All the info you need is on the flier, but this one should be a good time! Helm Trails Jam, May 27th, Helmond, Holland – The de Jong brothers always know how to throw a jam, no worries about that…

Jean-Renaud sent us all the information for one of the best, most laid-back yet shreddin’ times on the European BMX Calendar, namely Bowl To Be A Trail. This is where the locals from Saintes in the SW of France take their 30-year-old traditional snakerun bowl concrete skatepark and adapt it with extra dirt lines into and out of the bowls and hips – it’s a unique spot and the times are always good – they always put on live music as well. Here’s the info…

David Leader from Pennsylvania just finished up this camouflage paint job on his personal Tech2 bike – kinda like a homage to Mark Mulville‘s old Deluxe bike from 2009. Looking pretty good…

Check this out! Deluxe user Ryan Shrake got himself a new license plate for his car – all good…

Rich Hoppe and the guys at Fort Wayne in Indiana are putting in work on the trails there – following a ton of rain recently, the whole place will be dialled in time for the Deluxe video premiere jam on June 2nd. More info on this event coming your way soon (watch this space) and for more photos, see here

Centre set entry coming along…

The right side will be smooth as butter…

View from the top… this place is gonna be GROOMED in time for the jam…

Mother Nature peed on another British event recently, but the guys at X-Fest made the most of it: this was the first contest that Max helped build the jumps for, and here’s a quick edit of what went down. Thanks to Max and co, these jumps were not small… had the sun shone, this would have been a rad time.

Only yesterday we had Greg flowing lines around a concrete park in Belgium, today we have him straight jumping an indoor jumpbox with a bunch of variations. Video by Sig Cools.

Greg just sent us this video of him and Sig Cools flowing round one of the finer concrete parks near his home in Belgium – enjoy…
