It's that time of year again where rider switches are abound, and we are very proud here at Supercross BMX to announce a new addition to the Supercross Family. None other than 2008 NBL #1 Super-X , AA Pro and Future Olympian - Kris Fox! Kris is currently training on a Supercross EVO S7 Pro XL with custom graphics while he is preparing for his return to BMX racing at the ABA / UCI Pro Race in Perris California, after his ankle injury suffered at the UCI France Race last fall.
"Kris is an awesome addition to the Supercross Family" said 2008 Olympian and Supercross BMX Racer/Team Manager

Hitman Bikes Inc. has signed USA PRO legend ROB NOLLI, look for him on the car crash tested "RUBY" street frame. Hitman is now sending flow support to a U.K. rider, PAUL KING, and also to Woodward West counselor TROY CONZELMANN. In FLATLAND news they have flowed a well seasoned USA flatland rider Bryan Huffman. And a new flat kid, a 6'4" giant actually, USA's Eric Wright is Hitman Judas bound. He has pulled two BUNNYHOP BIKE FLIPS!

The January/February issue of DIGBMX couldn't have come at a worse time. It got me motivated to ride some trails but we just received 4 inches of snow so riding outside is not an option right now. A Trails Only issue is great when you ride trails. If you don't ride dirt this issue might turn you into it. Pick up a shovel and build the exact jumps that you want to build. No need to blame the concrete builder that messed up the trannie at your local park. DIG 68 takes you through the steps with veteran trail builders and shows you spots

Making a full length video is a big project but it's fun too. It gives you reason to make road trips "to film for the video" and The Shadow crew did do some trips to film for "Into The Void". Most of it had been published before in several (international) magazines and also showing some footy in the two trailers prior to the release gave away a bit of the video. But it's got plenty left to amaze you. Every rider on the crew had me go "wow" at least once. Johnny Devlin amazed me the most and his part was the ender of the video. 

Over at Parano Garage they've got some new year specials going on. Get a free Parano T-shirt and a Hotw-To DVD if you buy a complete bike for instance. Or get a good deal on a frame from United, wethepeople, Sputnic, Twenty, Federal, St. Martin or Volume. Great specials on Orchid, Beloe and Odessa shoes at the moment 

-How many Simpel Sessions have you put on before?
Risto: It's our 9th year. We started in 2000. It's gonna be our 6th event in Tallinn in the wintertime. And before that we did 4 events in Tartu in the summertime. In addition to that we put on a decent qualifying event last summer in Tallinn and a year before we did summer qualifying tour in 3 cities. So altogether it's been 13 Simpel Session events and 10 big ones.
