Rampworx hosted once again a FREE Summer Clinic, in partnership with Merseyrail, Merseytravel and C.A.L.M. The clinic took place during the school holidays for 3 days, July 27th/28th/29th. Each day we catered for a different sport with the Rampworx coaches.
We would like to thank everyone who attended the clinic and to all our sponsors that backed the event.

The Eastern Bikes team popped over to the UK last month for a cup of tea and to shred a selection of parks in the UK. Rampworx was one of those parks, check out the video.
Kelly Bolton and Josh Perry went to England to check out some local shops, ride parks and hit the NASS contest. We met up with Eastern rider, Scott Hamlin who was with us the entire trip keeping us laughing the whole time.
A few months back Nike 6.0 shipped off a bunch of their riders from around the globe for a tour of Asia. One of those riders was Rampworx local Jason Phelan. Check the video out to see what went down.
China is fast becoming one of the most talked about countries for BMX, so it only made sense for the Nike 6.0 crew to spend some time riding the country, while attending the Asian X Games. Garrett Reynolds, Dennis Enarson, Alex Kennedy and Jason Phelan made the trip to score some X Games medals, shred Shanghai/Beijing and ride with the locals as part of the Stoked Tour.
You can now vote for you favourite Ride to Glory section online! Make sure you head on over to the RideUK site and check out the sections. A lot of Rampworx locals where on this tour from riders to videographers, make sure you check all the videos out.

A few weeks ago Rampworx local and DK rider Anthony Watkinson hopped on a train and got himself down to London for a few days. The fisrt morning we were up at 5am to get to the American Embassy in time for Wocko’s final ‘Athlete VISA’ interview. After waiting outside for an hour, I decided to film a few bits to document what was going on, but within a matter of minutes two squad cars bursting with fully armed police rolled up and questioned us. No messin’! We got away with no problems… And a secured VISA for Wocko! We spent the next couple of days riding some local parks and watching England ‘play football’ at the pub. Before being up at 5am again to get to the O2 store in time for the release of the iPhone 4! The early bird catches the worm… A quick session at Farnborough before Watkinson was back on the train home, with a some dope clips under his belt, aswell as a new iPhone 4 and an Athlete VISA.’

Rampworx local Anthony Watkinson is in for a busy Summer, he has been traveling around Europe the past couple of weeks hitting up the contest and now he is off to the USA to hit up the Dew Tour. He will be posting regular updates on the blog whilst he is away for a few months!
Keep checking back for more updates…
Tony came back to Liverpool for 24 hours after floating around Europe for a few weeks, just enough time to wash some clothes, pack again and then catch a train down to London just in time to catch a flight to Chicago! He sent us this picture just before boarding his 10 hour flight
It’s been 1 year since Lance McDermott last showed off his skills in a contest. A broken leg sustained in a BMX crash June 2009 (See it in the video), followed by a major failure in his first operation has had Lance sitting on the sideline watching on so far in 2010. Despite signing a deal for the newly revitalized UK brand Saracen in 2010 it is only now he is getting his leg back over a bike and pushing towards the standard of riding we all know him for. A few weeks ago I headed to meet Lance, shoot some video and see him as he pushes back towards full fitness in an attempt to be able to compete at Crankworx in a few weeks. Read the full interview here.
If you where at NASS on the weekend you more than likely saw Rampworx local Sam Ward killing the street course in the BMX competition. Nonstopvid just released a video of Sam’s fall at the contents on his 3rd attempt at this insane gap, he had to be stretchered off to hospital after this attempt. Everyone at Rampworx wishes Sam a speedy recovery.
