Spotted on Can You Dig It. Check out this video that Henrique “Valvo” Castro put together from some of the sessions going down at the Caracas Trails while he heals up from an injury. I don’t think I’ll ever get over how massive those trails are and the location they are in. Amazing.

Over the last few months, you guys have probably noticed that we have been doing a lot with the all trails website, Can You Dig It. It was one of the websites that we partnered with at the beginning of the year, and anyone who checks the site on the regular knows it’s the go to place for anything trails related. The website is run by a guy named Jon Saunders who has been digging and riding for years and has a huge appreciation for the art and hard work involved in trails riding and BMX in general. I figured by now a bunch of you are wondering what this dude with a shovel is all about, so I tossed him a bunch of questions to find out more about the guy behind Can You Dig It. Let’s take a look at what he had to say!

Dan’s Comp caught up with Devon Smillie to talk about what it is about skateboarding that gets him as stoked as he does with BMX. Check out a sweet mix of skate and BMX clips which won’t disappoint!
“Dan’s Comp team rider Devon Smillie is a really good skateboarder as well as ripping it up on a bike. Devon blurs the lines between the two activities and this video by Stew Johnson for Dan’s Comp breaks down the how and why. Skating may be an escape for Devon, but he applies his skate skills to his bike riding with stylish results on both two and four wheels.”

Over the past few days, word that park and vert would not be happening at the X-Games stop in Los Angeles this summer. Obviously this decision caught everyone off guard and it definitely got some people a little fired up about it. Today, Mat Hoffman shot out an email to a few people explaining why they chose to do this and how this actually affects the entire picture of BMX in the X-Games in 2013 and into the future. Given it sucks not having that exposure, it does make sense as far as prize money and the combined exposure from all of the stops. Below is the email we received… Take a peek!
“I would like to address the news that BMX Park and BMX Vert will not be included in ESPN’s X Games in Los Angeles this year.
As the BMX organizer for ESPN’s X Games, I, of course, would like to see all disciplines represented at all X Games events, especially my life blood, Vert. However, we have been reassured by ESPN that they are not withdrawing their support and coverage of BMX. They are changing the coverage of sports and disciplines for each stop, as their focus is to produce 6 diversely different TV shows. In fact, to put into perspective, in 2012, ESPN had 4 BMX competitions with $359,000 in prize money. This year, they have 12 BMX competitions with over $1 million in prize money, tripling their support for BMX.
This is progression. We will continue to strongly advocate BMX for all of ESPN’s events and we hope that the BMX community will stand with us in building upon this year and the years to come.” -Mat Hoffman
