The UCI asked me to produce and deliver a BMX Freestyle park judging course so we can teach brand new judges to work on a national level within their own countries and develop into international judges.

This was my 6th time judging the bmx park and street contests in Tallinn Estonia. It’s always a great contest to start the year with. So many types of riders from all over the world come to this event. It’s a tough one to judge but it helps as we get the best view and are always treated well by the organisers.

The last stop of the FISE World Series was held again in Chengdu China for the 5th year. We were in a new venue but the course was just as good as always. There was a good turn out for amateurs and juniors as well. A long weekend judging and a few crashes in peoples runs meant the rankings were constantly changing. What an amazing year with FISE again.

The weather held out for us and it was a successful event for the riders, organisers,UCI and the Olympics.

This was my third year judging the three year old contest held in Hastings England. It’s got a different twist as it’s a team event where team captains invite the riders for their own team. It’s always a very core BMX crowd and an intense atmosphere inside the building.
