Evals BMX Jam 2017

Check out what went down at the 2017 Evals BMX Jam down in South Africa!

The scene down in South Africa is always doing something rad. The Evals BMX crew decided to wrap 2017 up on a high note by throwing a jam at the Thrashers Skatepark! Check out this dialed video they whipped up from the jam giving you a look at what went down, then check out some words and a photos that Colin Loudin put together!

“Evals Jam 2017 – There’s something special about end of year jams. They give you the opportunity to get together from around the country and connect before the holidays, look back on the year and conjure up ideas for new events and road trips. Jams like this make you leave with a smile on your face and add the kind of stoke that gets you excited for the new year ahead. Rico from Evals BMX, who is undoubtably one of the most dedicated guys to grace the South African BMX scene. Apart from being a badass rider himself, Rico runs a BMX shop and is really passionate about helping the local SA scene grow from the ground up. The open format jam and best trick/long jump challenges really got everyone on their bikes and sending it without the pressure of a normal contest environment.

It’s pretty safe to say Thrashers Skatepark got one hell of a hiding on the day…

A decent crew from out of town came through including Murray Loubser(Gaansbaai), Eric Garbers(Namibia) and Chiko M(Botswana).
It was cool to see these guys arrive at the park and shred it like it was their local in just a few minutes. Team Joburg/PTA were also in the house. Vincent Leygonie, Matt Duffy, Nathi Steeze, Jason Hood, Francois Bodenstein & Doran Mathewson went b-mode on the park like it was closing down. All these guys did something different, from savage gaps to using the back rails on the park.

Thanks also goes out to Monster Energy, Omnico and Skabanga Crew for backing Evals to make sure the vibe was great. If you’re reading this, hopefully it will inspire you to throw a jam of your own.

Check out the photo gallery and video to see what went down…” – Colin Loudon

Murphy – The Imperfect BMX Road Trip

Leave a Comment

The crew down in South Africa might have had some terrible luck, but it lead to an awesome BMX road trip!

Whenever we see a video pop up from Kevin Schnider, we know we are in for a treat. Here’s a really dialed video that he whipped up from a recent road trip he took with Murray Loubser and a few others to explore street spots, ditches and more in South Africa. Even though things didn’t go to plan, it definitely lead to some excellent riding, spots and good times. Add in some super clean film work and you have a BMX video that’s well worth your time! Hit play and enjoy!

““Murphy’s Law”,

Commonly, a situation where, if anything can go wrong, it will.
A BMX roadtrip is almost like a booby trap. Take 6 guys across 2000kms, sleeping in tents and flinging themselves down staircases and handrails on a daily basis, there is bound to be setback.. or three.

This trip embodied Murphy’s Law. From broken bikes to equally broken bodies, to finding our campsite nearly submerged after a hail storm.

We soldier on, and we make the best of an otherwise incredible landscape through the middle of South Africa, and we do what we set out to do, ride new spots and make memories with our friends.

Insane BMX Bridge Drop-In

Leave a Comment

This one is for those of you who love heights… Not.

We’re not quite sure why bridges make for a lot of fun to ride, but they do and this has to be one of the gnarliest. Hit play to take a ride with Darren Oatley and Murray Loubser as they take a rebel run on a bridge that has a HUGE drop on both sides and plenty of traffic to dodge. This is crazy and we’re not sure how they didn’t get whacked by a car.

“Darren Oatley & Murray Loubser are straight savages for this… ? Dodging traffic at 6:30am to roll in off the Tollgate bridge arch which is 2 storeys up and 4 storeys to the left. Strictly deadman moves!” – Skabanga Crew
