ESPN compiled a list of 10 riders who have left sponsors to pursue their own brands over the last 23 years or so. Although there are plenty more that come to mind, it’s a really solid list in which you can check out right here. Rider owned brands are very common these days and that’s a good thing.
This past weekend, FBM invaded Derek Nelson’s compound to throw a jam in true FBM fashion with a lot of beer, pizza, BMX, good people and good times. There was no doubt in anyones mind that this was going to be anything but a good time. We were lucky enough to have our friend, Nick Jones, there to take it all in with his camera. We’ve got 29 photos from the day for you to check out to either remember what the hell actually happened after you blacked out or if you weren’t lucky enough to be there to see some of what went down. First, here’s a couple words from Nick….
“The first FBM Post Apocolympics went down Saturday in Vestal, NY and it was one of the best weekends I’ve had all summer. Watching Jack Hartje jump over the entire satellite and then try to 360 it was defiantly a highlight as well as the bunny hop contest on Derek Nelson’s five thousand pound bike from Road Fools 13. I also saw Crandall get naked for a big boobs contest later that night at tent city. Good times and good people sums it all up. Shout out to Derek Nelson, Steve Crandall, and everyone else that made this jam possible.” – Nick Jones

Jeff Wescott hit us up to let us know that he has chosen to part ways with his sponsor Amity Bike Co.. Here’s what he had to say…
“After a little over a year, myself and Amity Bike Co. have parted ways… I would like to thank everyone over there for all the great times and experiences!”
Jeff is still riding for Coalition‘s pro team and Osiris flow. Jeff says he currently does not have a new frame sponsor lined up. I personally can’t imagine it will be long before that changes.
We are working on a Quicky with Jeff right now, so expect that to drop in a couple of days.
Until then, enjoy this past edit of Jeff killing it…
It feels like it’s been forever since I’ve seen a FFWD edit from Mike King. Check out him and a few others getting creative with a Shadow Conspiracy coffin ledge. Real good!
“The Shadow Conspiracy guys swung through our local and held a little jam/meet and greet last week.
After nearly killing the car on the way to Brighton, they decided to leave it behind for the locals.
The next day my new Panasonic HMC-150 arrived so we killed two birds with one stone and shot this little session/camera test video!
Shout out to Seventies Distribution and The Shadow Conspiracy

FBM‘s BMX Post Apocolympics went down this past weekend at Derek Nelson’s park. Here’s the footage that Kenny Horton compiled into an edit to give you an idea of how good of a time it was. There were definitely a lot of rad guys there and it looks like everyone was stoked. I was stoked to see they pulled Derek’s tank bike that he rode on Road Fools out for the highest bunny hop. That bike is so gnarly. Check it!
Check out Lloyd Wright and Sam Cunningham getting a fun session in on a flat rail and ledge they had setup in a parking lot for Rad BMX Shop. Plenty of goodness in this.
“Lloyd and myself spent the day chilling, riding and drinking lots of ginger beer at one of the best shops about in the UK.
And to say a big thankyou to them for hooking us up with the bits and bobs we need we filmed this short video for them.
Filmed and edited by myself for RadBmx Shop.”
