An the winners are… Hit the Ride BMX website to find out who went back to their hotel rooms with NORA Cup’s last night. Overall, the entire thing went over really well. It was a huge turn out.

Going to be at Interbike? Planning on being at NORA Cup? Well, get there on time because Eclat will be premiering the Trans Europe Express part from the Free and Sleazy tour! Can’t wait to see this.
“Ok, so as a co-sponsor of this years Nora Cup in Las Vegas we had the chance to show a special edit including part III of the ‘free and sleazy’ tour in Europe. Its just 10 minutes long but we thought it would be a cool and fun way to kick off the awards.
If you get to the awards show a little early you can have a good old watch, starring Ashley Charles, Chester Blacksmith, Sean Burns, Shane Weston, Nathan Williams, Darryl Tocco, Phil Demattia and IZ Pulido. Hope you can make it!
We are at Booth 24009 at interbike, come say hi.” – Paul Robinson / Eclat TM
