Photogallery: 2014 3rd Lair Jam

March 14, 2014

This past weekend was a busy one for Minnesota. Not only was this years BV JAM over the weekend, so was the annual 3rd Lair Jam that some of the locals up in the Minneapolis / St. Paul area throw! Our friend and photographer, Ben Austin made his way to the park to check out some of the good times that went down! He ended up with a bunch of photos from the day, so we figured it would be a good time for a new photogallery!

“3rd Lair just wrapped up their annual BMX jam, presented by the Skworl crew. This winter has been a historically cold one for the Midwest, and the local scene had been hurting for a chance to get together, hang out on the bikes, and have some fun. It was great to see all of the faces from near and far make it out. The contest went off without a hitch, and ended up being a really good time. Check out a few dimly lit photos from the day, enjoy!

Hosts: Skworl, Lee Mies, Mike Gelle
MC: Kevin Robinson??
Results:
Pro: 1st – Andreas White, 2nd – Derek Strong, 3rd – Jake Demuth
Bowl Jam Supreme Champ – Justin DeWitt
Best broken forks – Chass Uthe
Footdown Survivor – no one cares” – Ben Austin

Threads Vol.2

It’s that time of the week again to give a look at some of the interesting threads that have surfaced on Bikeguide this week! Given, there have been a bunch of threads popping up, I was stoked on two in particular.

First up, if you caught our Frostbike coverage of Odyssey’s booth, you might have caught the prototype of the new hub guard that G-Sport is working on that goes over the drop out. There has been an interesting thread called GSport Private Part that has sparked up some discussion on this guard and the pros and cons for the design. There’s definitely some interesting stuff to see and read in there, so take a peek RIGHT HERE.

The second thread that I caught myself digging through for a while is the What Have You Made? thread! This one has been on the board for a little while now with 37 pages of stuff to see and covers everything from random projects people have done around their houses to non-BMX things they have made, to stuff like this wood kicker that was inspired off the Fly Bikes Coastin’ video, to a Kegerator lever somebody used a crank arm for. Well worth a look through! Check it out RIGHT HERE!

On The Spot: Courage Adams At Simple Session

March 14, 2014

The actual title of this is Courage Adams rides with Garrett Reynolds at Simple Session, but there wasn’t really much of Garrett in this… Either way, you get a first hand look as to what it was like for Courage Adams to go to Simple Session for the first time! Looks like he had a good time to me!

“At the tender age of 17 not many are ready to ride in one of the biggest pro comps of the year, but up and coming Spanish rider Courage Adams aint just anybody. The young Pamplonan made his international debut at this year’s Simple Session in Tallinn, Estonia and left his mark. Course, he was having too much fun to notice. Check out the video for an inside look at Courage’s adventure in Tallinn and what it was like to ride with guys like Garrett Reynolds and Simone Barraco. “
