THE WORLD’S
FIRST BMX DIRT SLOPESTYLE IS BACK!
2008 RED BULL EMPIRE OF DIRT DATES ANNOUNCED!
25 & 26 July, 2007
Newton Abbot, Devon, England
www.myspace.com/redbullempireofdirt
Red Bull & Kye Forte announced the much anticipated, Red Bull Empire of
Dirt, will be back in 2008. The event will be held Friday 25th and
Saturday 26th July, on a farm near Newton Abbot.
Red Bull Empire of Dirt, the world’s first BMX DIRT SLOPESTYLE contest,
is the brainchild of UK rider Kye Forte and Red Bull, and combines
influences from each of the BMX styles.
Last year, the innovative, and downright scary course - which swallowed
thousands of tons of dirt, took more than a month to build and featured
a huge dirt superpipe, and ridiculous twin wall rides - sent shockwaves
through the BMX world, and attracted a veritable Who’s Who of
international riders - including Brian Foster, Gary Young, and Corey
Bohen.
“It’s amazing!” said Gary Young, summing up most’s impressions of the
course, which stretched 300 metres down a steep slope and also
incorporated doubles, berms, wooden obstacles and rails.
Unfortunately, organisers were forced to cancel the event on the day,
after unusually heavy rain damaged the course beyond repair. In an
overwhelming show of support, all riders vowed to return in 2008 to do
justice to the monster course.
“The freakish summer weather put us down, but not out, last year,” says
Empire creator and top UK rider Kye Forte. “It’s only going to make
everyone more keen to show the world what Red Bull Empire of Dirt is all
about.”
Stay tuned for course design, official website, rider list, and event
info….

CHRIS
CHILDS ADDED TO DK DAMN KIDS FLOW TEAM
http://www.digbmx.com/news/chris-childs-added-to-dk-damn-kids-flow-team/dig-1231233.html
02/10/08
DK Bicycles just added another fresh name to
their Damn Kids flow team. His name is Chris Childs, he's 17 years old
and he's from Attleboro, Massachusetts. Personally, I'm glad to see the
name 'Damn Kids' back in the DK lineup.
According to Catfish, "I met Chris at the Dew
Tour Finals in Orlando. He was going four feet higher than everyone on
everything. We decided that for 2008, we would allow our pro team to
pick the entire flow team and when Brian Hunt told me his pick was
Chris, I was stoked. Chris is an amazing rider, not to mention he works
at Union Cycle in Attleboro. Plan on seeing lots more of Mr. Childs this
year. Welcome to the team Chris!"

team or daily blog updates from the DK pro team, check out

Psykopath Industries
02/09/08
Psykopath has good news from our World Headquarters, after fighting
with the city and county for over 3 years, we are one step closer to
finally getting our track approved here in the East Bay Area. Carl
Renowitzky who has been trying to get a track approved in the inner
city for some time, got tired of the red tape and bought a strip of
land in back of the Psykopath office and built its own trail park, we
even had the NBL to insure it. We ran it for about three years, having
long trial sessions, sprint money races, and even big dirt jumping
contest with some of the best local pros. We stayed under the radar
for a good three years, it run until the county officials said our
spot was not zoned for recreational use (you can see some of this
footage form our first DVD).So we shut the trail park down with a
condition that the riders will received another spot to ride, there is
never any guarantee when dealing with the government, but with the
whole Psykopath crew pushing and fighting our politicians have been
working hard to help our riders get a spot approved, (check what the
newspaper said
www.insidebayarea.com/search/ci_8117413
There is one more meeting left and hopefully we will be breaking
ground soon.
Psykopath is always looking for new up and coming riders for our
factory rooster, Our AA Pro Damian Lopez told us about the Larson
family a few years ago when he stayed with them during a Psykopath
road trip and about their private BMX compound. We are very proud to
welcome both Alex Larson, Apro and Emileig Larson 14x girls, 2 rad
racers out of
Virginia!, we are so happy to have the Larson family aboard!.
Both, brother and sister are famous for they’re jumping skills! (Alex
jumped the 06 Xmas Classic berm jump on his 16” bike, isn’t that
something!).They will be sporting our colors for this season! And if
you would like to know more about them and their BMX compound go to
www.bmxbackyard.com
Here at Psykopath we always supported riders around the world. We
have recruited some new people that we want to welcome to our
Psykopath family: The first one is the Todd Lyons of
Chile his name is Miguel Yañez, they call him “Chure” Great
personality, very fast Elite Men Rider, owns his own company
“Churestyle” that makes a lot of graphic designs and what not! He’s
going to be our Official Distributor for
Chile.
I met him in an International race in
Viña del Mar in
Chile, beautiful
country, awesome beaches, beautiful girls and awesome tracks! Most of
the tracks have Pro sections, that are actually decision makers, which
is very good for those up and coming Amateurs, so drop him a line at
churebmx@hotmail.com
or go to
www.churestyle.cl if you need a Psykopath frame in South America
he is our Official Distributor!.
Diego”Señor Smoothie” Alejandre from
Ohio?, I been good friends with his Dad (J.C. Alejandre) and
his family forever, I know them since my early days in BMX, Diego is a
talented rider, I have know Diego since he was only probably 3 years
old! (Which makes me old I guess) and I have seen him grow from a
tricycle rider with a number plate to a National Caliper Rider. He
will be racing A Pro, Super X, Junior Men, wearing our colors this
year on his Psykopath Pull Frame!, in Limited edition Bumblebee Yellow
( the color of choice of Erika Short as well), and if you see Diego at
the races take his bike for a test ride! And you can feel the
difference between our frames from the rest!
We would also like to thank our Sponsors and the people that support’s
us specially Guy at Menace apparel,
www.menaceapparel.com the
our staff, to Carol Jensen our loved Team Mom and our Central Team
Manager Rusty Beck who now with his son R.J. are now living in OK,
Thanks for everything!.
