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!

Just came across this fid and I had to post it. It’s been too long ago I meet my friend Felipe. I even miss the guy sometimes…… But it also made me wondering about all the fixed gear shit thats going around (specially here in Holland). This guy is by far the fastest messenger on the planet (no joke) and he sticks by riding freewheel with two perfectly working brakes.

Don’t get me wrong I like riding fixed, but on the job I would choose two brakes and freewheel now a days. And of course a helmet! But Felipe is excused because he is immortal, for real! Hope to see you soon bro, love ya!

p.s. For example this guy won the first backward circle competition during the worlds in Zurich on a freewheel bike!

Damn Kym!!!

And is she challenging Felipe (5:39)?
