Congrats mang! Peep ride bmx site for more info.

This thing looks like a monster probably 8-9 ft deep I'm so excited.

I think this is going to be some smaller hips and wedges. There is a pretty large flat space between this section and the bowl which has 2 hips carved out in the corners kind of caddie corner from each other so I can imagine that will be the street area. So all and all it looks to be a pretty decent size and a good start, I know a lot of skaters have pushed for this over 10 years so its pretty impressive to see it materialize and the bike community showed up for all the planning stages in good numbers too, so we shouldn't get cut out of the picture or anything. Brecs going to revamp the nascar of bmx track and have some sort of mountain bike dirt course too, I think.

In other news I heard that the property that the bowl in Lafayette sits on has been sold to the university and will get torn down and rebuilt in a new location, who knows maybe they'll go bigger seems to have a good number of people enjoying it.

Just finished watching the "902" video that Beckmeyer (spelled right?) put out, and Little Pats part is friggin awesome! I think Brock Gomez has copies if anyones intrested in getting a copy.

p.s. does anyone have a 21 inch frame that would be interested in selling I cracked my eastern frame pretty good and I'm feeling doubtful about the warranty.

A Sunday in Lake Charles - Bmx Session

Saw this on the myspace and was pretty pumped because THE CHARLIE PATERSON OR IS IT PETERSON I dunno but legendary Lake charles flatland rider is in it. " Its not a el camino its a ranchero!"

So the RIDE site is having a video contest- the winner gets an all-expense paid trip to the SLC Dew Tour and gets to ride in Open qualifying. Lil Broc put together a whopper of a part in a 2 day span. It is posted HERE so take a look at it. Be sure to post some love in the comments because that is one of the ways they decide who wins.
