There hasn’t been a ton of sponsor shake ups in 2019 so far, which is probably a good thing. However, there have been a few notable ones! It was just announced that Boyd Hilder has parted ways with Volume Bikes and have joined the Federal Bikes team! It looks like the move has been good for Boyd since he took the win at Simple Session this past weekend! Expect to see plenty from Boyd in 2019!

Ghetto Games 2018 – BMX Street Highlights
Check out what went down during the Street contest at this years Ghetto Games!
The annual Ghetto Games contest went off this past weekend over in Latvia and there was no shortage of amazing riding and good times going down. Above is a video Freedom BMX put together giving us a look at all the action that went down in the BMX Street contest. Check it!
“The street contest at the Ghetto Games was held on a street next to Ventspils concrete park. For the fact that the whole thing had an undeniable village character character, not many spectators were present and the course consisted of transportable obstacles, the starting field was surprisingly well staffed. Among others, Felix Prangenberg, Eddie Baum and Bruno Hoffmann were at the start, but unfortunately the latter preferred not to ride because of injury. In addition to heaps of really good locals were also the Russian Edeltechniker Igor Bespaliy, Reed Stark from the United States and the Argentine Mati Lasgoity come to Latvia, so it was quite international. Here’s our video with highlights from one of the hottest afternoons ever in the Baltics to the sounds of that song that was definitely the most played during the weekend. Now you have to go through …
