Metro BMX jam SingaporeGuteRyan Guettler, Rob Wise and Dave Mirra got some practice in today at the Metro Jam in Singapore. It is super hot and the guys are sweating like crazy but to get a feel for the ramps you need to get out there.

Prelims are tomorrow after the 9am-1pm practice session. We’ll keep you posted who makes the 16-rider cut. With this strong rider field it will not be an easy task.
