OPB caught up with Dean Dickinson to talk a little bit about his book, “You Won’t”, which is about the 100 different pools he rode. They met up with him at his favorite pool, The Donald Pool, in Donald, Oregon to talk a little bit about the book, some of the things he went through to make the book happen and more. Take a peek!
Racine Jam 2012
Tyler Stephens put together this video from the annual Racine Jam that went down August 18th in Wisconsin. I spy Jeff Dowhen, John Wells, JJ Flairty getting down so that means there had to be good times that went down. Check out the video.
Baltic Games 2012 Highlights
I didn’t realize the Baltic Games were going down in a big arena. It’s definitely a bigger contest than I thought it was. Either way, here’s some highlights from the riding that went down there this past weekend. Check out guys like Drew Bezanson, Harry Main and Daniel Dhers throwing down!

Video Recap: 8/27 – 9/2
All right, so I decided to change the name of the weekly round up of the best videos from Hangover to Video Recap. Hangover isn’t nearly as funny when you’re struggling with a hangover in the first place. That, and I don’t think it was clear as Video Recap…. So that’s what we’re doing now. Either way, I’ve got 13 of the best edits from the week (once again with the 13… Not sure why we always end up with about that many but we do) for you to check out for the second time or maybe catch something you missed. Let’s do this!

Chris Doyle Wins 2012 Vans Kill The Line
I had a good feeling when I saw that Chris Doyle was finally going to be making it to a Vans Kill The Line finally!
“02.9.2012 – Peynier, France. US trails legend Chris Doyle ist the winner of VANS Kill the Line
2012. In the counting two out of three perfectly dialed runs he showed what he is famous for:
Classically smooth tricks in the signature Doyle style, among them 360 turndowns and inverts.
The Californian Michael „Hucker“ Clark placed second with his carefree attitude, consistant runs
and big tricks done both ways – being the only rider flipping the stepdown. Last years winner TJ
Ellis (USA) got third pulling loads of flip trick variations especially in the middle of the set. Simon
Moratz from Germany took home the „UNIT Best Trick“ and 1.000 Euro prize money.
More than 6.000 spectators witnessed 16 finalists out of 55 riders competing on the line in the
pine woods with nine jumps. For the fourth consecutive year some of the worlds best dirt riders
came to the legendary Peynier Trails in the South of France and went for an overall prize money of
7.000 Euros – among them the worlds BMX dirt eilte like Anthony Napolitan (USA), Rob Darden
(USA), Kye Forte (UK), Paul Langlands (NZ), Dave Dillewaard (AUS) and many more.
The probably most relaxed dirt contest of the season with almost perfect weather conditions was
judged by Dave „Hank“ Cleworth (UK), Paul Rak (CAN), Patrick Haebig (AUT) and Fabien Conry
