September 30, 2022

Jay Hamilton took the NORA Cup 2022 Trail Rider of the Year award!

The videos celebrating the NORA Cup 2022 winners keep flowing! Jay Hamilton took the Trail Rider of the Year award this year, and it’s easy to see why! Check out this video with a bunch of riding clips, insights from the riders that voted for him and a look at Jay accepting the award!

“The 2022 NORA Cup for Trail Rider of the Year goes to Jay Hamilton!! Jay is the real deal, rain or shine, Jay is out at the trails with a shovel in hand building jumps for beginners and dialing in the big lines. He is an inspiration in the trail scene and can be found in the woods shredding with his son and making sure everyone is having a good time.

Congrats on the NORA Cup Jay! Well deserved.

It’s no short feat to be nominated for Trail Rider of the Year, so we also want to congratulate Clint Reynolds, Cory Nastazio, Nathan Hallahan, and Nathan Saunders on their nominations!

We also want to sincerely thank the brands that allow NORA Cup to happen: Monster, Source BMX, Tubolito, ODI, Vans, Fly Bikes, S One Helmets, S&M, Fit Bike Co, Alienation, kink BMX, cinema, The Shadow Conspiracy, Subrosa, Odyssey, Sunday, Vans, GT Bikes, Haro, Hyper, and Snafu. This is a labor of love for us, but it does cost money and the brands I just listed are, quite literally, keeping it going.” – Our BMX

Jake Calhoun Shouts At The Devil

September 30, 2022

Jake Calhoun throws down some dialed park riding!

It’s always rad checking out a video from a rider we’re not too familiar with. Jake Calhoun is a newer name to us, but it’s clear he’s a shredder. Check out this fresh video where Jake puts his deep bag of tricks to work at a bunch of parks, a little street and roof drop action and a few clips from shows. Jake took a pretty heavy slam that took him off the bike, but it looks like he had a ton of great clips stacked before he was sidelined. Take a look!

Bloom Week at Woodward West!

The Bloom BMX ladies have been on FIRE this year throwing events all over. Earlier this summer they had Bloom Week At Woodward East, and now they’ve jumped on to the west coast to throw another one at Woodward West. Check out over 6 minutes of riding footage, giveaways and good times that were had! There are so many ladies crushing it on bikes these days and it’s so good to see.

“This year we had the opportunity to hold a second Bloom Week at Woodward West. It was our first inaugural Bloom Week West which was also happening during Girls Week. Bloom Week is a dedicated week for women’s BMX, it’s an opportunity for the next generation to ride with pros and for the pros to mentor the next generation.

This year’s Woodward West guests included Natalya Diehm from Australia, Emma Finnegan from the United Kingdom, Duda Penso from Brazil and of course your staple Bloom BMX pros were there, including Cory Coffey, Angie Marino and Maca Grasset. Last but not least, big thanks to our designated Bloom Week Coach Allie Wolfe, who provided a memorable experience for the campers.

Enjoy this edit which captures the fun and stoke that the ladies had during Bloom Week! Keep your eyes on TheBloomBMX.com for 2023 registration dates for Bloom Week at Woodward Camp!” – The Bloom BMX

September 29, 2022

Kevin Peraza takes the transition rider of the year award!

It was probably not a big shocker that Kevin Peraza won the NORA Cup 2022 Transition Rider of the Year after crushing it all year long. Here’s a video celebrating the win with a ton of dialed riding, words from a bunch of pros and a look at Kevin accepting the award a few weeks back!

“The 2022 NORA Cup for Transition Rider of the Year goes to Kevin Peraza! Kevin absolutely destroyed every ramp in his path this year. He has a knack for finding lines at skateparks that people normally don’t see and transitions that skill to unique street transition setups. He is an all-around force in the category. If you haven’t had a chance, Check out Kevin’s latest full part for Vans BMX, Con Todo below!

Congrats on an amazing year, Kevin!

It’s no short feat to be nominated for Transition Rider of the Year, so we also want to congratulate Alex Hiam, Dennis Enarson, Josh Dove, and Logan Martin on their nominations.

Davide “Die” Dolfin – Out of Tempo

September 29, 2022

It has been a little while since we’ve seen a fresh BMX video from Davide Dolfin, but he’s back after a hiatus to show us what he has been getting into the past two years. Davide delivers with a ton of great clips with huge gaps, big wallrides, grinds and much, much more. This one is fairly laid back, but the riding doesn’t disappoint. Take a look!

“Davide Dolfin from Mandello del Lario, Italy.
I’m 32 yo right now and I’m spending more money and free time on physiotherapy rather than riding my bike. I’m always busy travelling the world for work and it’s hard sometimes to find the right mindset for riding thoughtless. In other words, it took me two years to make this little edit happens, but I think that it’s the pinnacle of all my remaining energies into what’s my vision of BMX. There are no tricks, maybe I’m out of step, probably out of tempo with the modern riding style, but this is my mediocrity at its best. This little piece of my life is dedicated to all my real friends that help me to push my limits further. Enjoy!” – Davide Dolfin
