Vauxhall Trails Jam 2021

August 3, 2021

The Vauxhall Trails over in the U.K threw a jam the other weekend! Here’s a highlight video packed with a look at the riding and good times that went down. Unfortunately the rain shut things down early, but it looks like they got plenty of footage before that to make this video! Hit play and enjoy!

“Vauxhall Jam was a good day, but unfortunately got cut short due to the usually tricky British weather. And by cut short I mean a torrential downpour which led to the jumps being unridable and everyone huddling under the tarps. Nevertheless, Parky, Tom and the whole crew have a solid spot and the days they open their spot to everyone is always with welcome arms. Can’t ask for anything more!

Matt Ray – Don of the Streets Jam 2021

August 3, 2021

Last weekend was the Don of the Streets jam in New York City that Austin Augie threw! As expected there was a huge turnout with a ton of Pros that came out as well for a full day of riding. Matt Ray got the jump and released the first video from the day giving us a look at some of the action that went down. Based on the footage it looks like there were a handful of teams there, so we can imagine we’ll be seeing a bunch of videos starting to pop up over the next few days. Get ready!

“Cruised out to NYC on Friday to link up with the Boston homies in NY for the weekend. Saturday we hit the Don of the streets jam which was put together by Austin Augie. He killed it on so many levels with this contest.

Brian Tunney – July 2021 Clips

August 3, 2021

Brian Tunney keeping the monthly videos going strong! Despite being busy and unmotivated, he still managed to knock out a few proper sessions and film some solid flatland clips or your viewing pleasure! Check it out!

“For a variety of reasons, including work, travel and particulate matter in the skies over Los Angeles, I didn’t ride until July 20. All things considered, being old, washed up and unable to breath good during heavily air polluted days, I am not complaining. This is a loose collection of Dave Nourie and Ryan Nyquist inspired tricks that have no cohesive flow to them, but it’s also me dusting off three-weeks of downtime and not really sure of how to proceed. I won’t lie; last month’s no brakes undertaker was a really good breakthrough riding wise for me, but now I’ve kinda exhausted most of the options and don’t know where to go. The bike will take me where I need to go in due time, but the in between period of figuring that out isn’t always pretty. So here’s that minute and 30 seconds of wondering where to go next.” – Brian Tunney

Dan’s Comp – How To Manual On A BMX Bike

August 3, 2021

Dan’s Comp coming through with a new How To video for your viewing pleasure! This time around they have a video with a ton of tips and advice on how to manual on a BMX bike. This is a trick we’ve seen covered before, but it’s one of those building block tricks that takes a bit of time to really dial in, but once you have it figured out you can add it into different lines and combos. So, if you want to learn how to manual, get on that play button and then grab your bike and get to work! This is a trick that takes A LOT of practice, and you can almost always progress with it, so don’t give up if it doesn’t work out right away.

“Manuals are one of those fundamental BMX tricks that every rider should try to learn. Not only are manuals extremely fun, but they open up a ton of other trick possibilities. In this weeks video, Mike breaks down proper manual technique including the proper way to pull up, balance and turn.

These tips and techniques are not regulated to just BMX. The same principles can be applied to cruisers, dirt jump bikes, mountain bikes, big wheel bikes and so on.” – Dan’s Comp
