This news bit is coming from our good friend Gerrit Does over in Holland. Gerrit was one of the first people in Europe to get MCS on the map over there. One of the criteria was winning 3 World Championships Manufacturer Trohies of which one was with MCS BICYCLES! So I thought that I would share this email that I got from him...

Dear friends in BMX,
Something very special happened to me last Friday and I am more then proud to tell you in short my story. Fridaymorning April 25th I was waiting for Louis Vrijdag (former President of UCI BMX department) to go together on our motorcycles to a BMX race in Weiterstadt - Germany. The Höpping family is organising this Old Skool and National event and the European Championships next week. At the same track the Worlds will be organised in 2010, so we wanted to see this new track! I also wanted to go there to promote our Old Skool of BMX Reunion in Slagharen, October 3 -5 th 2008.

Anyway, I was ready to go and waiting for Louis to arrive. We had planned to leave at about 10.00 hours. Then suddenly a group of 14 people came into my garden in nice clothing and suites including Louis. I thought, what the HACK is this !!! Right away their spokesman told me...
