BEIJING FEVER

OLYMPIC MANIA!!! Well, I for one am excited about the olympic bmx racing that is only two days away. RideBMX did a little piece on their site recently with interviews with a bunch of industry dudes, including Alan Foster and Robbo. I will summarize by saying that almost everyone thought racing exposure was a great thing for BMX on the whole. I wont bother linking to their site cause it is pretty worthless. The best part of the article definitely was the fact that every picture they used was of racers riding trails (apparently actual race shots would be too boring). Here are some of the best.

I always thought the place Robo is riding in this looked awesome. BO's?
what a rad trick.

Oh, and if you weren't already excited about the race check out the track.

a while back I posted a CAD style image of the track, but this one is from a different angle and gives an even better feel for some of the details.

So SANTA CRUZ lets get together and raise some glasses/bottles while we watch some berm bangin action. TUESDAY! TUESDAY! TUESDAY!
rode watsonville today, real dry, but a great time, almost every line ran. Heath Ledger siting.
oh, in semi-race related news S&M just announced that they are now making CHALLENGER stems again. That will go great with the new DIRTBIKE i wish I had the money for.
