Weather was very bad for the Birmingham Nationals which made conditions very tricky for all riders.
Good placing in the motos and semi saw him through to the final on the Saturday. Unfortunately riders stamping their feet at the back of the start gate resulted in him missing his timing on the gate and nearly going over the bars! He chased back from last place to finish a creditable 3rd.
A repeat of the weather on the Sunday and also excellent performances in the motos and semi resulted in a place in the final. No such mistake on the gate today through! An excellent gate and first straight saw him pull a gap on the chasing riders going into the first corner. A perfect lap rewarded him with an excellent 1st. Place and extend his lead in the overall championship.
Rob, Ethan Vernon
This weekend didn't see me at my best, on Saturday my motos went ok with 1st and 2nds but my legs were like lead and as I went into the semis I found it really hard to find
the strength to gate properly and being in the 16's class when your behind it's hard to catch up and I got more and more frustrated with myself. I made it through to the final
but along the first straight I got pushed into another rider and as he took off for the next jump, I sort of got caught on his arm and went down. The fact that my Club team mate
won the race made me feel abit better ;)
Sunday went abit better, I won all motos and semi and went into the final feeling more confident. Gate was better and was in a great position in 4th to swoop under them all but
I got caught up in the berm and then had too much work to do, I finished in 3rd place.
Paddy Sharrock
On day 1 I got a 2nd place and two 1st places in my motos. In my semi I picked lane 2 as I had first pick and also won my semi. In the final I had second pick and so chose lane 3. As it had been quite wet that day, the gate was very muddy and wet. Unfortunately, my wheel span on the gate and I was in 8th. I managed to finish in 6th but was very disappointed.
On day two, I came 1st in all of my motos. I also won my semi. In the final I had gate three. I had a great gate and was leading to the first jump however I did not come across enough so was in second. I was right behind but had to settle for second.
Lauren Stack
24.04.12
Lauren Stevens riding junior and elite men got a second place in
the final after winning his motos and semi.
Karo Vertessen and Wout Geukens got the first place in the final as
well as in the ranking.
Jona Laenen did very well with a third place in the final. In
his semi he slipped at the gate but didn’t hesitate. He fought his
way back from eight to third place.
Mathijs Verhoeven had bad luck in the quarter. He had a great
start and immediately got a nice lead. But he slipped in the
second turn and slammed into the bricks. Outside a black eye,
he is fortunately not hurt.
Ynske van Tichelt rode a good race with a fourth place in the final
junior and elite women.
Jarne Noyens took a fith place in the final.
Sten Sauvillers his quarter final was good but stranded in the
semi. He finished third in the B-final.
23.04.12
1s2w member Dieter Willemse came yesterday during training in Ravels to fall. He has a ruptured liver.
We wish Dieter all the best and a quick recovery!

Almost 2 months back i broke both bones in my left arm.
I got surgery the day after my crash in Kortrijk.
If got 2 titanium plates on both bones with 13 screws total.
A few days back i had to go to a doctor for some new photos.
The doctor told me that my bones not yet grown together after
alsmost 2 months :(
He told me that i can't ride my bike for another 7 weeks !
So for me this season is over !
But maybe i can ride my back again before The Worlds.
But for now i cant do much with my BMX bike, i just cycle on my
roadbike to stay healthy and conditioneel to maintain good.
More things i cant do right now, only some workout for my legs,
back and belly.
I hope to be back soon but i can not say that.
Maybe i come back faster than before :P
I just gonna ride with friends for fun this year because
i dont like to be very serious anymore, Not at this
time.
I see you again !
Greets,
Pim de Jong.

the last weekend we´ve had a great and learnfull weekend
with 3 differend tracks and many training hours.
First we went to luiksgestel where they built a big and amazing
track which looks like a SX track without 8mtrs
starthill.
We did great technical sessions with the boys and girls.
Second track in row was Ravels where the training was buizzy
becausse it was a open session for all riders.
There were a lot of dutch people who trained there.
Again a good session but the best was in track number 3
Veldhoven.
The group makes progression and everybody make theire own level
higher and higher on there way to the 2012 outdoor season.
2 weeks left for the 1st race in Belgium and 10 weeks till the
worlds in Birmingham and I´m happy to see the
progression in the group.
All Riders follow theire way and go 4 it - belief in all they
like to do and all they want to reach!
In the next weeks we will travel with some riders to Erlangen
(Germany) and Lumbres (France) for the final session before the
season start 2012.
Look at the foto session which is made by Prei at the track of
Veldhoven, thankx for this Patrick and thankx to Veldhoven BMX
Club...

good organised Indoor Race again held at the Caen Expo Center last weekend.
The youngest of the 1s2w riders, Karo Vertessen had a crash on saturday in the half final but she showed us all her level on sunday with a 3rd place in the final.
Jona Laenen and Mathijs Verhoeven had on both days to pass the 1/16 final. On saturday they rode through the 1/8 but did´nt reach the first 4 places - so they were out of competition. Sunday the end for them came one round earlier in the 1/16.
On both days it was not Donny´s race - he was out in the motos.
Lauren Stevens did a very good job on saturday. He made a very fast first lap at the back wheel from Moana Moo-Callie. In the 1/8 final he had a crash after a good gate in the open elite/juniors class.
On sunday he wasn´t fit and had a totaly "off" day - hopefully next time better.
Nadja did an amazing job in elite/junior open class, takes very good snaps from the gate, but had a bad luck in the final on position nr 3 at the back wheel from magalie pottiere and eva ailloud she crashed at the 2nd turn. On sunday she takes the holeshot in semi in front of again the world nr 3 magalie pottiere elite women but made a mistake in the final at the 2nd straight so she got finaly the 5th place.

I had a great weekend at the indoor race in Caen/ F last
weekend.
It was not easy because I had to race together with the French
elite girls.
On Saturday i took the backwheel of Eva Ailloud in the quater and
qualified for semi. There i got 2nd again. With a good start in the
Final i was right behind Ailloud and Pottier. After the first turn
I was 4th but got back on 3rd place after 2nd straight. After a
crash in the 2nd turn i got 8.
Sunday was also a good race. With 2,2,2 I qualified easily for the
semi. There I took the holeshot in front of Magalie Pottier and
Elke van Hoof. After a little mistake at the end of the 2nd
straight Pottier passed me. So again a 2nd place brought me to the
final. The Final was not a very "clean" race so after a lot
of ellbow contacts in the turns I finally got 5th.
Nadja

The second round of the 2012 UCI BMX Supercross, to be held in
Norway next April 13th and 14th, has been moved to a new indoor
venue in Randaberg.
The Randaberg Arena is just seven kilometres away from the
originally planned outdoor venue in the centre of Sandnes. This
slight change means the event will not be affected in the event of
bad weather.
Although this will be the first time that a round of the UCI BMX
Supercross is held in the country, Norway hosted the 2010 European
Championships and the 1991 BMX World Championships in Sandnes. The
Norwegian Cycling Federation took part in the seminar held at the
World Cycling Centre last week for all organisers of the 2012
Supercross series.
The 2012 UCI BMX Supercross, managed by Global Supercross Events
Inc, comprises four rounds. After Randaberg the series will stop
over in Papendal (NED) on May 12th and 13th, then Abbotsford (CAN)
on September 14th and 15th.

Last week I went on a trip with the danish national team to
Oldsmar, Florida. We already had problems at our first flight to
Amsterdam. It was delayed because of the snowy weather. So
therefore we also missed our flight to Detroit, but with a bit of
luck, we were in Orlando sunday noon. But our bikes and lugage
didn't arive with us. Monday it came to our hotel in Oldsmar, but
it was raining so hard we couldn't go training. But after this we
had some good trainings in Oldsmar! There was pro training from
tuesday and the rest of the week because of the race in the
weekend, so we were training with a lot of good riders, which was
very cool! Just before i went to the US I had a chrash, so I had a
lot of problems with my thumb and hip, but it got better and better
during the week.
The track in Oldsmar was so awesome! More european style than US,
with pretty big jumps for me, and also with a pretty steep rythm
section on the last straight. I never rode a track which was so
smooth, you could even see marks from the tires when you landed. I
felt good on the track besides my small injury, but I found the
gate very hard. It was really slow, and the hill was flat in the
top, but steep after 1-2 meters, so it was pretty difficult to
figure out.
The race in the weekend, Gator Nationals, was a big one. There were
a lot of riders, but not very many in Junior Women. Too bad! We
were only 6 saturday and 5 sunday. But we still rode 3 motos, and
after that the final main. Saturday i got 1,1,3 in the motos, and
ended up with a 2nd place in the main. Sunday it went even better.
I won all my motos and also the main. So a good weekend for me, and
really nice to try to race in the US, never tried that before, and
it is very different from the races in Europe. Even though we
weren't many riders, the level of each rider was high.

Last weekend the biggest sportsevent in europe with all the high
society people took place in Wiesbaden/Frankfurt. It is a prom for
all celebrities who love and support german top athletes. After the
people have finished their dinner, they go outside the dining hall
where a few sport stations were built up for watching and also for
to try it out by themselves. Me, as well as 3 other german riders
were invited to present our sport there and help the VIPs if they
also want ro try it. It was a great night!! :)

!!! A happy Coach !!!

Hello everybody,
21 till 23th of october we got round 5 and 6 in the
elite and junior european champs in the sunny
geneve.
Proud to present the best track of the last years in geneve
switzerland in the european series and for sure the most
beautifully races from 2011/2012.

we were back in klatovy for round 3
and 4 in the European champ 2012
and how
!!!!!!
After the Friday training it looked
so good for our riders.
Good gates, smooth on the track and strong first lines.
Then when we wake up at Saturday it was raining time and the track
was soft and very bad.
In the challenge we had karo and ynske.
They had trouble because of the mud and it was to
heavy but these young girls fought very hard and showed there
respect
karo vertessen got
2nd in girls 13/14, the same on Sunday.
ynske got 6th in
final both days in girls 15 and over.
Then the Saturday round 3 in elite/ junior was
cancelled.
The organisation decided to race both rounds on
Sunday because of the bad weather conditions on Saturday.
Sunday we started on an very bad track and we rode only 2 motos in
both rounds.
I don’t want to think back to this horrible day , organisation and
track.
we had pim de
jong in round 4 with a 5th place in junior men
final and simone
christensen did it very well with a
2nd place in round 3 and an 3rd in round
4 in jw..
hopefully we will have a good track and also a good weekend
in Geneva.

Good job afther weeks of injury with his broken arm.
Looking a lot comfier and stronger on the bike, Ethan looked good in practice at Cheddar for the Brits.
It was clear he was feeling confident as he dominated the motos, quarters and semi taking wins in all.
He was again feeling confident to take the win in the final but being a little too eger, went a bit too early and hit the gate.
Edging out in front down the first straight was not quite enough for him to move across and take the advantageous line into first corner.
A closely fought battle and a couple of attempts to make a move were not quite enough to take the win but a well deserved 2nd. was a good

Aneta Hladikova is the new national elite woman champion of the czech-republic.
Past weekend 10.9.-11.9. 2011 national championship in Czech republic was held in Mikovice/ Uherske Hradiste. Saturday´s race was the most important race of year for challenge categories, because the winners took the title of CZ champion! It was also 3rd round of CZ national championship for Junior and Elite men. We had little bit over 200 riders and beatiful weather for racing! For once girls didn´t compete with boys 15/16, but in lonely category EW 15+. I was able to win all my motos with comfortable lead and took another national champion title for 12th time in my career. JM/EM race was won by rider from Slovakia - Milan Krebs, Stepan Tumpach got 2nd and Petr Mühlhans 3rd. Another national championhip was held on sunday - this time for Clubs and teams. As we don´t have many riders in my club, we didn´t participate in this race that was won by team from Mikovice - Tufir team.
