My good friend Jill Kintner, who is heading to the Olympics as the only US girl in BMX racing, just posted a nice look at the Freestylin’ book that was put together in conjunction with the Nike Lightning Bolts art show. You can check some photos of the book out on her blog a few posts down and you can see a few photos of the Nike BMX SB shoes as well.

Good luck at the Olympics Jill! Check out her post here.

Derek sent over info about a last minute trail jam they are having. The jam is this Saturday, July 26th from 3pm to 9pm, and they are also showing an encore presentation of the 2×4 video, which by all accounts seems to be a good watch. Get there if you can, even if the image on the flyer is scaring the crap out of you.

Those of you in San Diego, come hang on Monday night with me and my fellas at UNIV, my favorite shop in North County, and participate in the 16-inch BMX race.

And a special callout to any flatlanders–come do your thing in the parking lot and say what’s up to Defgrip interviewee Tim Swart, creative genius and BMX fanatic.

While the Sunday team and I were in Guadalajara, MX, we organized a little street jam to hang out and meet the locals. We didn’t get too much riding done, but met a lot of really cool kids, signed a load of autographs and played a few hectic games of foot down.
