Jakarta BMX – Sahur on the Grind 2015

July 25, 2015

Wow, this is awesome. The crew in Jakarta, Indonesia threw a MASSIVE street jam on July 4th to celebrate BMX day early because on the 17th they would be in the middle of a holiday that requires fasting. They had a HUGE crew of riders, over 300 deep, meet up at 11 PM and they cruised the city until about 4AM blocking off traffic, hitting up spots and having a damn good time. These guys are pretty crazy. They straight up have a session on a manual pad in the middle of what appears to be a SUPER busy street, haha. Check this one out because they’re doing it right over in Jakarta!
