Pedal For Peace 2020 Jam

July 28, 2020

Check out this rad video from the Pedal For Peace jam that went down in Long Beach the other weekend! The event was organized by Linwood Monk and a ton of familiar faces turned out for the day to support the cause! Check out riding from Broc Raiford, Dylan Stark, Kevin Porter, Tom Villarreal, Tony Malouf, Jeff Wescott, Demarcus Paul and more! Hit play and take this all in!

“These are tumultuous times we’re currently living in. And whatever your beliefs may be, if you want to make a difference and help make a change, you need to speak up and act. That’s exactly what Long Beach local Linwood Monk did with Pedal For Peace. To say that Linwood (@bosshog) is outspoken about his beliefs is an understatement—and this past weekend he channeled that energy in a positive direction with Pedal For Peace. The ride began at Long Beach City Hall and ended at a jam with a box jump/hip setup at the beach parking lot below Bixby “Cherry” Park—where a Reggae band was coincidentally playing a mere ten feet away. In true Long Beach fashion, the event quickly turned into a melting pot of people from all walks of life getting together and having a good time. Change doesn’t happen overnight, but every effort helps us all in move the right direction, and Pedal for Peace did exactly that.” – Our BMX

Going Fast – A Day with Larry Edgar

July 8, 2020

Curious what a day for Larry Edgar is like? Here’s a video where the Our BMX dudes followed him for a day as he cruised his yard, rode the local pump track, hit up Pat Casey‘s yard, played a little COD, drove some cars and more! Hit play and take it all in. It looks like it was a good day to us!

“Larry and I have been talking about meeting up and spending a day riding and doing hoodrat things and I decided to finally make it happen. No pressure, no real plan. I hit up Jeff Z to come shoot photos and we just went out and rode the stuff that he normally does. We were both hoping to do a bit more with his off road truck, but it wasn’t running at the moment. And, it was also surprisingly hot that day, so the heat soak happened quick.” – Our BMX

Calvin Kosovich & Travis Hughes – Skate Spots App Session

July 2, 2020

Sometimes you need a little help finding some fresh spots to ride! Calvin Kosovich and Travis Hughes decided to give the Skate Spots App a try to find a few new ones to stack some clips on! Here’s a raw cut Our BMX uploaded from the day of riding they got in! Hit play to see what they came across and what got thrown down!

“Nothing beats hitting some unfamiliar streets with your homies and seeing what you find. Putting in the work to discover new spots is fun and feels super rewarding when you uncover a gem. Then there are the days where you really want to just ride something and may not feel like rolling the dice and potentially come up empty handed exploring—which is where the Skate Spots App comes in. Some people may curse its very existence, while others live by it. We meet up with Calvin Kosovich and Travis Hughes for a day of riding and we decided to try something new and picked spots off the App—and of course we found some off the map spots along the way as well. It was a long day and we had multiple guests meet up throughout, including Dakota Roche, Andrew Castaneda, Tony Neyer, and Aaron Brenner.” – Our BMX
