Nathan was up against some really heavy hitters in the Street Finals and did a great job.  It look’s like he just couldn’t put the runs together as well as he did yesterday but he is still the man and we’re proud of him.  Check out Fat Tony’s coverage of all the actions here and his sweet picture of Nathan from yesterday.

Nathan did super well today in X Games BMX Street prelims.  He qualified 2nd over all doing some really big and tech tricks like an over icepick grind, a long hang 5 to 50/50 to 180 out, a huge 360 drop & a big 180 drop over a rail.  Watch all the highlights here and tune in tomorrow at 8pm ET to watch our man in the finals.  After watching everybody else’s runs it looks like it’s going to be really good.

I know, I know.  You want me to stop mentioning school but you need to check out the latest Fall shoes that we’ve been getting in.

Nathan just did his first run in eliminations and was happy with it. He’s getting ready to start his 2nd. You can watch it live here.

We’re really excited for Nathan to be at X Games again this year.  Nathan said he was looking forward to it and was actually training a little this year.  Practice has already begun.  Good luck, Nathan and have fun!  Check the United site, Tunney on ESPN and Dans360 for daily updates about how he is doing.

Check out Maddog riding at System Cycle Supply on the Come Up.  It’s crazy how dialed he is.

Big In Bavaria went down last weekend in Munich, Germany and it was BIG! A 26 ft drop off gap and eight 42 ft jumps made me question if I had enough tricks for this course?! Due to high winds, Thursday’s practice left us staring at the jumps and heading back to the hotel. On Friday qualifying looked like it would get rained out but we got lucky and I managed to qualify 6th! On Sat the weather was looking good but then rain came out of nowhere. Once the sky cleared up, the comp was underway! My first run was okay but I put more on the line for my second run. Wanting to get Gold made me send the bigger trick mid pack in my 3rd run causing me to bubble up and not make it to the end of the jump. But I stayed in one piece and finished with a proud 10th place! Brandon Dosch won the comp and follow by TJ Ellis. Check out more info at FatBMX.com. -Ricardo
