 The King of New York has been part of NYC BMX history since 1995. Originally KoNY was a contest featuring Flatland, Vert and Park... Over the years the contest format had gone through changes and unfortunately Flatland was dropped. 2010 marks the second year Flatland is back as one of the events featured at KoNY. The new attitude for all KoNY events is to have a great day of riding... |

 Saturday 31.7.2010 started just like another day before. The sun rose up, birds started to sing, temperature was hitting the tropical values and Johny Cook went to walk his dog. Everything was in normal, just in the time when 20 cars or so got to Litomerice downtown and guys with small bikes were petting out of the cars in front of a Jesuit church of Lady Day. Are you asking what was going on? The answer is easy... |

 I’m REALLY pleased about this month’s ROTM, for a many reasons. First, we finally have a female ROTM! About time! Martin, our esteemed editor, passed on Julia’s details to me, and I couldn’t be more pleased… we need more women in Flatland, and BMX as a whole. Come on ladies, be inspired and pick up a bike! Second, Julia is also moving into art/design, and also plays Bass Guitar, which are two BIG passions of mine outside of Flatland. Here are a few words from Julia to wet your appetite: “Never give up if it becomes hard, just try it again and set your own goals. Oh and support more female BMX riders!” |

 Organising and running a competition is a hard thing. So many people to please, expectations to live up to and simply just getting it right. The main thing I have learnt, is do what you can to the best of your capabilities and situation.
Saturday was a tough day. I had a restless night and the morning sky was a gloomy grey prompting texts of despair. The weatherman claiming... |

 I like Magnus´ attitude to life and riding... VERY positive, and he rocks BIG bars! (let´s see the forums light up over that one!)
He´s not afraid to be an individual (when it comes to riding...), which I´m sure many of you can identify with, spending hours in parking lots, dialling that elusive tick or link you´ve been after for what seems forever. But it´s postive attitude that really gets me... |

 I like Renaud’s attitude… quite laid back (ahh, the French!), yet determined to be an individual rider with his own style. He has style, without a doubt… just check his edits for more proof. I’ve been inflicting my very poor French on him whilst collecting the info for this article, and he’s taken it with good humour (apart from when I swore, and he didn’t understand it! So, after a brief hiatus in the ROTM run, ladies and gents, I give you RENAUD LASPEYRES! |

 Hey Markus please let us know some things of you, some standard things! Hello everybody out there. I’m Markus Reich and I’m from Neubrandenburg, Germany. This beautiful city is 100 km in the north of Berlin. I’m 28 years old and I spend more than the half of my life on my bikes, especially on the one I use for Flatland. Finally I’m also a student and I work hard for my last exams. |

 BMX, Sun, Friends, Girls and the Panamanians. This year´s War Jam in Nicoya was able to raise the bar. Not only is the number of riders and visitors growing each year. Also the quality of the event is rising. When I arrived in Nicoya on Saturday evening, the temperatures already had fallen to a pleasant level. I was heading for the "polideportivo" - the site of the event. Some riders were already gathering there and were riding relaxedly in expectation of the upcoming event. |

 I’ve been lucky enough to know Lee for a couple of years now. He was the first real flat rider I’d met and a true inspiration… juggling work, family and riding. He’s not only taught me to ride better, but given me tons of support and energy, and support the scene by judging at comps (BMX BATTLE and GOD SAVE FLATLAND). He has also proven himself to be a damn good bloke and friend. My words don’t do the man justice (sniff… I’m filling up now!), so I’ll let Lee’s words speak for themselves… Enjoy! |
