P.S: Oh, and one of the best moments this year (check it at the end of the vid )

Yo! The guys from ffwdbmx (Mike King) just sent us over this new clip. If you have been following the recent posts of ffwdbmx here on soulbmx you may have noticed that ffwdbmx has quite a few clips up. Mike is doing a good job and we are psyched he keeps the vids flowing through our inbox. Here some words from the editor in chief about the short trip to Berlin and Cologne:

“every year we fly from england to the bmx masters in cologne, but this year, especially after hearing the threats of mellow park being torn down, we  decided to stay there for a few days, and enjoy europes best skatepark while we still had the chance. Ollie, Sam, James, Thomas, Josh and myself got to the airport friday evening, and chilled all night untill our filght early morning saturday.
We arrived in sunny berlin early morning, and decided a few hours kip was a sensible idea, however, the excitement got the better of us, and after building our bikes up in record time, we took to the park despite having absolutely no sleep at all. It didnt take long for us to retreat, myself and Thomas both got punctures in our first runs, so we hit the sack for a few hours, waking up at 6 that evening to torrential rain, so we resorted to alcohol…

The next four days we were graced with sunshine, and rode the park all day, jumped in the river to cool off, a few games of ping pong and table tennis, and a couple of beers to wind down with a group of awesome people. We also hit up another park we’d heard about, a wooden park a few miles down the road in the middle of the nowhere, surrounded by trees, and with no locals in sight, we enjoyed the park to ourselves, james and sean both killed it as you will see in the edit.

Wednesday we packed up and flew to cologne, it had been an awesome few days in berlin, and despite thomas’ gnarly slam resulting in a bruised tail bone and swollen butt, we were all pretty sad to leave.
when we arrived in cologne the sun was shining, there was not a cloud in sight and everyone was getting physched, however, this wouldnt last long.. Friday, saturday and sunday cologne was haunted by that big grey rain cloud, which continued to tease us, between outbreaks of heavy rain, allowing the park to dry, and then as soon as we were just about ready to go ahead and continue the contest, the heavens would open again. Spine mini went straight to finals and with the jumps being under the bridge, dirt ran successfully and vert was just about squeezed in too.
but the majority of us were left empty handed with pro park being completely cancelled along with the 30 remaining amateur riders who were yet to take their runs.

Luckily, we werent flying home untill Tuesday, so we had all day Monday to enjoy a reasonably empty course, clock some footy and explore the town.
all in all, despite the rain, the trip was awesome, it would have been great to have rode the contest, but oh well, we got to enjoy the things that bmx is really about, travelling to a new place with your best friends, riding your bike in the sunshine, having a few beers and spending 10 days straight with a smile on your face.”

Well, sound pretty good. Nuff said, watch the clip!!

Yo. Just got back from Cologne and to say the least: It was damn emotional. I don´t mean the weather and the Comps (they we´re amazing as always and I am sure the blogs and webzines of the BMX World will have all the Highlights for you!) but the Haro Freestyle show!

People out there who know their BMX History will know the names like Bob Haro, Matt Hofmann, Brian Blyther, Ron Wilkerson and Dave Nourie.  And these names in this combination can only mean one thing: Haro Freestyle Show!

Well, the original Haro Freestyle team showed up and pulled an amazing 80ies Freestyle Show.  Ron Wilkerson gave the “Drop in” is real meaning back by going wild on the quarter and getting up after every slam - Big up, Ron! Also Blyther went big and Bob Haro was there as special guest.

Enough words, Dominik (woozybmx.com) filmed this clip of one of the most amazing moments to be witnessed in BMX.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T to the Guys who paved the way for everybody else! Watch this one and bow down!
