With million dollar cars roaming the streets and hundred million dollar yachts filling the harbor, Monaco is a place for the super elite. And last weekend it was a place for nearly 100 flatland riders from around the globe. This is the story of my journey from the U.S. to Paris to Monaco all in the name of seeing flatland prevail in an unreal locale.

For all the photos you see here on ridebmx.com and gracing the pages of Ride BMX every month there are still countless more random shots that we never seem to find a use for. That being said, here is a collection of such photos I shot in Austin, Texas, and Southern California during the month of March. While some of these shots relate to BMX more than others, I think they’re all interesting in some way.

You might be familiar with Leif Valin the flatlander, but what about Leif the artist? He has been sending me e-mails with drawings and other random things he made for the last three years and I’ve been saving them in a folder aptly named “Leif Artfolio.” After amassing a collection of 25 of Leif’s pieces, I figured it was time for me to share some them with the rest of the BMX community. So here are a few of my favorites from those e-mails and a few of Leif’s most recent works, as well.

We shot photos along the way and did interviews with each rider afterward to bring you this Ride BMX exclusive feature.

Arno Van Rossem from Belgium wrote to us this morning to let us know that the Belgium BMX scene is going through a really rough time right now. Newpact, their local indoor park, recently burned to the ground, destroying all of the ramps and a bunch of the locals’ bikes. Here are some photos of the fire and aftermath, as well as a few videos of the park.

I love shooting black and white travel photos so when I went to Estonia for Simpel Session last month I took my film body and a few rolls of T-Max hoping to shoot some scenery and a bit of street riding around Tallinn. However, the cold was too rough for most keeping the riding to a minimum so what we have here is a small glimpse of the town and the BMX lifestyle that invaded it for a week.

There’s always more to a contest weekend than the few hours of insane riding so we put together this random photo gallery from some of our time spent in Estonia while not on the contest course.

While doing some end of the year cleaning I came across this selection of photos from Mike Saavedra’s spot in Riverside, California—the Blue Bench Trails. I originally shot the images thinking they may make it into the magazine as a “Glimpse” spread, but they never got used. So here they are…no riding, just cool shots of piles of dirt and garbage.
