“During the same night we filmed the Epic Game of add on we all wanted to keep the fun going so we decided to play a Game Of Bike with a twist! We took the same concept that I came up with for our Wheel of Misfortune series and applied it to the GOB! We had 4 team captains pick 3 riders each just like school dodgeball and then the captains had to name their teams! We had 16 riders total in this game and it was insane! So many laughs, so many tricks, and so many crashes! One of the best moments was when Ricky Hoffman decided to attempt a 360 for the first time in 4 years! Watch the video and find out who’s team gets the win!”

The Factory – Minnesota Mayhem Team Contest Highlights

Leave a Comment

On December 20th, The Factory in Minneapolis invited everyone out for their first ever Minnesota Mayhem BMX jam and Team Contest that Kenny Short organized. It was definitely a different approach than most BMX contests in the world. The concept was pretty straight forward. Have six of the youngest riders at the contest take turns picking team mates of all ages and skills, then they would go head to head on three different sections of the park. Each team had their own jam, racking up points that would be calculated toward one score as a team.

Above is a BMX video giving you a look at the highlights from all the riders on each section!

Team Isaac: Isaac, Mike Dinello, Carson, Luke

Team: Zander: Zander, Tristan Sagastume, Joel Lange, Jaden Lange

Team Wyatt: Wyatt, Alex, Kyle, Jared

Team Nathan: Nathan, Nick Johnson, Reed, Sage

Team Tyler: Tyler, Jared, Dallas Light, Trevor

Team Jack: Jack, Tommy Glidden, Ryker, Jordan
