Source BMX – BOH 2020 Video Qualifier Results

July 27, 2020

The 2020 Source BMX Battle of Hastings video qualifier results are in! Here’s a video where Darryl Nau runs through the top 10 videos, along with announcing the overall winner. Unfortunately due to the COVID situation, the original plan can’t be put into place for the qualifier, but at least they will have it dialed in for 2021! Check out the details.

“The time has come for our guy Darryl Nau to announce the Top 10 from our Battle Of Hastings video qualification contest and what a contest it has been!

With unreal submissions from the UK, all over the USA, Japan, Ukraine, Norway and more this contest went beyond what we even envisioned with such a variety of riders throwing down on all kinds of street spots! Shout out to all of them, their filmer’s and more for the hard work and dedication over what has been such a trying time to be out filming in the streets!

When it came to judging, we brought in our 2020 #BOHBMX judges consisting of Ruben Alcantara. Dave Cleworth, Moritz Nussbaumer, Axel Jurgens and Owain Clegg to make the final decision and they all agreed that Michigan, USA’s Grant Ueberroth would be taking the top spot and a trip to Hastings.

Check out full results here: SOURCEBMX.COM/BOH

Due to current Covid-19 travel restrictions, Grant is sadly unable to attend this Septembers event but has automatically qualified for an all expenses trip to Battle Of Hastings 2021. Congratulations from all at Source BMX!” – Source BMX

Rest In Peace, Tim Eichert

July 27, 2020

It’s always a bummer hearing that a rider has passed away. Freedom BMX announced that German BMX legend Tim Eichert has passed. They’ve put together a tribute video with some footage of Tim slaying a vert ramp, along with some words about Tim! We didn’t know Tim, but it’s safe to say he was a lifer that could shred everything. Rest in Peace, Tim! The German scene lost a good one.

“The BMX scene in Bonn in the 90s was not a place of harmony. Only one rider was equally respected by everyone: Tim Eichert, a punk rock gladiator in a full-face helmet. He showed us what pure will can move.

Tim has always been true to himself and has never bent to please others. His enthusiasm for all types of BMX infected us. No matter if street, dirt or flat, the session in Bonn mostly ended at the half pipe in the Rheinaue. Here Tim boosted 540s on a much too heavy bike, back flips and flairs on a dilapidated ramp without Resi or Foam. He learned everything the hard way and knocked himself out in one or the other 900 attempts. Nobody could take any more, but at the same time he was also a gentle giant.

As the hero of our youth, Tim has only helped, be it with parts or a hard hand. He pushed us and just wanted to see how we get better. When drivers older than 35 tell melancholy that BMX used to be better, they mean personalities like Tim Eichert. Zero fucks. Pedal to the metal.

The German BMX scene has lost one of its legends. He has integrated several generations of riders into the BMX family, and without his help, many would not be where they are today. Tim, we will never forget you.

The La Cribs squad up in Canada took a trip on down to the U.S to spend some time exploring spots around Boston, Massachusetts for their annual trip.

Either way, these guys spent a few days exploring spots all over the city, stacking clips all along the way. Hit play to check out what they got into and what went down!

“La Cribs, Canadian BMX Bike Shop, do one Big Road Trip every year since now almost 8 years of business already !
