On February 23rd this years winterjam will take place in Stockholm, Sweden.

The people behind the park, Andy and Tobbe has done a really good job on the park, and if you haven't been there yet you should start planning your trip there right now. The jam will be held at the Capital Bikepark.



Here's also a little video of last years winter jam. If you don't mind listening to some swedish play the video to get a better idea of how it's going to look like.

Michael "Berry" Beran has won de Ride It Winterjam at Riga, Latvia. The Czech made it before Alessandro Barbero and Harry Main. To the left you can see a little video mix of Beran about a year ago. Make sure to see until the end when he tries to do a front flip tail whip.

Take a look at the Mystic, Ryan Smith's new signature frame. The frame weighs in at just 4.9 lbs, will be available in 20.75" and 21" with a 13.6 rear end and a 75 degree head tube angle. The frame is 420 baked, which helps to keep the tubing stiff and lets them use thinner wall tubing while retaining strength. The Down tube is a custom tube they have designed from scratch, slighty overlized to help against denting up in the front end and then rounds back out near the BB JUNCTION to keep it stiff. The Chain stays also are oval to help offer greater tire clearance and help resist against denting. It will be available with removable brake lugs and in flat white. Coming April.

The most of u will probably know by now that Aaron Ross is leaving FBM to move onto other projects. Aaron Ross is now on Sunday Bikes, and plans are already underway for a signature Sunday frame from Aaron. What follows is Jim Cielencki's official press release explaining the new addition to the team.

“The first time I heard about Aaron Ross was from an Empire BMX ad with him doing a barspin bunnyhop over a tennis court net. This blew me away because I remembered doing lines using the tennis nets down the street from my house. I knew how tall they were. Could this guy actually be barspinning a tennis court net? I had to see more.

At the time, Aaron was in the middle of filming for his first Empire video. When his part came out it confirmed how good he was on a bike to me. Not too long after that, I got to meet him at the Vancouver Metro Jam. I remember him doing tricks that were leaning in the direction that I thought riding would eventually be headed. In addition to that, one of the most interesting things that I noticed was how nice he was as a person. That really stuck out in my head. Was it possible to be a totally amazing bike rider while actually being an incredibly humble and nice guy at the same time? Here was the proof.”

The 2008 Red Bull Empire of Dirt date has been set. This year, it's happening a little later in the summer, but everything should be dry and ready to ride by then. The date is July 25-26, 2008, and the location is the same as last year, Newton Abbot, Devon, England. Home place of Kye Forte, the guy that came up with the idea.

Here are some cool videos of the Simpel Session in Estonia.

As the crew says: “Simpel Session 08 is over and it has been such a blast! Big thanks to all the riders, staff and spectators! There was a huge media presence at the event, so hold your breath for a massive coverage from all the magazines, websites and videos. We broadcasted the event live over the web and feedback has been amazing.

Garret Reynolds from USA took home the gold in BMX street and his fellow countryman Gary Young silver. Daniel Dhers from Venezuela came third. Garret Reynolds also won Snickers bmx 180 long jump flying 8.5 meters.”

We are stoked to announce our newest dirt/street/park rider, Pat “Lumpy” Laughlin. Coming out of Bensalem, PA, Pat is able to tear it up on any terrain that comes his way. When not doing shows for Hell on Wheels or the Freecycle teams, Lumpy is usually found in his back yard which is home to some of the biggest dirt jumps on the East Coast.

Pat recently threw a huge benefit jam at his trails to raise money for Stephen Murray, a fellow BMXer who had a career ending injury in 2007. After riding all day Saturday at the benefit, he went on to the Red Bull “Down and Dirty” contest in Asbury Park, NJ. Not only was Pat on the winning team, but he also won the Best Trick award. Pat donated his winnings to the Stephen Murray Fund. Pat will be hitting dirt, park and street contests as well as traveling this year doing shows at events ranging from school shows to NASCAR races. Keep an eye out for this kid in ’08.
