BMX Day 2017 Johannesburg, South Africa

July 24, 2017

The scene down in South Africa has always been a good one. There’s always a steady flow of videos coming out of the place and you can bet that every year the riders all get together for BMX Day. This past weekend was no different! The locals came together in Johannesburg to spend the day exploring the city’s spots and have a good time. Colin Loudon sent over a video and a batch of photos by Grant McLachlan from the day for your viewing pleasure! Take a look at what went down!

Saturday 22 July, while the Street Series was going on in multiple continents, the bustling streets of New Town Johannesburg saw 100+ riders gather in front of Museum Africa In support of international BMX Day.

Already from the jump the warm up spot quickly turned into a frenzy of sending anything and everything down the set of stairs and getting tech on the Evals BMX flat rail to get the juices flowing before the mob headed off into the CBD.
After a quick briefing the heavy crew proceeded to pedal into the city and from that point chaos ensued as traffic was brought to a standstill in the city centre.

Private security didn’t stand a chance against a group this big which brought the perfect opportunity for those usually “untouchable spots” to be broken in.
Unfortunately this brought the attention of JMPD who tried to dismantle the group and shut down the jam completely. After a bit of smoothing over with the police, the massive crew headed to spots with less police presence. Which included a ghetto skatepark hidden in the centre of Joburg’s biggest taxi rank.

After a heavy session on the steel ramps the group made their way back down to the meet up spot to wind things down with the Ray Malinga High Hop contest hosted by Hunter.

No street jam is complete without an informal prize giving to hook the riders up who sent it during the course of the day! Shout out to Monster Energy, Evals BMX, Hunter, Skabanga Crew and 1933 Classic tattoos for making it all happen.
Thanks to everyone who made it out! See you all next year!

BMX Day 2017 Highlight Videos

July 23, 2017

Saturday was the annual BMX Day that went down with jams planned all over the world from San Diego to Philadelphia, Melbourne, London and more! Thousands of riders turned out between all the stops and it made for some wild and rowdy crowds and plenty of dialed riding. Check out a whole bunch of videos from the day below!

“300+ BMX riders join Garrett Reynolds, Chad Kerley, Ty Morrow, Broc Raiford, Dakota Roche, and more to celebrate BMX Day 2017 at the Monster Energy Street Series in San Diego, California. Good times and great riding!” – Vital BMX

“The Philadelphia stop of The Street Series in conjunction with BMX Day was easily the largest Philly street jam to date. With such a huge turnout, there was tons of awesome riding and wild antics all throughout the equally as wild North Philly neighborhoods. Congrats to Pennsylvania native Mike Guth who took home the ring – after sending some of the wildest moves at the three main spots, it was well-deserved. Look out for more Street Series videos here on DIG.

“VANS celebrated BMX DAY opening the doors of his Park in Huntington Beach on a super hot 7/20 day! Many riders showed up and enjoyed a chill session. Good vibes, good tricks all over around the street course and bowl, some giveaways and gifts …

Featuring: Dakota Roche, Sean Ricany, Nick Tellez, Ricky Moseley, Veesh, Nick Krauer, Michael Harkous, Matt Cordoba, Kris Fox, Baby Johnny, Josh Clemens, Trevor Sigloch, Nathan Sykes and Jason Watzz.

Filmed by Fernando Gomarin Olaiz.” – DIG

“The London stop of The Street Series in conjunction with BMX Day started out wet and it stayed that way, but the legendary underground spot at Southbank kept everyone dry and entertained. These events aren’t always all about the riding but about seeing old faces and meeting new ones. Congrats to Matteo Vitali who took home the ring – you should have seen the size of his elbow after shredding all day.” – DIG BMX

“The first Street Series jam supporting BMX Day 2017 went down in Melbourne on Saturday with Ed Zunda and Jordan Godwin and Felix Prangenberg hosting the proceedings. We were there to catch all the highlights in this new episode of ‘In The Cut’ that also features the new king of Melbourne ‘Jimmy’. Look out for more from this crew soon as they head out on a WETHEPEOPLE trip.

“ In today’s adventure we put the video parts on hold to join in the BMX day festivities. Street series only comes once a year so we had to take advantage. This features some sick riding from our usual squad, Jacob Cable, Francis Castro, Crankflipper420 ( Chris Ambrose ), Murray, Sauce, etc and everyone else who killed it that day! This is shot from our point of view so if you want to go see all the crazy tricks that went down please check out your favorite media site.” – Common Crew

BMX Day In Annecy

August 14, 2016

With BMX Day events going off all over the world a few weekends back, Kevin Kalkoff was asked to put one on in Annecey, France! Here’s a video from the day that, despite some rain slowing things down, appeared to be have been a real good time and lead to plenty of dialed riding. Check out what went down!

“I was asked to organize a jam in Annecy for BMX day 2016. After a few phone calls to South mates (Alex V and Joco ) everything looks in place for a good day.
Comes the big day and arriving at the first park I am pleased to see this already riders. An hour passes and riders from Switzerland and the surrounding area continue to arrive … But as the rain made its appearance and shortens the session management so Annecien to a small bar for a drink hoping the sky s ‘ clarify but nothing to do, it’s raining.
So we will try one last spot under a bridge rail and Subrosa with our quarter / Wave home that gave way to a nice little session.
the evening was then finished in front of a burger with Roster projection , edit the Blind trip .
Roll on next year for another edition under the sun this time.” – Kevin Kalkoff
