Today we got a mail from a dude named Brian Gross. He told us Discovery Channel is going to broadcast a new show named "Last One Standing" featuring Jason Bennett, Florida's 2006 Pro State Series BMX Champion. The new series, Last One Standing, features six athletes – three American and three British – immersed in the most remote tribes in the world, where they live alongside and train with indigenous tribesmen as they prepare to represent their host tribe in raw and intense competition. From Zulu stick fighting in South Africa to an arduous foot race in the Mexican mountains - wearing only handmade sandals - these men push their physical and mental limits to see who really is the last one standing. Last One Standing premieres Thursday, October 4, at 9 PM ET/PT.
A total of 88 BMX racers from around the world congregated in Salt Lake City at the Toyota Challenge for the first of two days of intense BMX racing action. The Friday of the Toyota Challenge, an official time trial was held and racers gave it their all around the track, one by one, to see who was fastest. The top 64 racers will advance to the Olympic Qualifying race on Saturday.
USA Olympic hopeful and time trial specialist Mike Day (USA) proved once again that he is the fastest man on the track and claimed top spot on the 88-man roster. Following Day was Robert DeWilde (NED) and Manuel DeVecchi (ITA) in respectable second and third positions. These three athletes will go into the pro race as the crème de la crème and the ones to beat on Saturday.

If you are looking to do some more advanced tricks, (i.e. barspins, suicides) try putting your seatpost a little higher so you can grab it with your knees, I see alot of riders who keep the seat really low, and that can be hard to grab the seat. Also, move the seat forward in the rails, this is equally important and helps a lot. It may feel funny to ride at first but it should help if your'e trying to get your riding to the next level.
