judged competition this year.
