Barchus Forever – Memorial Jam

BMX lost Matt Barchus about a year ago already, so Javaun Crane-Bonnell decided to put together a video from the memorial jam that went down shortly after he passed away last year. There was a huge turn out and it looks like everyone had a real good time, just the way Matt would have wanted it. Javaun also tossed in a few clips of Matt for good measure, too. Check it!

Rest In Peace, Matt Barchus

August 31, 2015

Today we received some unfortunate news that Matt Barchus had lost his battle with cancer in his brain. We got word a few weeks back that after a full year long battle, the tumor began growing and he didn’t have much longer. We’re sure he was under some of the best care on his way out thanks to everyone who was able to donate to help raise money for Matt’s family in this time. If you still want to donate, you can do so on this Fundraiser page right here! They have met their goal already, but there’s never enough to replace a guy like Matt who so many people loved and looked up to.

Rest in Peace, Matt! BMX will never forget you.

Can we just start out by saying that Cancer SUCKS! Unfortunately Matt Barchus‘s brain tumor is growing and it doesn’t sound too good for him. Matt’s friends and family are raising money to help cover the medical expenses that are ever mounting while Matt takes on this battle. So far they have raised over $17,000 for the $20,000 goal, so if you have some money to spare, visit the Fundraiser website to help Matt and his family out in this rough time. There’s also a big BMX jam planned for this Sunday, August 17th at the Heaven Skatepark in Hartford, Connecticut. Check out the flyer below for details.

“Matt was diagnosed with brain cancer in April 2014. This year, after a long battle, the tumor is growing again, and treatment options are exhausted. Please help his family pay for some of the growing medical bills incurred during a 5-week stay at the hospital, and for the physical/occupational/speech therapy program he is about to go into to help him be more independent before the end.
Friends in Winston, please come out to The Hut for beer, bikes, and bands on August 16th and MANY THANKS to Jon Pfundstein for organizing!
Thank you all so much for your continued love and support.

You can donate to help Matt and his family out Right Here.

“Matt is my best friend. He is my brother and gives the best advice ever. This is the least I could do. Matt you are an inspiration to many, and I praise you constantly. If everyone had the same heart and soul as you the world would be positively different. Thank you for everything you do
Thanks to all the sponsors: Daily Grind, Storrs Center Cycle, Burns Crew, Fat Trax, Kink, Merritt, 90 East, Peep Game, Animal, Skizz BMX, and The Ideal Skateshop.
I couldn’t have done this without the help from Chuck, Greg, Erin/Matt Burns, The Shark Attack Family, Jeff Dupaul, and all the homies.

Barchus Forever

February 8, 2013

Javaun Crane-Bonnell sent through this rad new edit that he put together featuring Matt Barchus that’s damn good. I can’t believe some of this footage is a couple years old. Definitely take a peek.

“Matt Barchus was my idol even before I even got to meet him. Matt has become one of my really good friends and is one of the best dudes on a bmx bike. Barchus was CT’s pride but he moved to North Carolina to go back to school. This is a collection of footage that I got from the first day that I met Matt till when he left. Some of this footage is two to three years old. Set to some OG Dipset, barchus murders everything in sight!
