It’s rad to see some faces we haven’t seen in a while, along with a few familiar and a few we haven’t heard of!

“The Eighth installment of Strays is now available. Just like past “issues”, these are a grouping of photos that were shot over the past few months that didn’t find a home but we still wanted to share with the BMX community. This time around I’m excited to announce that we have photo contributions from both Taylor Stos and Chris Shellkopf.” – Ben Austin

Skworl – Washed Up

Leave a Comment

It has been a little while since we’ve seen a BMX video out of the Skworl crew up in the Twin Cities area. That doesn’t mean these guys haven’t been out putting in the work, even though a lot of them are working real jobs and hitting that weekend warrior status. This is a mix of footage featuring Lee Mies, Nick Anderson, Eugene Serrato, Cole Nelson, Eric Holley, Boden Berg, Justin Dewitt, Dustin Arendt, Mike Gelle, Chass Uthe, Cody Smiglewski, Seth Smiglewski, Erik Elstran, Deljon Willis, Seth Peterson, Lucas Woodley, Reed Stark, Jacob Mullenix, Phlandus Alexander, Jake Demuth and Ben Austin, getting down at a bunch of skateparks and street spots this past summer. Good vibes and real solid riding. You can’t go wrong with this one!

Ben Austin – Stray Photos 1

1 Comment

When you shoot BMX, you end up taking a ton of photos and sometimes even the good ones don’t find a home. Ben Austin has been crushing it behind the lens for a long time now and we’re always pumped when we get a look at some of the photos he shot. This morning, he hit us with a link to a new flipbook giving you a look at a few of the photos he was sitting on that needed a home featuring Reed Stark, Trey Jones and a few other getting down in Minnesota and Florida.

If you’re a BMX photographer looking to get your work featured, hit us up! We’re always down to check out some rad photos like these!

Photogallery: 2014 3rd Lair Jam

3rd Lair BMX Jam

This past weekend was a busy one for Minnesota. Not only was this years BV JAM over the weekend, so was the annual 3rd Lair Jam that some of the locals up in the Minneapolis / St. Paul area throw! Our friend and photographer, Ben Austin made his way to the park to check out some of the good times that went down! He ended up with a bunch of photos from the day, so we figured it would be a good time for a new photogallery!

“3rd Lair just wrapped up their annual BMX jam, presented by the Skworl crew.  This winter has been a historically cold one for the Midwest, and the local scene had been hurting for a chance to get together, hang out on the bikes, and have some fun.  It was great to see all of the faces from near and far make it out.  The contest went off without a hitch, and ended up being a really good time.  Check out a few dimly lit photos from the day, enjoy!

Hosts:  Skworl, Lee Mies, Mike Gelle
MC:  Kevin Robinson??
Results:
Pro: 1st – Andreas White, 2nd – Derek Strong, 3rd – Jake Demuth
Bowl Jam Supreme Champ – Justin DeWitt
Best broken forks – Chass Uthe
Footdown Survivor – no one cares” – Ben Austin
