October 21, 2022

Back Bone BMX has released the official video from ACT Jam 2022!

The other weekend the annual ACT Jam went down n Australia, and as always it was an absolute wild one! The crew at Back Bone BMX moved the contest indoors this year to avoid the rain, but it looks like that didn’t keep the party from going off. Check out 8 minutes of highlights with a ton of bangers to check out.

“The ACT Jam has turned into one of the premiere freestyle BMX events in the world! Run by FACT BMX Club in conjunction with Back Bone BMX and Club Back Bone, 2022 saw the ACT Jam dodge the rain and move indoors to two days of next level riding from the world’s most ripping BMXers.

Huge thanks to everyone who rode, attended, helped out and had fun at ACT Jam 2022!

Colony – Act Jam 2022

October 14, 2022

The annual ACT Jam down in Australia went off!

Every year the ACT Jam is 3 days of pure BMX madness down in Australia. Usually they hit 3 different parks and it’s a non-stop party and crazy riding each day. This year Backbone BMX moved it indoors. We’re not sure what happened to change things up, but it sounds like it was due to heavy rains. Either way, they somehow managed to get in inside a warehouse and had a bunch of ramps built up in time for the contest to go off. Here’s a video Colony put together featuring their team at the contest. As expected, these guys crushed it as always. We would imagine there will be more videos coming from the contest soon, so get stoked.

“Watch Chris James, Paterico Fallico, Sam Grace, Ricky Catanzariti, Jayden Fuller, Clint Millar, Max Cvetkovic and Josh Eaton rip it at this years Backbone BMX ACT Jam.

Even with the rain issues Canberra was having the weekend of ACT JAM 2022 the crew from Backbone made it work!

ACT Jam 2021 Highlights

April 8, 2021

The ACT Jam is one of Australia’s biggest and best BMX events of the years, and due to COVID there wasn’t a 2020 ACT Jam. However, this year with things getting less crazy, they fired out the legendary 3 day event and it looks like it was amazing! Here’s a highlight video that Aidan Rice put together giving us a look at some of the highlights! Based on the video the riding was wild and there was a real solid turn out. It wasn’t quite as crazy as usual, but it’s safe to say it was still a damn good time. Check out all the action in this 14 minute video!

“The 2021 ACT Jam did not disappoint, three days of rad riding and good vibes.

A huge thank you to the team at Back Bone BMX for putting on such a killer event every year!

The footage from this years ACT Jam down in Australia is starting to roll in. This annual even put on by the guys at Back Bone BMX is 3 days of amazing riding and good times at different parks and trails. This video that Murli Dhir put together is filled with 10 minutes of footage from the Pros to the locals, along with a good look at just how many people turn out to this event during the first two days of parks. So good. Hit play and enjoy, and expect to see plenty more from this one soon!

“This was the first ever ACT Jam I’ve been to. I decided to make a video because I figured this is one of the biggest things in Australian BMX. I’ve never made something like this but I’m pretty stoked on all of it. The weekend was incredible and I don’t think the video does it justice. I missed out on someone doing a 900 air (I think it was a guy called Mini) but yeah that happened. I also didn’t get to film the Dirt jumps on the last day but this is what I managed to produce.

Check out riding from a bunch of bloody good riders including: Cody Pollard, Dylan Lewis, Jason Watts, JIMMY, Chris James, Alex Hiam, Chris Harti, Jacman Hinss, Jake Wallwork, Boyd Hilder, Jayden Fong, Denby Chandler, Zachary Hutera, CHOWGY, Josh Dove, Tyrone Edwards, Chris Nicol & many more.

To the guy who attempted to flip bar/tbog Weston’s spine multiple times, you are honestly insane. To send that trick again and again after huge slams, you are incredible man.

Thanks to:
Backbone BMX for the whole weekend, Jack Spooner for driving and being an all round maddog, Dom for helping us with locks and telling us where some showers were and all the people there for making it one of the best weekends of my life.
