Work In Progress: Bob Manchester’s “The Yard Jam”

Over the past few months, we’ve been following Bob Manchester on the lead up to The Yard Jam that went down at his personal trails spot. After months of work and preparation, the jam went down and plenty of bangers happened. Check out this highlight reel to see just what went down along with some insight from Bob about the jam!

“Finally, after months and months of hard labour and preparation, the day of Bob Manchester’s ‘The Yard Jam’ has arrived! Watch how the crowd gathers, while crazy riding and good times all unfold in the series finale for ‘Work In Progress’ with Bob Manchester.

Made possible by Hoffman Bikes, Stay Strong Clothing and Crucial BMX Shop.” – Epic TV

Crucial BMX – The Yard Jam 2015

Just spotted a little more footage from The Yard Jam over on Can You Dig It! This time around we get a video that Crucial BMX put together that gives us a look at a bunch of the riding that went down throughout the day. Take a look!

“Bob Manchester’s The Yard Jam is unlike any other competition, its one of the rare occasions when you can see jaw-dropping BMX as normal riders send themselves over 25ft doubles, down a vertigo-giving roll-in and out-of a Hoffman Bikes High Air Quarter Pipe!

I hope we don’t go two years until the next event as BMX needs more insanity like this!

Thanks to Bob and the Manchester Family for putting this on, it was a brilliant day.

Work In Progress – Bob Manchester: Skateparks And Two Smoking Barrels

For the latest episode of Bob Manchester‘s “Work In Progress” series, he takes a break from the trails to spend some time cruising skateparks and shooting guns with the one and old Ben Hennon! As you can imagine, both of these guys brought tons of style to the table making for one damn good BMX video. Take a look!

“With Bob’s yard now taking shape for his jam, we decided it was time for a little more down time… So we scooted off t’up North for a weekend with the man himself who actually sung Bob’s praises to Hoffman Bikes in the first place. Mr. Ben Hennon, globally renowned for his DGAF attitude, huge tricks and two crazy dogs, was kind enough to host Bob for a long weekend of nothing but bikes and good times. This series proudly supported by Hoffman Bikes, Crucial BMX and Stay Strong Clothing.” – Epic TV
