Anthony Laconte just sent through this rad video he put together from some of the lake jumping sessions they’ve been getting on Lake Michigan this summer! This honestly looks amazing right now since it’s going to be a hot one here today!
“It’s a wild and fun scene here in Chicago. Winters are miserable and so are the summers. As BMX riders, we have to find ways of using the weather to our advantage.
A group of BMX friends have made it summer tradition to launch their bikes off a homemade kicker at North Ave beach. Many riders around the area look forward to this Sunday sunrise session.
I finally made it out to one of these awesome get togethers and documented the fun that was had. I’m glad I went with on this day because these guys made a jump they’ve been planning for a while. We were limited to one jump because of severity of the premisis, but Alex Bedoya sent one and boy was it a good one! (last clip)
