Here’s the official video from the Red Bull Circle of Balance contest that went down in Kyoto, Japan the other weekend. The riding that went down at this contest is so wild. I don’t even understand how the hell these guys do what they do.

Bezanson, Dhers and Godziek at Baltic Games 2012
Check out a recap of what Red Bull‘s Drew Bezanson, Daniel Dhers and Dawid Goziek got into during the Baltic Games. Looks like it was a hell of a good time.
“The Baltic Games saw a big win for Drew Bezanson and we follow him on his trip to Gdansk for the games, which saw not only Drew in first place but also Daniel Dhers taking third behind Harry Main in second place.
This exclusive clip contains some gravity-defying tricks from the competition and follows Drew and Daniel on their day off as Daniel compares a Polish beach to those in his homeland of Venezuela and the guys then head off go-karting to let off some steam before jumping back on a plane.

Red Bull Circle of Balance Results
Real early today, the Red Bull Circle of Balance went down in Japan. If you wanted to catch it here in the U.S you had to be up around 3 or 4 in the morning just to watch the live feed. It sounds like things went off as expected. Above you can check out a teaser for the contest Red Bull released the other day and below you can find the full release on what went down and who won. Expect more footage from the actual contest to pop up here in the next day or two.
“Kyoto, 8 September 2012. For the third time in the history of the Red Bull Circle Of Balance, the victory goes to Spain’s Viki Gomez. The Spaniard made it through to the final round by eliminating Alex Jumelin from France and Moto Sasaki from Japan. In front of a sold out crowd at Kyoto’s International Conference Center, Gomez met up with Matthias Dandois (Fra), Jean-William Prevost (Can) and Hiroya Morizaki (Jap) who had battled their way into the final round of four.
The new time format in the fourth edition of the most prestigious contest in flatland was a big success. It created a good tension between the riders and gave the crowd Goosebumps looking at the clock which was ticking down while the riders used up every single second to show their tricks. Third place winner Jean-William Prevost from Canada couldn’t believe he made it on the podium. “I feel like this is totally unreal, I think I’m still dreaming. I stayed calm and stayed to myself and it worked this time.” The Canadian said.
The local crowd was hoping for Hiroya Morizaki to grab the win at the 2012 edition of the Circle Of Balance. The crowd got on their feet when the final 30 seconds kicked off and the vibe in Kyoto’s Conference Center was electric. Hiroya brought lots of original spinning tricks to the battleground but Viki Gomez did the same thing. The Red Bull rider did all new combos in his run and was simply stoked on pulling them. “It didn’t matter if I would win or not,” said the Spaniard, “I was happy to be pulling the tricks I had been working on for so long. To be able to do them at the finals of the COB is just amazing. I’m now going home and am going to take my brakes off and start working on new tricks for the next six months.”
The Rider’s award, a special prize which is voted by the 16 competing riders, went to Alex Jumelin from France for standing out all week.
Flatland BMX was lifted to new levels in Kyoto, Japan by the riders, and the organisation who both stepped it up leaving everyone wondering when the next edition is going to be held.
Results:
1. Viki Gomez (Spain)
2. Hiroya Morizaki (Japan)
3. Jean William Prevost (Canada)
4. Matthias Dandois (France)
Rider’s Award:
Alex Jumelin (France)”

Wizard of Aus – US Open of Surfing to Brothers in Nicaragua – Episode 10
I’ve been to the U.S Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach and Corey doesn’t lie at all about what it’s all about. There’s so much jail bait there it’s not even funny! But, as always… Corey gets some riding time in and bounces around to new country for him. Living the dream.
“In this episode, Corey Bohan finds himself signing autographs with Anthony Napolitan at the US Open of Surf in Huntington Beach. After taking in the scene and surviving the sensory overload, Corey is whisked away on a last second journey to Nicaragua. There, he joins Eric and John Jackson of “Brothers on the Run”, with a special guest appearance by Travis Rice.
Surfing, riding, good times, and varmint wrangling ensue.” – Red Bull
