Backyard Jam Ramp 1 Skatepark

Stu at Seventies asked myself and Shaun from Four One Four skateparks to run the judging side of the new Backyard Jam series for 2019. This event was at Ramp 1 skatepark in Warrington and was a huge success. For an amatuer series including under 15s under 11s male and female the riding level was so high. We also provided the scoring system and judges and had results directly after each phase of the contest.

World Urban Games Budapest

This was the first ever World Urban Games held in Budapest Hungary. The BMX Contest had a prize purse for €10,000 for 1st place so it was full of the best riders in the world. I was head judge for this event and it was very difficult to judge. The event organiser and hosts were really happy with how the whole event planned out.

Battle Of Hastings UK

One of my favourite contests of the year happens in my own country. The atmosphere in Hastings at the Source Park for Battle Of Hastings is incredible. Achim organises such a good contest format which is a team event with the riders also making videos for us to judge.

Crankworx Whistler Canada

This was my first time in Whistler judging the famous Red Bull Joyride contest. I used to watch this event when it was a BMX contest called salvation back in the mid 2000s. It’s such a well organised event with so much going on for all levels of riding.

Newquay Boardmasters UK

Vision Nine asked myself and Four One Four Skateparks to arrange and organise the BMX contest in Newquay UK for the boardmasters surf festival. We have been going down to Cornwall for over 12 years now working in this event. We invite all the pro riders and run the contest and judging. We also hold an under 15s contest for local talented riders to ride.   This year the hurricane caused many issues with the whole music and surf festival. We held out to the Sunday and managed to run a straight final!

This was my second time hosting a judging clinic in South Korea. The upcoming riders/judges and scene in Korea is growing really fast. They are all really good participants who pay a lot of attention and care a lot of the future of BMX Freestyle. The Korean Cycling team take really good care of me whilst i am there. This year i designed and planned a test for them which they all passed and got certificates.

Pannonian Challenge Croatia

This event is held on Osijek Croatia. A very unique small town in the north east of the country but it has an amazing skatepark and scene and an event spanning over 20 years. It’s great to see the progression of the scene from this region and that so many international riders male and female came out as it was a C1 event helping to earn Olympic points
