Burly Jam 2015 – Part 1

July 21, 2015

On June 13th, BMX riders from all over the place made their way to Burlington, Iowa to ride the Dankward Skatepark for the one and only Burly BMX Jam! Above is a video that gives you a look at the highlights from the entire day from the riding to the karaoke that that went down at the after party. You can see riding from guys like Bobbie Altiser, Dan Hylton, Jared Schlesselman, Habo Gutierrez and Glenn Salyers. This is what a proper BMX Jam looks like! It’s such a bummer knowing that we won’t be seeing Glenn blasting airs like he is doing in the end anymore. We’ve included a link to donate to his memorial fund below! Expect part 2 soon…

“Burly Jam 2015.

It was a cloudy day in Burlington, Ia on June 13 but that didn’t stop the migration of BMXers to Southeast Iowa from places like Texas, Chicago, New York, and all other dark corners of the Earth. Special thanks to @skateparkrider (Bobby Parker) for organizing this jam and to @twobraketony (Anthony Loconte), @golden_rod (David Buseman), and @murderbikebmx (Jerrod Glasgow) for taking the time to film. Also, thanks to Logan from @letsroastcycles for sponsoring High Air, Justin Marland for sponsoring King of Box and a special thanks to @sethgz (Seth Garrett) for supplying the music all day.

RIP Glenn Salyers” – Bobby Parker

There has been a Glenn Salyers Memorial Fund setup to help out Glenn’s family in this difficult time: Road2Recovery Foundation

Glenn Salyers – Unseen Clips

July 21, 2015

It’s still pretty unreal that we lost Glenn Salyers the other day… Anthony Laconte was sitting on a bunch of amazing footage of Glenn for a new video that they were working on, so he put it together for one last final video from one of BMX’s finest riders. This video is an absolute must see. Rest in Peace, Glenn! BMX will never forget you.

“On Friday, July 17, 2015, we lost a special soul. Glenn Salyers was involved in a motorcycle accident, which had taken his life. When I received the news that Saturday morning, I was in disbelief. Fuck, I’m still in disbelief! Glenn was taken way too soon.
Glenn and I were working on a project together, but that project was unfortunately cut short. I compiled all the clips we had in this short lil edit. Glenn was a fucking shredder! Burly and tech! A rare human! He was so good and so smooth! He was honestly one of my favorite riders…to ride and film with!
You will be missed Glenn! The BMX world has lost a legend! Love you dude!
_RIDE IN PEACE_
” – Anthony Laconte



Ketch Bikes – Matt Lough 2014 Edit

December 23, 2014

Check out this dialed new video featuring Matt Lough putting in work on parks and street spots around Chicago for Ketch Bikes! Matt brings plenty of style and a big bag of tricks, combined with some great film work making for a real good watch! Take a look!

“Matt Lough…a name that is ever so familiar in the Chicagoland area. Whether it’s because of his dry humor, tall lanky body, super positive attitude, or his destruction on a BMX bike. All I know Is all those traits equal one badass human.
Matt and I have been working on this piece since late spring. We’ve had some set backs with work schedules, weather, injury etc., but did not let that affect the outcome of this finish video.
So here it is.
Locations include: Chicago, Northbrook and Joliet, IL.
Enjoy.
Filmed&Edited by: Anthony Loconte

Lake Jump

August 6, 2013

Anthony Laconte just sent through this rad video he put together from some of the lake jumping sessions they’ve been getting on Lake Michigan this summer! This honestly looks amazing right now since it’s going to be a hot one here today!

“It’s a wild and fun scene here in Chicago. Winters are miserable and so are the summers. As BMX riders, we have to find ways of using the weather to our advantage.
A group of BMX friends have made it summer tradition to launch their bikes off a homemade kicker at North Ave beach. Many riders around the area look forward to this Sunday sunrise session.
I finally made it out to one of these awesome get togethers and documented the fun that was had. I’m glad I went with on this day because these guys made a jump they’ve been planning for a while. We were limited to one jump because of severity of the premisis, but Alex Bedoya sent one and boy was it a good one! (last clip)
Riders:
Alejandro Bedoya
Dan Zabinski
Dan Peters

Nick Wilbat

Song: “Lazuli” by Beach House
Camera: Canon 5DMKIII

Timothy Burkhart: Clip Sit from Anthony Loconte on Vimeo.

Psyched on this one. Anthony Loconte was sitting on a bunch of clips of Timothy Burkhart and decided it was time to put an edit together. Timothy brings some awesome riding to this one along with a little bonus hand gun action. Keep your eye out because we’ll have a new Photos: with Timothy here soon. Yeah, not only does he know how to kill it on a bike he shoots dialed photos. Get stoked.
