The Ultimate X Fest contest is going down this weekend down in South Africa! Here is a little look at some of the action that went down during the first day of Practice, along with some thoughts on the setup. We have a feeling there will be plenty more wild riding coming from this event. Until then, check this out!

It’s been awesome seeing all the moves Mongoose have been doing. Here’s a video from a full team trip down to Costa Rica where the crew soaked up the sunshine and, what appears to be, an endless supply of dialed setups to ride from skateparks to street spots and more. Here’s part one giving you a look at what the team got into during their visit on and off their bikes!
“The Mongoose BMX team was getting sick of riding in the cold, winter weather so they decided to head to someplace warm. The chosen spot was Costa Rica! It was sunny, warm and was exactly what we needed! With tour guide Kenneth Tencio in tow Kevin Peraza, Pat Casey, Paul Ryan, Ben Wallace, Greg Illingworth and Tom Isted got to check out the lovely Costa Rica and the amazing riding spots it had to offer! This is Part 1 of 2.”

The sponsor changes for 2017 are starting to trickle in now. It looks like Greg Illingworth will not be riding for Fox Europe in 2017. It sounds like this one was an expected parting and everything is on good terms, though. We would imagine we’ll still be seeing a ton of Greg in 2017, and that’s always a good thing!
“After 4 amazing years I am no longer riding for @foxheadeurope. I had some of my best times with this crew and the credits from our Ride to Glory 2013 video shows a bunch of that.
Fox have cut their Europe BMX program for 2017. While it’s sad to see a brand with such deep BMX roots struggle to stay connected to it, I am incredibly grateful for everything they have done for me, everything I have learned through them and everyone I met along the way. Massive thanks and shout out to these people in particular: @sirmerlin @brodevosloo @joy_bethany @limalitw @mattpriest321 @leofortedesign @fraserbyrne #bmx #grateful #powerrangers”

“With 200 registered from all corners of the country and other parts of Europe like UK, grece, Germany or France, “Rubén Alcántara” Skatepark climbed their slat once more… With one of the best bowls of the world, the level in this discipline was unbeatable, people as “Juanillo” from Chile destroyed them minds doing a whip in a 7 mts transfer ,winning 200€ as Best Trick. The “follow me” of Sergio Layos, Kevin Kalkoff and Greg Illingworth left certainly speechless to the public with its incredible airs. After a very cold Monster began the new of this year, the M.O.R.(Money Obstacles race) the truth is that had great acceptance from the riders and that achieved its goal… Disconnecting a little tricks and having fun!! Cristian Toledo made the best time with 11, 37seconds taking 100€!
Then at dirt continued stressing the flow with Miguel Cuesta to the head, as a result took their € 200 for Best Style, some spectacular tricks as 360 Seatgrab Indian’s “juanillo” also did we skip surprised. The Street was savage, many riders wanting to give it all, so we had to make 4 groups to ride well… Courage Adams or Jason Eustathiou certainly is carried several 5€ thanks to its softness and flow. The Canary Javi Castilla won other €200 with the best creativity with a oppo tooth to crank 360… The public was happier than ever with the amount of awards which are pulled from the Truck… over €1000 in stuff like Vans Shoes a United frames/ bars, Oakley Sunglasses or polaroid cameras just by upload a photo on Instagram… And the after party… to say that there are still people’s Party, says it is all!
One more year whith the REAL bmx atmosphere… The event never would have been possible without the unconditional support of Monster Energy and the collaboration of UnitedBMX, Vans, Oakley, BMXUnion and Wallride Mag.

Last weekend was the annual Money For Trick contest at the Ruben Alcantara skatepark over in Malaga, Spain! The concept is pretty straight forward, you come out and ride and have a good time, and you win money and prizes all along the way! This year was nothing short of amazing with 200 riders that registered to ride the different events from the park and street contest to the Money Obstacles Race and more. This photogallery contains photos from throughout the day from pros to the young guns. Plenty of smiles! Below you can find a few words from Fernadno Marmolejo who organized the event and took all of these photos!
“With 200 registered riders from all corners of the country and other parts of Europe like the UK, Greece, Germany and France, the “Rubén Alcántara” Skatepark was packed once more. With one of the best bowls in the world, the level of riding going on was unbeatable. Riders like Juanillo from Chile blew minds doing a massive whip transfer, winning 200€ for the Best Trick contest. The “Follow Me” contest with Sergio Layos, Kevin Kalkoff and Greg Illingworth left everyone speechless with their incredible airs and style. After everyone had some Monster, we began the new event for this year, the M.O.R.(Money Obstacles Race). This event a had great response from the riders and that achieved its goal… Not focusing on the tricks and just having fun! Cristian Toledo made the best time overall with 11.37 seconds taking the 100€ prize!
After that, the dirt contest followed with some amazing flow from Miguel Cuesta, who took €200 for the Best Style. The Street contest was savage, there were a lot of riders wanting to give it their all, so we had to make 4 groups for this event… Courage Adams and Jason Eustathiou ended up with plenty of 5€ bills thanks to their amazing control and style. The Canary, Javi Castilla, won €200 for the best creativity with an oppo tooth to crank arm grind to 360… The crowd was loving every second of it and we gave away over €1000 in prizes like Vans Shoes, United frames and bars, Oakley Sunglasses and Polaroid cameras just by upload a photo on Instagram.
After things wrapped up, the after party started… All we can say is it was crazy!
Another year of Money For Trick down, with the REAL BMX atmosphere all day long… The event never would have been possible without the unconditional support of Monster Energy and the collaboration of United BMX, Vans, Oakley, BMX Union and Wallride Mag. Thank you for your support!” – Fernadno Marmolejo

We have been loving these “The Ramp II” videos from the Monster Energy crew! It’s crazy how a little kicker ramp can lead to so many gnarly setups and tricks! This time around Greg Illingworth had his way with the ramp where he set it up all over the place from skateparks to street spots, bringing plenty of speed and style to everything he was able to ride! Hit play and enjoy!

“Rules are not what BMX is about. And, when you begin to subscribe to an idea that you’re supposed to do this or that while riding your bike, you’re missing the whole idea…taking a kicker ramp into the streets is a taboo in the world of BMX, but that’s exactly the point.
Let one of the most exciting, high-speed street riders take a portable, adjustable aluminum ramp into the urban wilderness of Estonia and England and see what comes out the other side. Enjoy Greg Illingworth and The Ramp II… ” – Monster Energy
