The Last Baco-A-Go-Go Jam

August 21, 2017

All good things must come to an end… Or something like that!

BACO-A-GO-GO Flyer

Welp, here’s some news we quite honestly didn’t think we would get the chance to tell you about ever again after last years bash… The Baco guys are throwing one last BACO-A-GO-GO Jam at the Jellystone Skatepark in Warrens, Wisconsin. This is the final jam unfortunately because the campground is getting rid of the skatepark to make room for a Mini Golf Course… I wish that was a joke. Either way, because of that this is bound to be a damn good time. The jam is Saturday, September 30th, so start planning your trip!

Animal Bikes – Loud Pack Promo featuring Jonny Raekes

August 21, 2017

When we saw the name of the new Backpack from Animal Bikes we instantly had a flashback of the Osiris G-Bag and having to use the backpack to carry around all the D batteries it burned through with its speakers… After further inspection the Loud Pack from Animal is not actually a backpack with speakers, but it is a solid backpack that is built to take on the added abuse of cruising around the streets with it on. Below you can check out a promo video featuring Johnny Raekes cruising with it, along with a few teaser clips for his new video dropping later this week. After that, we have photos and more details on the backpack!

Evan Brandes Welcome to Haro & Traffic Distribution

August 21, 2017

Haro Bikes have added Evan Brandes to their lineup over in Germany through Traffic Distribution! Here’s a welcome video from a few productive sessions at his local skatepark showing us just what he’s got for tricks. Check it out!

“Even 10 years ago I knew that one day Evan needed the big companies and mailers of the BMX scene Edits and from contest to contest. And it was also clear, Braunschweig is and remains his local spot. So I was not surprised when he came to me this summer and we started filming in the Why’O’land. In spite of violent falls and massive material murder, a “welcome edit” has emerged, which literally goes under cover.” – Christoph Neddermeyer
