L.E.S. – in mess

Posted on August 12, 2012 by Hout

Zvláštní je ten letošní rok lesní. Na rovinu, les leží ladem, nejezdí se a jezdit nebude. Kudr je kdo ví kde, Dušan sádru na ruce, Holmes do toho sám nepůjde, Kuba Najman se neobjevil už skoro tři měsíce a spojovací článek Hout opět berluje se zánětem šlach v kotníku. Zájem o les jeví už jen pár horských cyklistů někde od Chomutova. Je to smutný pohled. Těch pár letošních sessions by se spočítalo na prstech jedný ruky a pokud nepočítáme poježdění s Corey Bohanem před Dirt&Rollem, zůstali bychom skoro na nule. Snad se vše v dobré obrátí a alespoň Řáholec Jam se v září vydaří, snad ano.

The Olympics

Posted on August 11, 2012 by Paul

Maris Strombergs in a lead of Olympic final going for gold again.

As someone said in comments in Frenk’s post below, bmx roots are in racing and we should keep it in mind. Started in 60’ in California as pure amateur pleasure, finally became one of the Olympic sports, still it is bmx though. Who watched Olympic racing last two days, must agree that was insane. Czech girls did not make a cut, it was expected for sure, they are not that good. Men’s final was nothing but one man show of defending champion Maris Strombergs, who made it again. I am stoked. Mecca of bmx was always America or Australia, now a guy from small eastern European country (Latvia) dominates the bmx world for more than six years now, making two Olympic gold in a row, that all despite serious injury he suffered two years ago, thus was out for almost a year. Well, Maris is only 25, but he is the legend already and probably the best bmx racer of all time. Olympic racing is over, I am already looking forward to next one, Rio de Janeiro 2016. Maybe Strombergs will gain gold triple, who knows.

One note, none of major Czech freestyle bmx websites has even mentioned that this amazing race is coming. What a shame. You guys don’t forget the roots!

Wizard of Aus : Dirt, Metal and BMX in the Czech Republic

Posted on August 9, 2012 by Paul

„It’s the way the contest and vibe should be. If people don’t experience contest like that at least once in their career, then I am lucky, because that’s a good time.“ – Corey Bohan. Nothing else can describe better what was up at Vans Dirt&Roll in Jičín and there is no better reward than this for all the hard work behind. Goddamn I wish to make it again next year. Enjoy.

LONDON

Posted on August 6, 2012 by frenk

This week in London will start BMX race. The Event that I am most looking forward at the Olympics. We will keep one’s fingers crossed to our athletes Aneta Hladikova and Romana Labounkova. They will have to try hard on Wednesday at 3 pm to go to finals. GOOD LUCK GIRLS! Course looks absolutely fantastic, look at it.It’s a pity that our best BMX racer Michal Prokop doesn’t take part in the race. You can check talking about his “failure” here. For more info about the race, schedule and riders visit bikros.cz

Řáholec Jam 2012

Posted on August 3, 2012 by Hout

Řáholec Jam 2012, situace zdá se býti komplikovanější, než jsme původně očekávali. Plánované datum 25. srpna bohužel koliduje s nedávno oznámeným AKODem, kterýžto pro Čechy velmi oblíbený dirtovo-trailsový contest v Linzi si leckdo včetně Kudra nechce nechat ujít. Další vhodný termín se nabízí až 22. září.. Řáholec Jam pro letošek tedy zůstává otevřen, buď to vyjde 22. září, nebo to třeba vyjde jindy. Kdo ví. Pokud se někdo vyloženě chystal do lesa na 25., pochopitelně mu v tom nikdo nebrání, jen velká session asi nebude. Zdar a sílu.

Ve Stráži pod Ralskem proběhl minulý týden  BMXový tábor Rock BMX a velkou součástí každodeního programu pro všechny účastníky bylo i ježdění na hlíně a všechno s tím spojený. Koukněte na tuhle fotku. Najde se mezi nimi někdo, kdo jednou bude pravověrný trailsař?Heh.

Wizard of Aus – Milevsko and L.E.S. sessions

Posted on July 30, 2012 by Hout

Další díl ze série Wizard of Aus, která mapuje život Corey Bohana, je na světě. Corey si s sebou do Čech přivezl celý štáb a právě nově vyšlá 7. epizoda je z České republiky. Nakonec se natočilo tolik materiálu, že se to rozdělilo dokonce do dvou dílů. Pro ty, co neměli tu příležitost být u toho, session v Milevsku na Vápně a následná session v lese s Corey Bohanem, Wizard of Aus, epizoda 7, je to tu.

A year after i was born in 1989, this guy took his car, wife and started a travel advanture. Same style of crusing around our planet for more than 23 years! Two film cameras, no blogs, no laptops… Incredible!! I’m stoked. It’s give rise to a lot of question about our lifes in my head, pretty nice feel for sunday evening.

Headcam vids

Posted on July 28, 2012 by frenk

Dave King published GoPro headshot from catty few days ago. This place is amazing as well as The Heathens, where Mark was enjoying his Line probably at the same time, because both of this head edits came up at the same day. I wish more days like these hehe. I heard that PA spots are crazy as hell and these vids confirm that.

I also recommend you to see all Mark’s headcam videos here. There are two spots from Czech republic recorded last year, when Mark visited us. I think He had never forgot it. The first one is from Vápenka and the second one from Backspace Line in L. E. S. Czech goes!
