The IMBXFF World Championships 2009, aka the BMX Worlds presented by Rockstar, will be coming to you LIVE for the first time in it’s 25 year history, courtesy of Freecaster.tv.

Freecaster.tv and their partners, Braun Shavers and Nike 6.0, will be bringing you all the action direct from the Cologne Jugendpark from July 11th – 12th. The LIVE webcasts will offer BMX fans a rare opportunity to watch the contests as they unfold in Park, Dirt, Vert, Miniramp and Flatland. With over 300 participants from about 40 nations competing to be crowned “World Champion”, there promises to be an epic battle in every discipline.

“This is the perfect way to celebrate our 25th anniversary” declares an enthusiastic Stephan Prantl, Chief Coordinator of the BMX Worlds “We always have great attendance onsite, and people always check-out our highlights after the event, but to suddenly be able to offer the excitement of LIVE contests to everyone via the internet is a massive leap forward for us”.

“We always strive to make the BMX Masters better every year, in an effort to keep the contest fresh for the riders and their sponsors” adds Robert Möller, the Partnership Manager “Having a LIVE feed from the event adds a new dimension for everyone involved. The riders have an opportunity to increase their exposure amongst a larger audience, whilst the brands benefit from increased reach of the event in a very innovative and high quality way”.

“The BMX Worlds will mark another first for Freecaster.tv too” announced Raymond Dulieu, CEO and Founder of Freecaster.tv. “We have been managing LIVE web casts for nearly 2 years now, but this is the first time we will be responsible for the entire TV production of an event, from the cameras and cameramen, right through to the end product appearing on computer screens around the globe. These are exciting times and we look forward to delivering a great show”
