Jake Leiva – Decade To 360 Tailwhip

It’s pretty insane to think about tricks like the ones Jake Leiva and Dawid Godziek pulled off at the latest stop of the Toyota Triple Challenge…

Another wild #toyotabmxtriple in the books. Congrats to @davidgodziek on today’s win and the series overall. Here’s a couple bangers from the best trick: Jake Leiva (@jake_leiva), decade-to-360 tailwhip for the Best Trick win, and Brandon Loupos (@brandonlouposyo) with a tailwhip cashroll. ?? #bmxdirt #toyotabmxtriplechallenge #bmx

While a large portion of BMX was focused on the FloriDeah Swampfest this weekend, the latest stop of the Toyota Triple Challenge series went off down in Texas. During the contest, there was no shortage of bangers going down and two tricks that Keith Mulligan shared are absolute mind benders… Jake Leiva pulled off a Decade to 360 Tailwhip and Dawid Godziek pulled a Tailwhip Cashroll. It goes to show the level of progress that BMX is at when it comes to sending it over some massive dirt jumps. Both tricks make little sense and almost seem to defy logic of the way gravity, physics and every other force works. Jake’s Decade to 360 Tailwhip is more like a Decade to Tailwhip to 360… We’re not sure how he magically stopped and started spinning in the process. At least it appeared to be that way. Either way, both tricks are absolute bangers and we figured this was well worth a share for people to check out. Expect to see more footage of these tricks and the whole event soon since Monster has been putting out videos after each stop of these contests. We’ll get the videos posted up as soon as they surface, so make sure to check back!

John Lee Jam 2015 Photogallery

A few months back, FBM’s John Lee took a nasty slam that landed him in the hospital for a while and he racked up some heavy medical bills. There was recently a big jam put together to help raise some funds for John! There’s a dialed photogallery by Keith Mulligan from the day giving us a look at the HUGE turn out, some of the fun they had between the mini bike races, sidehack races and more that you can check out over on the ESPN BMX website! BMX might not roll in the big money, but it has one hell of a supportive community that looks out for each other and this is a good reminder of that!

East to West with Van Homan and Keith Mulligan

East to West with Van Homan by Keith Mulligan — More BMX Photos

This is pretty rad. A few weeks back Van Homan and Keith Mulligan made a trip from out East to California. They hit a ton of places along the way and saw a lot of familiar faces. Check out this slide show giving you a look at the adventure.

“For the past couple of years Van Homan has been doing a beginning-of-the-year trip to escape the brutal East Coast winter and get some riding in warmer weather and more favorable—and productive—conditions out west. Originally, Van was going to fly out to Cali for this one, but being a fan of the open road—and the liberties it allows, he scrapped the easy route plan last minute and decided to drive it. Last minute decision on my part as well—and much to the delight of Van, as he didn’t have to do the trip solo. I jumped on a red-eye to Philly, hopped in the truck with my bike, snowboard, and camera gear, and a kick-ass cross country road trip was underway.

The plan was to stop every day to hit spots, shoot photos, see friends, and keep it loose, but also keep it moving. We were graced by Mother Nature with unseasonably good weather for almost the entire trip and took advantage of it with a number of sessions at some great spots. The following photos span the week it took us to go coast-to-coast, East to West. 3,363 miles, and plenty of stoke along the way…” – Keith Mulligan
