Ricardo sent over some photos, results, and some video links from his annual dirt comp in Vegas…
“If you would have told me in 2004 that I was about to begin hosting 10 years of BMX dirt comps, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. From the feedback I received for the 10th annual Ricardo Laguna Dirt Challenge, it was a bigger and better contest than any over the past 10 years. As for Extreme Thing, now on its 18th year, we had a huge turnout, great bands and the best weather we could have asked for. This year we had a solid lineup of riders from all over the world, plus a mix of heavy hitters and great up-and-comers. Some of the runs I saw couldn’t have even been done in video games.
“One new addition to this year’s Ricardo Laguna Dirt Challenge was the High Air Jump that brought me back to the King of Dirt days. When I was working on building this with the Clark County Heavy Equipment team, they couldn’t believe I set up an 18-foot pole on top of an eight-foot lip because they didn’t believe a BMX bike could go that high. The two winners TJ Ellis and Austin Winters ended up maxing out the high bar and splitting the winnings.
“Extreme Thing 2013 was such a huge success, Las Vegas, Clark County Parks & Recreation, the riders and all the attendees can’t wait to see what’s in store for 2014! For more info and photos, visit www.ExtremeThing.com.” — Ricardo
Daniel Wedemeijer aka ‘The Flying Dutchman’ teamed up with Tom Lammerse this summer and made a day trip to five different skateparks all over Holland. Daniel has been a supporter of the Amsterdam based Lifestyle blog/brand since day one so he was more than stoked to film for this exclusive video.
