Product: GoPro – Hero 4

September 29, 2014

Although this doesn’t have any actual BMX footage in it, I’d imagine there are quite a few of you out there that are considering picking up the new GoPro Hero 4 for filming. After seeing this trailer and seeing that they’ve managed to get 4K quality packed into this little package.. I can only imagine we’ll be seeing some amazing edits surface because of it. I know I want one.

“All around the world GoPro users are capturing incredible experiences, from the heart-stopping to the heartfelt.

Photogallery: 2014 New England Jam Chowda

September 29, 2014

22_600x

Every year there are hundreds of BMX jams and events that happen all over the place. Out of all of those events, there are only a handful that have grown into something much bigger. This past weekend, the 3rd annual New England Jam Chowda went down and, much like the previous two, there was a lot of hype going into it because of how good of an event it really is and you know it didn’t disappoint. We heard rumors last year that this jam was the final one, so we wanted to make sure it was documented! Our friend and photographer, Nick Nogueira, made his way to the jam where he spent the day taking photos of everything from the riding on the ramps to the flatland jam that went down and ended up with a ton of great photos. We pieced together 30 of his best shots featuring the likes of Trey Jones, Paul Barnum, Chad DeGroot, Jake Seeley, Brett Tocco, John Mayo, Eric Hennessey and many more into a photogallery for you guys to enjoy! Take a peek because this might be the last time (we hope not) that this jam happens!

Check out the full photogallery here!

AJ Anaya Leaves S&M Bikes

September 29, 2014

After years with S&M Bikes, AJ Anaya has decided to step away from the team to pursue a new opportunity with Colorado based brand, Reklamation Bikes. Check out the official word from AJ explaining his decision and what the future holds. Sounds like he will have a few new signature items we’ll have to keep an eye out for!

“First and foremost, I want to give thanks to Chris Moeller and the S&M crew. After six years with the S&M team, I am parting ways with the company. It has been an amazing journey and an awesome experience that I am very grateful for. I’m happy to say that I’m leaving on good terms and everything is cool with Moeller and crew.

The reason I’ve decided to part ways with S&M is to take a rad opportunity to start something new with a local bike company here in Colorado. I am now officially riding for Reklamation Bikes. Fred from Reklamation’s has been a great support throughout my career. He has been looking out for me since day one. In fact, Fred gave me my first BMX frame, which happened to be an S&M. It makes the most sense to me to start something new with him, given his support and the trust that we’ve built over the years. I look forward to representing the Reklamation brand.

The relationship with Reklamation will be kicked off by a signature Anayalater frame and bars. Reklamation’s support will ensure that I am on my bike for years to come. This is my second wind!

Please stay on tuned for the release of my signature frame within the next few months.

Also, be sure to check out my new VP edit, which is dropping next day is two. This edit will showcase all of my favorite spots in Colorado, with the one and only Coloradical Dylan Phfol. So I’m really excited about to be releasing it.

I would like to thank all the homies at the building for always helping me out and keeping the wheels rolling. Special thanks to Chris Moeller, Dylan Ambrose, Shawn Macanny, Ryan Russell, and Tyler Halvorsen.

I may no longer be on the team but I will consider S&M as family.

I wish everyone in the building the best of luck and keep kicking ass.

Thanks AJ Anaya

Trails Trippin’ Summer 2014

September 29, 2014

Damn! There has been some AMAZING videos coming from the U.K trails this past week or so! Here’s another gem we spotted on Can You Dig It from a trip to a few different sets around the U.K and France that Inch Thomson and Blaine Mazzetti took! Everything about this video kicks ass.

“Summer 2014 has been an incredible year packed full of riding trails, In between maintaining the Woodyard and riding various spots around the UK and France for the La source Jam I managed to pick the camera up and film a few bits and bobs, along with the help of Fred who came along on the trip with us to France and a further 10 days in the UK with Blaine Mazzetti from California.
“trails epitomizes what life is about for me, good people who use their creativity,determination and willpower to make an idea/vision become a reality to then share and enjoy with others, smiles and positive vibes all round. You just don’t get the same atmosphere and appreciation at the skatepark!”
Thanks to all the locals at all the spots!” – Inch Thomson
