The Eurobike trade show is about to start in Friedrichshafen, Germany. The 2010 Mirraco bikes will be shown by La Finca on booth number 202 in Hall B4.
The Extreme Playgrounds Summer Session contest in Hamburg, Germany took place over the weekend. Mirraco rider Alessandro Barbero came over from Italy to ride the head to head comp. 
Don't be surprised when you see Nigel Sylvester on the television next time you switch it on. 
The video from La Plagne, France. The FISE Experience contest that Barbero won. If you don't know who to look for, it's the rider wearing the RedBull helmet. Damn, it's black and white so even that is hard to see. Uh, he did a 360-triple whip, a flair-whip, barspin backflip, tailwhip to ice to over so maybe that helps pointing out the Mirraco rider.
Why type things up when you can say it in a video. You press the play button and get the info from the man himself. Easy enough?
If you think these FISE experience stops are easy, I can tell you that the guy in second place does triple whips and opposite double whips with ease. Alessandro Barbero cannot cruise to a win by any means but he managed to pull off one more in La Plagne, France. With the brand new FIAT car on the line at the end of the series Ale did some good business last weekend. Congrats.
No, Harry Main isn't riding already but he's itching to get back on the bike. He just needs to be patient before he hops on the bike again after he terribly broke his leg in July of this year.

Dave Mirra managed to score a podium place in Portland, OR last weekend at the second round of the 2009 Dew Tour series. This way he doesn't have to qualify for the finals at the next event in Salt Lake City as he's sitting in joint first place in the Park discipline. 
Dave Mirra continues to score well in the Park competition at the 2009 Dew Tour series. In Portland he scored a second place behind Garrett Reynolds. They are now tied for first place in the 2009 Dew Tour championships series standings.
22 riders, 9 spots. Mirraco riders Alessandro Barbero, Andy Buckworth, and Ryan Guettler missed the cut for the finals in Park. See how they ended up in the qualification results list below:
The Dirt finals in Portland Oregon already took place and Ryan Guettler scored a solid 6th place. Here are the final results:
Just imagine, you've ridden like crazy to be ready for a contest. You do all you have to do to get there, get a hotel, all that stuff. When you're ready for the comp, someone has stolen your bike. Yup, that is BAD news. It happened to Austin Coleman at the Dew Tour in Portland, Oregon yesterday and he needs his bike back. Mirraco is offering a Blend 1 for the person that gets Austin his bike back (no questions asked) before he has to ride.

Alessandro Barbero is non-stop. He's everywhere. If there is a contest, most likely Alessandro is there. That means he's got the camera's pointed on him too. This time he got some coverage in Czech's online magazine LoveBMX.
Here are three more colour combos of the 2010 Mirraco street bikes plus some further info:
Heavily influenced by team rider Nigel Sylvester, the all new line of street bikes is now in stock. Three of the new models, including the EDit, Luxstar, and Gambino are now shipping to dealers in the US. Retail pricing starts in the low $300 range and will top out at $800 with the Chocolate model, scheduled for release in September.
VANS are taking their riders that are competing in the Dew Tour to their store at
When you win contests there's a good chance you get a photo in a magazine. Ryan Guettler got first at an ASA Big Air Triples event earlier in the year and gets a full page shot in the September issue of BMX Plus!
The people at Freecaster broadcasted the X-Games live on the the net. They now have the top 5 runs of each BMX discipline up on their site. It also has Dave Mirra's Bronze medal winning Big Air run that you can watch below:
Alessandro Barbero has been co-sponsored by Oakley for a while now. The Italian Mirraco rider has been aiming to get his own poster by Oakley and the moment is finally there. 
All four street bikes are new from the ground up and feature street specific frames, 25/9 gearing, tall bars, sealed mid BBs, and plastic Pedals. Unlike the competition, even the base model EDit features CRMO top and down tubes and CRMO fork legs to shed weight and improve strength. The look is clean and simple.
It was a good week for Ryan Guettler. After winning the Nike contest in HB he won the ASA comp in Costa Mesa and made it to the X-Games finals. He finished fourth in that. Here are the final results and his run at the X-Games.
Vital BMX have put up a movie clip of Ryan Guettler riding his own backyard ramps. The place is pretty sick. See the most localest local shred it to pieces in the following clip:
Ryan Guettler qualified for the SuperPark finals at X-Games 15. The Australian finished in sixth place in a big field with the top 10 making finals. Good luck to Ryan at the main event.
Coming off a strong weekend in Huntington Beach, Ryan Guettler and Andy Buckworth also rode at the Big Air Triple contest in Costa Mesa. The set-up at the fairgrounds suited both Mirraco riders well. Two jumps followed by a quarterpipe was the set up and here are the results:
Dave Mirra raked up another medal at the X-Games. This time a Bronze in Big Air. Congrats Dave.X Games 15 Big Air Final Results
