Whilst I have been off work injured, I have naturally had a lot of free time to kill. It’s been a good time to watch a lot of old videos, and came across this ESPN broadcast that focusses on the rivalry between Andrew Faris and Trevor Meyer at the New York B3 contest in 1997!

Takahiro Ikeda vs Takuya Higa – Shibuya 2016 Street Games

Leon Vignjević sent in a nice update from the Dalmatian Warriors contest in Baška Voda, Croatia. Congratulations to Martin Drazil winning the Pro Class, and Adam Pekar taking the win in Master class!
Here’s what Leon had to say:
“We had Master and Pro class, 2 days of battles… all the riders enjoyed summer and nature in Baška Voda, they got free rooms and free food plus prize money in both class. Both days we had afterparties and concert, 2 DJs who played music all day. It was soo good even all riders tell that this was best contest in their life 🙂
If you missed it, be sure you come next year when we plan even bigger contest.”

Repo: iBMXff World Championships NASS

Like everyone when the iBMXff World Championships were announced a few months back, I thought “Where the hell is Flatland?”, there were various trains of thoughts from most of the flatland community, but it seemed summed up with “it’s not the worlds without flatland”, emails went back and forth. If I am being honest, I didn’t think Flatland would be included with budgets and all….
Takahiro Ikeda, Xft no handed straddle time machine on his way to a huge second place.
