First of all I want to congratulate him with the birth of his second son. And knowing him he’s probably called Junior II

But as you know Vincent and myself were at the UCI BMX Supercross World cup at Papendal this weekend. And damn that shit is so cool. Those guys and girls were flying.

But afterwards there was a party and because we like a beer every now and then, we went there. And although we didn’t know what to expect, we said to each other, if only we meet one of the Colombian guys our evening would be great. Why a Colombian you might ask…. Well here comes Felipe back again. You should know he was the National Colombian BMX champion (for a couple of times I believe) back in the days before he moved to the US. So naturaly we were cheering for the Colombians during the race (and the Dutch of course).
We went there and met a couple of great guys and girls like Ivo van der Putten, Bas de Bever and Manon Valentino (damn she is so cute with here dreadlocks). And a lot of local hero’s like Woeste Willem, no Facebook page but I found a clip. But still no Colombians that is until we saw a table in the back with some ‘South American’ looking guys. We went to them and asked if they know the Colombians. And yes they were the Colombians. We started a conversation (not completly sober) and there was one realy nice guy, Carlos Oquendo! We had a really nice conversation with the guy. And of course we talked about Felipe and according to Vince Carlos knew him, he said Felipe was a great rider but they never rode together. So it was great meeting him. *picture*

And to you my friend (Felipe) I hope everything is great for you and your new born son and that we meet soon! And don’t say, who is that guy in the picture on the left, it’s still me but without dreadlocks.

And to complete this post a couple of clips from the helmet of Carlos Oquendo, thanks buddy!

And he also rides downhil!

I’m on my bike to see the World Cup BMX race at Papendal (my backyard). And it’s probably gonna be more spectacular then this movie.

What kind of SICK person do you have to be to have such a statue in your front garden?

Found on The Streets are Calling.

Since FUCCIT once was a bike polo club, and FBM is one of my favorite bmx companies, I’ll show you the new Ballista bike by FBM. It’s a polo specific complete bike, and you can find all the info about parts etc on the FBM blog.

Found on “All Hail the Black Market”.

So I got this e-mail tonight from Jihn;

Are you a gay bicycle polo club,if so would you like to participate in 2nd annual gpl tournament see gaypolo.com

First I thought they where joking but (with a professional interest) I checked the site. And damn they are for real!
Don’t get me wrong I got a sister who’s a lesbian. But didn’t they check our site? Because they must have missed our bike porn collection completely.

So if your gay and like horses you could go and visit them:

APRIL 2011
1st – 2nd: International Gay Polo Tournament – “The Senator’s Cup” @ Wellington, FL

But I personaly prefer some bike porn..

And for all you guys, there is of course a gallery!

You might have seen Thomas Ruissen’s first edit I posted a while ago, and right now he has a new edit out! Solid bmxing and a great showing of all the great street spots Arnhem has to offer.

So when is the rest of Holland coming to ride in Arnhem?

Great news!
The UCI BMX Supercross is coming to Arnhem! A while ago I posted about the fixed gear mountain bike ride Mitch and I did with our sponsor Wouter from Brainwash. We toured a bit around on Papendal to ride the Olympic BMX start hill and see what else we could find. We found out that they were building a brand new BMX race course on Papendal, and now it seems the UCI BMX Supercross circus is coming to town! May 27th and 28th 2011 the top BMX riders from all over the world will be here in Arnhem, so guess who will sitting in the audience!

Info found on the UCI website and the KNWU website.
