How To Jump A Spine On A BMX Bike

April 24, 2018

Want to learn how to jump a spine on a BMX bike? Here’s a video where Brant Moore shows you how to get it done!

When you’re just starting out riding BMX, or just riding ramps in general, learning how to jump a spine is pretty tricky. It’s not necessarily super hard, but it is a little bit of a mental hurdle to get past. Here’s a video where Brant, and two others that showed up at the park, gives you a bunch of tips and examples on how to jump a spine on a BMX bike. Hit play, take it all in, grab your bike and send it over the nearest spine ramp you can find!

“Starting out riding bmx and rolling up to a skatepark can be extremely intimidating.
Chances are there is a pre fab skatepark with a smaller spine close by to most people starting out and while it might look extremely scary, a small spine is one of the easiest scary obstacles to tackle.

This video covers the basic approach and prerequisites to jumping a spine as well as shows examples of each.

I hope that it can be of use to anyone interested in learning to jump a spine on a bmx bike!” – Brant Moore

ACT Jam 2018

April 24, 2018

Get a look at what went down at the annual ACT Jam down in Australia!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JumSvRmsM50

The footage from this years ACT Jam down in Australia is starting to roll in. This annual even put on by the guys at Back Bone BMX is 3 days of amazing riding and good times at different parks and trails. This video that Murli Dhir put together is filled with 10 minutes of footage from the Pros to the locals, along with a good look at just how many people turn out to this event during the first two days of parks. So good. Hit play and enjoy, and expect to see plenty more from this one soon!

“This was the first ever ACT Jam I’ve been to. I decided to make a video because I figured this is one of the biggest things in Australian BMX. I’ve never made something like this but I’m pretty stoked on all of it. The weekend was incredible and I don’t think the video does it justice. I missed out on someone doing a 900 air (I think it was a guy called Mini) but yeah that happened. I also didn’t get to film the Dirt jumps on the last day but this is what I managed to produce.

Check out riding from a bunch of bloody good riders including: Cody Pollard, Dylan Lewis, Jason Watts, JIMMY, Chris James, Alex Hiam, Chris Harti, Jacman Hinss, Jake Wallwork, Boyd Hilder, Jayden Fong, Denby Chandler, Zachary Hutera, CHOWGY, Josh Dove, Tyrone Edwards, Chris Nicol & many more.

To the guy who attempted to flip bar/tbog Weston’s spine multiple times, you are honestly insane. To send that trick again and again after huge slams, you are incredible man.

Thanks to:
Backbone BMX for the whole weekend, Jack Spooner for driving and being an all round maddog, Dom for helping us with locks and telling us where some showers were and all the people there for making it one of the best weekends of my life.

This one is 3 hours long, so it’s the longest interview for “The BMX In Our Blood” Podcast, but it’s a real good listen! Hit that play button and take it all in.

“Trey Jones is one passionate and determined 25 year old. He has already put down two major BMX events with Swamp Fest 1 and 2 as well as being sponsored by two major companies for over ten years combined, Cult and now Subrosa. Trey is proud to call Central Florida home and equally as proud to be a Lynyrd Skynyrd listening redneck that drives a 1979 TransAm as though he is Burt Reynolds. In the interview we cover the good, the bad and more good as we discuss the ups and downs of Swamp Fest and the responsibilites of being a pro that sometimes involve having some thick skin. I found Trey to be enthusiastic, proud, passionate and ready to talk at length on any topic…and so we did! Follow Trey through @treyjonesucks on IG, www.florideah.com or through his sponsors…
