How do you like the looks of your current bike?
Rachel Mydock: Personally, I really enjoy the look of my bike this year! The Remix wheels are one of the best looking wheels out there and pretty much are going to look great with anything! I have always wanted to have a chrome frame, so it was super cool that I was able to ride a chrome Rift frame from Tangent this year.

Is it a challenge each year to get a good racing bike together for the new season?

Four years worth of filming across the South-West of England came together for a project that was conceived from nothing more than a joke between two friends who were, at the time, taking a break from filming a suicide-no-hander clip at the bottom of a four stair. “We might as well make a DvD at this rate,” one of them laughed, as he picked the ends of his worn grips. “We’ve stacked enough clips for one, I tell you that!”
“Why don’t we then?” suggested the other..
“That's a mad idea, lad… What would we even call it?”
“Um, I don’t know. The Taunton ‘something’, I guess.”

Without a doubt the people at Papendal are a professional bunch. When they called for a press conference and we received the invite, it was time to get up early on the Sunday and head towards Arnhem for the showdown. At 9am, the big room at Hotel Papendal was filled with interested people. A wild guesstimate would say 70 people showed up indicating that it was time for BMX fans to come together after not much happening over the past 5 months. People from the city, the fastest BMX Racers from the Netherlands and the organizing committee of the 2021 UCI World Champs to be held at Papendal, explained the importance of the event and the struggles that Covid-19 is bringing in getting the job done.
