How badass is this? Nowear sent over a photo of the custom sub rail they built for the next round of the 2015 Bring Your Own Bike Contest Series. We’re not sure on the actual dimensions of this beast, but based off the photo of it loaded on the flat bed truck it has to be pretty huge. Can’t wait to see some footage of people riding this!
Nowear have released their official video from the first round of the Bring Your Own Bike Series that stopped at at the Gnar Barn in Iowa a few weeks back. This is over 8 minutes of highlights from the young guns all the way up through the pros! Check out the video! After you check this out, make sure you check out our video from the contest as well.
“Round 1 of the Nowear Bring Your Own Bike contest series was nothing short of amazing. Great people having a great time together. Round 1 was at the Team Iowa Gnar Barn hosted by our friend Chris Pickard. Be sure to check the schedule for all the BYOB stops for 2015 on the Nowearbmx.com website.”
Remember last month when we asked you to help Nowear get votes to win a grant from Fedex? Well, they ended up placing in the top 10 out of 1800 small businesses and ended up winning $5,000 towards building a new park! Check out this news story a local news channel did to highlight their efforts. Stoked on this!

If you have ever had to mutter one or all of these lines to the kids at the skatepark before, this shirt is for you.
“No, I’m not sponsored.”
“No, I’m not pro.”
“No, I won’t backflip.”

“NOWEAR B.Y.O.B. “Bring Your Own Bike” BMX Freestyle 2015 Contest Series.
2015! Let’s do this again! Nowear Extreme Rider Apparel is proud to present it’s 2nd year of the BYOB contest series. The last several years some friends and I have been reminiscing about the good old days. Hoffman B.S. comps and various other mid West Jams like the P.I.T., Rampage and Scrap were legendary and we were all fortunate enough to have attended. Those were some of the best times in BMX for many! We wanted to give some of those same great memories and feelings to today’s riders here in the Midwest. After our first year all I can say is Mission accomplished!
Thanks to so many great companies and riders the BYOB is a big success! Huge props to Rick and Jess at Standard, Sam at Tree, Brian at XS, Nate and Chris from PHV, Tony and Eric with Mudslingers. These guys are what helped us make 2014 BYOB happen!
BMX at it’s Grass Roots Baby! These jams are super fun, friendly and all located at backyard ramps. Camping is available at each event at no cost. Anyone needing rides or carpools please feel free to post on these event pages, or message me directly as I may be able to help organize some rides.
