a lot more than just gate starts and sprints. Photo by rilabetes.

Here’s another set of great photos from our Flickr group. Thanks to everyone who keeps contributing to it. Keep it up!

There’s officially 3 days left to our Sticker Contest but if it’s a good entry, we may let some stragglers creep in over the weekend. We’ll announce the winner on Monday.

Outside of Flickr, we geek out on these internet hang-outs too: MySpace, VitalBMX and Facebook.

Dreams, available Nov. 4th

Dreams - Available Nov. 4th

Terry Adams sent us an update today about his solo DVD. It’ll be available through FlatlandFuel.com on November 4th. Here’s what he had to say about it:

“This film is a story of my life as a professional flatland rider. I discuss my views on media coverage, contest, my love for flatland, and how I have made riding my bike a career. Mickey Gaidos and I set out to produce and film a movie that is structured not only as a flatland video but a story of motivation and how one person can make anything happen if they believe in their self. Taking your childhood dreams and making them come true is possible for anyone. I wanted to let everyone know that if you want something, you need to push for it and never give it. After one year of very hard work. Mickey gaidos and I are proud to announce that “Dreams” will be available at www.flatlandfuel.com on November 4th. Please order a copy and truly appreciate a film that was meant for all of you to stay motivated, Ride Hard, and keep all your dreams alive.”

Terry Adams flatland battle

Terry Adams just returned from the King of Ground contest in Tokyo Japan. He wound up getting 7th place and 5th in the World Circuit points. Above is the battle he won against Dominik Nekonly, from the Check Republic.

I was pretty stoked on the way I rode. With 56 riders in Pro flat, I felt lucky to be in the top 10.

We’re flowing some treats to the Kink / Red Bull’s Trick or Treat Jam this weekend and they’ll be raffling it off with proceeds going toward the Mike Aitken Fund. Full flyer after the jump.

If you can’t make it to the Trick or Treat Jam, make sure to check out last week’s post and maybe you’ll find one near you to attend.

Aaron Ross Tear Away Denim

Just like your favorite pair of jeans, this new signature saddle by Aaron Ross is great brand new and outstanding worn in. Keep the denim for a while or rip it off right away. This two-in-one saddle looks good either way.

*Make sure to leave the dark denim. That part stays.
