You know when the Standard Bykes team rolls through a place like Woodward East, there’s going to be some heavy sessions going down. Here’s a dialed video Jerrod Glasgow put together from a trip that the crew took last month. Needless to say, there wasn’t much for nibbler jibbler ledge grinds that went down in this one. There is ton of front brake magic, big blasted airs, technical lip tricks galore and more fufanus than you have seen the last 6 months packed into this one and that kicks ass. We highly, HIGHLY suggest you give this one a watch. You won’t be disappointed.

“A solid crew of our team riders spent a week at Woodward in August of 2017. Here’s some of the wild shit that went down that week!

Woodward East – BMX Vert Demo

Leave a Comment

There’s no doubt that vert riding has seen some smaller numbers over the years between the intimidating size of the ramp and overall accessibility to vert ramps around the world, but there’s still plenty of interest in it. To inspire some of the younger riders out there, Woodward East threw demo with a few of the pros dropping in to give the campers a look at just what can be done on a vert ramp. Here’s a look at what went down during the session!

“Jamie Bestwick, Douglas Leite de Oliveira,Vince Byron, and Jorge Jovel were kind enough to throw a vert demo here at the Cloud Nine Vert Ramp. These guys are no joke when talking about catching some air. Check out the session with the heavy hitters of Woodward as they put on a vert demo for the PA Camp.”

Jamie Bestwick has been crushing it for a long time…

Snakebite coming through with another gem from the “Dig 25” video, that came out back in 2002, for your viewing pleasure. This is a short but sweet section featuring Jamie riding the vert ramp at Woodward East with a few words added in for good measure. This is a pretty laid back section, but it’s crazy to think about how long Jamie has been on top of his game… Amazing. 15 years later and he’s still on top.
