Chad Kerley came up on a 3rd place finish in the Dew Tour street jam impressing the crowd with some highly technical tricks and smooth style on a very tight obstacle area. Also competing against the best park riders in the world, as a street rider, Chad finished 9th overall and was a crowd favorite due to his street influenced style and technical wizardry.

Brian Kachinsky killed rails as well in the street course but came up short. Jeremiah Smith was on the injured list and did not compete.

Congrats CK and BK!

Chad Kerley has re-signed another 2-year deal to rep Bell Helmets during contests. Chad is stoked to continue to be part of the biggest helmet company in the world.

Congrats Chad.

RPRT athletes dominated the podium for BMX park at the Kia World Extreme Games this weekend. Jeremiah Smith took gold at the contest and Brian Kachinsky got bronze. The Games are held in Shanghai and riders from around the world come to compete.

Congrats Miah and BK!

Recently the RPRT street BMX crew went to Chicago to meet up with RPRT’s Brian Kachinsky at his private, newly located, facility The Bakery. Four days of intense 10-18 hour days of riding went down and what ensued is nothing short of incredible.

Please visit www.insidethebakery.com to see the amazing riding that went down.

Congrats to David Gonzalez, 2012 Thrasher Magazine Skater of the Year, for topping the illustrious Transworld Business Exposure Meter for the month of April. The index tallies a mix of editorial coverage and advertising placement.

Curren wowed the audience in Barcelona this weekend with a first place finish in qualifiers and a silver medal in finals just losing the gold to Pedro Barros by a couple points. Style was definitely on the judges minds as they scored Curren high for landing tre flips and frontside flips where nobody else would have.

In BMX, Chad Kerley and Jeremiah Smith both made BMX Park finals but just missed the mark with a 4th and 6th place finish respectively.

David Gonzalez had to back out of X Games and Street League due to a death in the family but will be back for Munich.

BMX wunderkind Chad Kerley is officially a GoPro athlete. Joining the ranks of other top RPRT athletes Jeb Corliss and Roberta Mancino, Chad’s name will be synonymous with GoPro’s coverage of street BMX.

With the proliferation of CK edits and footage as of late, it will be insane to see some POV action from him.

Congrats on the new sponsor Chad.

Ben Nordberg has signed a two year deal with AYC apparel. What is AYC? What does it stand for? Who is behind it? Who is on the team? We can’t tell you yet but in July all will become apparent.

Ben is currently finishing his Berrics “Recruit” which comes out Saturday. He will be wearing some AYC gear so keep your eyes peeled.

Coming off a first and second place at their last amateur contest, Louie Lopez and Curren Caples made their pro debut alongside RPRT client and Flip team mate David Gonzalez. All three skaters ripped up the qualifiers with Curren ending off 7th and Louie 10th overall.

Though they didn’t make it out of the semi’s all three finished in the top 20 overall.

Good work boys. Word on their pro boards to come soon.
