Nowear – Cornhuckit BMX Jam 2020 Highlights

February 4, 2021

We were wondering if we would see footage from this one or not. Last year was tough for BMX contests, but the annual Nowear Cornhuckit Jam still managed to go down out in Nebraska at the Nowear compound! Here is a highlight video from the weekend of fun and good times from the ramps to the trails, flatland sessions and more. As expected, there was a good turn out and a ton of great riding that went down. Take a look! You wouldn’t even now there was a global pandemic going on watching this.

“The Nowear Compound:

Located smack dab in the middle of the country just 20 minutes off interstate I-80.

Open year round free for any riders to enjoy.

All wheels welcome!

Support The 2020 Nowear BMX Contests!

March 5, 2020

As some of you know, the Nowear BMX crew out in Nebraska have been putting in a ton of work to build out a completely free for all indoor skatepark to ride. They’ve been doing some fundraisers over the course of the past few years and they’re getting super close to having the place all dialed in. They’ve been doing contests every summer and this year they have two in the works that will also double as a fundraiser for the park. Get full details on what’s in the works below!

“We are doing great at The Nowear Compound and are excited for what’s all in store for this year.
Our free indoor bike park project is going amazing and expect to have the park portion of the indoor done before this July.
We will then proceed to raise funds to finish the pump track room and final details.

We are hosting 2 big events this year with proceeds going towards our Nonprofit.

First event is July 18th Nebraska’s Cornhusker State Games and Nowear hosts the BMX freestyle contest at The Compound. The CSG organization provides us with EMT staff, porta potties and medals for all those who place. We are looking for additional sponsors to donate prizes to this event. This will be our first contest in the new indoor park.
https://www.facebook.com/events/2372132696411871/
There are 7 different classes at the event and 3 place per class.

Second event is our 7th annual Cornhuckit Jam Sept 19th. We will be promoting this event more than ever to raise maximum funds for our indoor project. If we are successful in doing so we should be able to finish our entire indoor pump track and all by the end of 2020. We will have live music throughout the day, camping available, food and product vendors, mini bmx comps and all weekend open riding. We are asking for any and all help with product and prizes for this event.
We will host a minimum of 4-5 mini events and give plaques and prizes to as many riders as possibly who do well for their own levels
https://www.facebook.com/events/1036643886714076/

Nowear will show appreciation by hanging up any banners that are sent, paint logos of company sponsors on our outdoor ramps that will remain there throughout the year and of coarse do lots of shout outs and thank you’s on our social media platforms.

NOTE: BMX companies who help with either events are welcome to set up a booth and sell product at no charge.

Fliers are being made currently for the events. When the artists have finished we will begin to add sponsor logos so please send us yours in an email so we can add them.

Thank you everyone for your consideration in helping Nowear continue to grow and help both riders and the local youth.

Riding the Foam Pit at The Nowear Compound

January 2, 2020

As some of you might have heard, the Nowear crew out in Nebraska have been busting their asses to build an indoor skatepark that is completely free for riders to enjoy. They’ve been operating as a Non-Profit organization and putting everything they get from donations to sales into this dialed new building. They have the structure up and now they’re starting to build out the ramps. For Christmas this year, they unveiled the foam pit and a bunch of riders came out to give it a test and learn some new tricks. It sounds like at least 6 kids have learned how to send a backflip because of it, so that’s pretty rad. Here’s a video showing some of the riding that went down. We would imagine we’ll be seeing plenty more ramps popping up inside the building soon!

Adam Banton Nowear Video Bike Check

August 27, 2019

Adam Banton is giving the Nowear Beast Mode setup a go! Here’s a new video bike check where Adam talks a little bit about the frame and gives you a run through of all the Odyssey parts, along with a few riding clips for good measure! Check out this unique setup!

“After leaving my previous long time frame Sponsor, it was refreshing to build up a bike like the NoWear “Beast Mode” frame. Super responsive and a few degrees left of normal. I surprised myself getting used to such a strange looking freestyle machine, or maybe it shouldn’t be a surprise!“
