Hello ,
I am emailing you about being a team rider I don't know if this is were you send an email saying about sending your race credentials to you, i don't know if this is the right place so i will just send it here :)
I am 13 and i have been into bikes for mainly most of my life when i was about 6 or 7 i started to drive some old moped that my dad got or free and i was driving that for a couple of years and then when i was about 10 my dad brought be a midi moto which i still use now and i can do little wheelies but the bike is not as powerful enough and then later on this year i brought a mini dirt bike 49cc the person who i brought it off put on racing parts like new high performance springs ect i have been riding that for 6 - 8 weeks you can pull wheelies on it but because it is soo light you just go over the top you can also pull endos ok but the best thing you can do is jump on it but it breaks occasionally once the shock snapped at the bottom so we had to get a new one and when we brought it the back break was soo hard to pull so i fixed that with the help on my bike, I have damaged it by doing a jump that i made it was quite big probably half way between my knee and my hip and i jumped and tried to flick the back of the bike out but i kind of failed it and i landed on the wheel but then i don't really know how the bike flipped on the side and ripped the foot peg in half so i got straight back up and done it again with the peg still broke and then i realized that it needed fixing and then today i went on the bike with my friend and my brother and he made a ramp and i jumped that it was a little bit smaller than my one but i went quite far i done it twice and then i herd this rattling it was the exhaust it was about to fall off! I sent this email because i was wondering do you know if i can be part of the team or is that a bit too far fetched or if not do you know anywhere to get a pit bike cheap about £150 i don't really mind if it is second hand.
Thank you

Vid from ma man Alex in Cologne
If you haven’t seen this already, it's well worth a watch. Yes, if you recognise it, a lot of the footage is from around Jugen Park where the BMX masters take place & these guys are involved in Camp Ramps who built the street course for the 2009 BMX worlds. Unfortunately Alex has a pretty bad fracture atm (minibike related) & therefore he won't be able to make any more vide for a while...so we'll just have to keep watching this for now.. it's pretty darn sick though eh!

Mark Webb Back from Dew Tour with Pit Bikes on his mind
After spending the last month chilling & competing in the US in both the X-Games & Dew Tour in BMX (promoting his company total BMX), Mark Webb is back in the UK & he has only one thing on his mind, finishing what he started before he went away. before Mark went away he completed a perfect backflip into foam on his stomp 120 pit bike. Now he wants to build a dirt jump to complete the flip onto solid ground. Knowing Mark, I doubt very much it will end there, this is simply where it starts....watch this space.

Stomp Mechanic On His JB3!!!!
in response to the below news thread about the new ACE50, this is our very own Luke Humphries ragging the shyte out of his Stomp Juicebox 3 - mini. We think the video is worthy of a mention, especially considering how shit his previous videos have been (HAHA), this one is shweeeeet!!! well done Luke you have a very rare sought after bike there, best keep hold of it & nice riding btw
Worth also mentioning that Luke is currently leading the Midsize Clubman in the minibike masters series & he uses his JB3 for practise & bike fitness training.

BRAND NEW ACE50
The latest model from Stomp is the ACE50. Ever since we have been in business we have been asked for a decent quality mini that can take a beating on the race circuit & stand up to the rigors of jumping with a 15 stone adult aboard. The market for us has always been too small to consider, however, there is a trend in the UK market heading back to the original 'fun' side of minibiking & thus we have responded with the ACE50. Personally, we love the mini's & choose to ride them over the bigger midsize & race machines when we go out riding (all of us at Stomp have the Juicebox 3 to play on). These are gonna sell out real fast, but not before we get our greasy hands on one each to play with.
ACE50 spec
Lifan 49 cc 4-stroke semi auto - Mikuni 22 carb
Mandril bent performance pipe with Stomp Race series Oval muffler
Cro-mo cradle frame
DNM adjustable rebound & preload shock
Aloy swinger with 3 position mount to adjust ride height (allows a 12" front wheel to be fitted without effecting geometry)
SDG 56 mm forks
SDG hubs with alloy rims
Innova 10" race tyres

Doncaster Kermode Takes 2nd, Coker takes 3rd
Lee Kermode (27) Stomp factory rider took 2nd place over-all at Doncaster matching his podium finish from the last Round at Cardiff. This places him 3rd overall in the UK minibike masters midsize open. It all boils down to the final round at Dartford in two weeks time where lee will contunue his battle to the end with rivals Trevor Scott (SP Landscapes) and Pat Crump (Pitster Pro).
Meanwhile in Open Mini, the minibike legend that is Luke Coker (11 & 111) had a significantly more luck with his bikes at Doncaster after carb problems & de-chaining issues at the last round (Cardiff). A DNF at Cardiff knocked him off the top spot for the title down into 4th position. Although the bike was running fine at Donny, Luke just couldn't find his rythem & settled for 3rd overall for the day. This should place him back up to 3rd overall for the championship, but hey this is racing & anything can happen. The points are very close at the top & a single DNF could swing the results in any direction. Currently Monster Moto's Grant Dyer leads the championship...we await the final outcome at Dartford & wish both our factory riders the best of luck.
