Right now, freestyle motocross is experiencing a bit of a slow streak, but as soon as Red Bull X-Fighters kicks off in April, you can bet that everything will be back to its usual chaotic ways. However, even though the competition scene may seem a bit slow, there's actually quite a lot going on.

First off, we have to give a HUGE congratulations to Cam Sinclair. After nearly losing his life on a failed double backflip, Cam is not only back on the bike and shredding the ramps, but he's preparing to throw the double backflip yet again. For footage of Cam hucking the double flip into his foam pit, as well as a behind the scenes video of a recent Fox Racing photo shoot, check out his official website, www.camsinclair.com.au. We've been reaching out to him for an interview, so hopefully we'll hear something back soon. Could you imagine if he just showed up at the Red Bull X-Fighters in Mexico City and just threw down the double flip?

In other Aussie news, between getting his tricks re-dialed due to recent surgeries, Blake "Bilko" Williams has been trying his hand video editing. That's right Cliff Talley, Bilko is gunning for your job and who better to get firsthand footage than the man himself? To check out Bilko's very first video, click here.

Back in the states, the Nuclear Cowboyz tour and the Gravity Slashers tour are keeping the majority of the riders busy, but between the shows, the boys have been riding and staying sharp at their compounds. A lot of people have actually been riding at Jimmy Fitzpatrick's place as of late. After rebuilding most of the compound, it's no wonder Fitzland is riding a wave of popularity. While shooting some FMX riding in Temecula, our friends over at TransWorld Motocross hooked up with Nate Adams for a quick interview about his Supercross attempt, DEFT Family and the two-stroke to four-stroke movement. It's really funny because even though Nate gave a really good interview, the always ruthless commenters on TransWorld's website have got into an arguing match about the ongoing four-stroke vs. two-stroke debate. Click here to check out Nate's TW interview.
