March 19, 2015

Here’s a rad one we spotted over on Can You Dig It featuring Jackson Jenkins getting some laps in the the Tejano trails down in Texas! This place looks super fun to ride and Jackson brings a good mix of tricks and style making for a good watch! Enjoy!

“This was a fun video that was made during a session at Tejano Trails in Pflugerville, TX. Nothing fancy in this edit, I spent most of the time doing scrubs and whips and just flowing. Huge shout out to all the locals there doing work and letting me and my friends catch some laps.

“Attention Stalybridge” – Full Video

March 19, 2015

Gotta love when a video like the “Attention Stalybrige” video pops up online! This video based out of the UK came out back in 2008, but had nearly 10 years of footage mixed throughout the entire thing! There is a lot that changed in that time period and even more that has changed since 2008! One thing that didn’t change is that there is some kickass riding that doesn’t disappoint. Enjoy!

25th Anniversary Mini Fat Jam Flyer

March 19, 2015

If you live near Aarle-Rixtel in the Netherlands and you’re looking for a good time, Fat BMX are throwing their 25th anniversary Mini Fatjam that will be going down at the Sugar Hills Trails! Get the full details below!

“25th anniversay of the Mini FATJAM.

Back in 1990 we were happy to see that the local council had given us a place to ride our bikes in the dirt. That place at De Valkendijk needed some work and in April we invited over some friends for a session to open up the outdoor season. That turned out to be the first Mini FATJAM, the little brother of the summer edition of the annual FATJAM that started a few years before that. Anyway, fast forward 25 years and the dirt spot at De Valkendijk is still there being used by the BMX locals all year. Two days out of the year it’s time to prepare the jumps a little better for the visitors. This year the season opener will take place on March 28th, the 25th edition of the Mini FATJAM.
Once again the happening will be free for all BMX riders. You show up and you ride whatever you want to ride. The small roller lines, the bigger line, the killer jump, some flatland on the grass, or the 040BMX Airbag that will be up for everyone to enjoy. It’s time to ride BMX on March 28th and we’ve got more goodies than ever before so leaving Aarle-Rixtel without some sort of prize is next to impossible as long as you’re joining the riding session at the Sugar Hills Trails.

When the jam is over, part two of the event starts: The Afterparty! We’re in Mooon’s hometown and they’ve just released their new CD so a gig by them is more than likely going to happen on Saturday 28 March.

What: Mini FATJAM, 25th edition.
Where: Sugar Hills Trails, Aarle-Rixtel, Netherlands
Why: For the good times
When: March 28th 2015. Starts at 13:00hr. Session ends at 18:00hr. Then the afterparty will start.
Who: BMX fans from all over who like Bikes, Beers, & Bitches.

Twitter: FATJAM
Hashtag: #minifatjam

Make sure you have a place to stay for the night of March 28th. Here’s an option:
www.aldorrum.nl (Camping, B&B) or check any of the online booking sites for anything that suits you and your company.

The 25th edition is supported by: Vans, Haro, EBC, Tioga, Red Bull, Mutant Bikes, Incase, Ride TSG, 040BMXPARK, AES, FATBMX, Red Bull and Paul’s Boutique.”

Tom Takenouchi – 13 Year Old Flatland

March 19, 2015

It’s awesome seeing the young guns getting good at flatland! Tom Takenouchi from Kobe, Japan is only 13 and already starting to lay down some dialed moves. It’s good to see some kids still know how to work to get things done, because we all know flatland isn’t easy!
