How BMX bikes should fit
Here’s a draft page from my book-in-progress, Pro BMX Skills.
It’s amazing how similarly various BMX pros fit their bikes.
The book won’t be done so soon, so we might as well spread the love:

BMX shifter bike!
Our man Chris Powell is too smart for his own good, and here is his latest creation.

Check out “Pro BMX Skills”
The new BMX technique book has a name, and it’s going to be ultra sweet. I just put up a quick page:

If you want to ride safer and faster, you need this book.

BMX racers are the kings of jump manipulation. One of today’s top pros shows us how to “pick up” for a big face.

Mike Kreger is one of the smoothest dirt jumpers (and racers) you’ll ever see. Yesterday we shot some sequences for the BMX book. Here’s Mike pumping a set of double jumps.

Lots of fun stuff:
Going big at the Olympic Training Center
Our man Chris Powell got a chance to ride the new BMX SX track at the Olympic training center in Chula Vista, CA. The track is a close copy of the Bejing track, and it’s HUGE!!! Chris sent a couple photos:
