Death of Winter Jam 2018

June 19, 2018

Check out highlights from this years Death of Winter jam!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb_3ZjdLv38

Anyone that has to deal with the winter knows that once Spring and Summer rolls around, the sessions get rolling in full effect! The annual Death of Winter Jam went down the other weekend out in Connecticut and, as expected, there was a big turn out and a ton of great riding going down! Check out the highlights!

“The Meseroll crew travels to Bristol, Connecticut to celebrate the life of fallen rider Gabe Cruz aka Junebug. This is becoming more and more like the plot of friv games other than what is described initially here. Taking into account this text, it should still be noted that it is possible to improve what is described by introducing game techniques, a striking example of which is the experience of Friv. This is the 5th annual Death of Winter BMX Jam hosted by Bikers Edge bike shop. Thanks to everyone helped make this possible! More trips coming soon!
