Here in the UK, we have this saying “Every Dog has his day”, well…Jean William Prevost had a whole year and deservedly won a lot of contests, awards (Nora Cup, FM) but his achievements go beyond that with his work for inside the flatland industry with Far East and IGI. This year at Bike Days I caught up with the man to talk about how his year unfolded, we discuss everything from winter training, winning contests, motivation, helping bring on other riders, video parts, Flatland in the Olympics and while lot. Years of hard work to get to this level. You definitely want to grab a cuppa or whatever you do. Get the headphones and enjoy this Jean William Prevost podcast!
Frank Lukas – Lines
Frank Lukas – Lines from Neuland on Vimeo.
If you watch one video today, make it this amazing production where Frank Lucas teams up with Pete Schilling & Niklas Hill to document his journey was a pro rider.
“At the peak of his career, Frank Lukas was one of Germany’s most known and successful BMX pro riders. Looking back, he collected heaps of memories and worked his way up to sponsoring deals with big brands such as Carhartt WIP at a really young age.
Now, years later, we’re telling his story. A story about success, struggles, family and friends.
This film is a self-funded project and we used it as a creative playground. Thank you for watching.”

Brett Downs – The Old Guy
“Over the last few years I have come to realize I’m no longer just another BMX guy. I mean, I still ride BMX all the time but I’m not one of the guys. I’m the old BMX guy. Seems there are more and more of us these days. Some got off the bike for a number of years and decided to get back on. Some, like me, have been riding the whole time. It’s really an interesting place to be and I can’t help feel like something is familiar about it.”
Unintentionally a bit of an old guy theme running today with firstly the Bill Neumann post and now this piece by Brett Downs on being the Old BMX guy. Head over to his blog to check this one..
