I LOVE BFC.COM

Down near the south coast just outside of Hailsham, the first round of the BFC and Remolition.com Cream Teas and Jam series got off to a start on the 13th of June. Knockhill MBC had been groomed to perfection with rails, wallrides and jumps being perfectly prepared for the first big event of the season.

The day began with an informal competition for the kids which saw some top class racing and freestyle antics from the local riders who were all under 14: 1st place went to Ralph Mitchell who displayed awesome board control and super style throughout the jam.

For the open riders the centre was divided into 4 zones where riders would ride in a short jam session with the results being worked out by riders nominating their top 5 riders in each zone, a 1st place nomination resulted in a rider winning 5 points, a 2nd place winning 4 points and 3rd place winning 3 points and so on. The results from each zones were then added together to produce the overall results.

The standard of riding was epic and boundaries were certainly pushed throughout the day. The 1st zone consisted of a drop off or rail into a wallride and barrel jib feature, highlights included Gary Crowhursts switch backside 720 off of the drop as well as his wallride to backflip attempt. The 2nd zone was literally littered with rails and riders once again pushed the standard of rail riding at knockhill with Simon Andrews and Dave Compton sliding, grinding and jibbing everything in sight. The 3rd zone included quarter pipes and a crazy, original wallride feature with coping along the top and a kicker onto it which was shut down by the mad skills and skate style tricks of riders like Ryan Roberts. The final zone was a more traditional type of competition feature; a dirt tabletop jump. Riders put on a spectacular freestyle show which included backflips, frontflips, rodeos, switch flips, 540s and 720s from the likes of Matt Brind.

After a break for cream teas (obviously with jam!) the riders votes were collated and the top 3 were announced: in 3rd place with 177 points was Matt Brind, 2nd place went to Simon Andrews with 180 points and winning the first round of the Cream Teas and Jam series was Gary Crowhurst with 189 points!

The day was rounded off perfectly with the premier of the 2009 BFC DVD “We’ll Apologise Later” which showcased the mountainboarding antics of the BFCs european adventures last year. The film was a great success and even the weather couldn’t stop the party going on late into the night.

Thanks a lot to anyone who provided prizes for the first Cream Teas and Jam event, all the MBS, ATBShop, Remolition and Trampa prizes were spot on with riders winning some quality stash on the day! Like most snow/skate events we gave away spot prizes for cool tricks and everyone had a massive blast!

Thanks to Monster Energy Drinks for keeping the riders pumped up and fuelled throughout the day!

Finally a mega thanks must go to Roger and Kim at Knockhill MBC who hosted the event, provided cash prizes for the top 3 winners as well as baking 100 scones for a Cream Tea break halfway through the day!

In other news Tom Kirkman is making a swift recovery and is set to be back on form for the season and we managed to find some proof that he is actually half man half boarding machine!

We also regret to announce that our beloved friend and riding buddy James “Muller” Mullholland passed away recently, Muller was one of the nicest guys we ever met and its going to suck this year not being able to rock around with him drinking beer and sitting round camp fires after mountainboarding all day. Put simply Muller was a true legend and will be missed by the whole mountainboard community. Ride in peace man.

Please check out the tribute gallery to Muller on Crillpix

Wheyyyyyy! We hope you all had a wicked christmas and are in for an awesomely Happy New Year!

2008 has been a super year for us, we held our first event down at Knockhill Mountainboard Centre which went down really well, the relaxed jam format saw rail riding being pushed and the premier of Like This was awesome fun, so thanks to all of you who came down!

Like This was released and has been distributed all accross the globe as far away as japan, russia and australia! We are now down to our last few copies, if you havent seen it yet then get in touch on the usual address rhys . bfc @ gmail . com  and hopefully we can sort something out!

Us guys seemed to have a wicked year at competitions throughout the UK and Europe with the ATBA UK series being as smooth as ever with some absolutley mental elite jams and some quality racing.  The Fat face Night Air at Bugs Boarding was too wet for the finals but we had a great time jamming with people from all over the world!

We’ve had a wicked year filming and have got footage from all over the place with some new riders like Matt Brind, Jed Hornyold, James Sleigh, Tuai Lovejoy and Ryan Slater getting involved on our euro trip which saw some mental mountainboarding with 720s, 540s and some siiiiick rail riding being thrown all over the place!

2009 is set to be an awesome year with the release of our next dvd which will still be free and will have an even bigger print run meaning we can get it out all over the world to more people as well as Cream Teas and Jam which is set to turn into an event series with 3 (possibly more) events held throughout europe meaning more of you can come and get involved in the most fun events ever! We are getting closer to having an online shop on the siteand we have some fun ideas for apparell which will be affordable, quality and fun, keep your eyes peeled!

A massive thanks to all our sponsors who made Like This possible, but an even bigger thanks to all you people out there who have supported us and have kept it real in 2008!

heres to 2009 being bigger and better than ever! woooooooooooooooooooooo!

love, the BFC x
