Grindworks BMX – Pittsburgh Street Jam

September 11, 2018 by Purcey

Grindworks BMX hosted their annual Pittsburgh Street Jam on Saturday, June 30th, and the video from the event is finally online. The jam was moved from the streets to the Sheraden Skatepark later in the day due to some police interaction, but not before the jam made its way through several of Pittsburgh’s many street spots. There’s a lot of great riding in here and we are proud to have been able to co-sponsor the event along with a long list of other companies. Shout-out to Grindworks for putting on these events and always supporting the Pennsylvania scene. You can read more about the jam after the jump.

Posh Woods High Air Contest

September 5, 2018 by Purcey

The third annual Posh Woods High Air Contest was held this past weekend despite a rainy Labor Day weekend forecast. The jam was pushed from Saturday to Sunday, September 2nd, due to some rain that lasted through Friday night into early Saturday morning. For the locals, Saturday’s postponement provided a last-minute opportunity to fix the damage caused by the storm and get everything running smoothly for the following day.

This year a ‘Best Whip’ contest was also added to the mix with the jam kicking off at 10 am Sunday and the contest portion at 1 pm. In the end, Ever Peacock emerged as the 2018 High Air Champion, clearing over fifteen feet of air on The Butcher Jump as well as taking first in the ‘Best Whip’ contest. Congratulations to all the winners and a huge thank you to Jess Grinager for filming and editing the above video as well as the Posh locals, from whom none of this would be possible without.

Retrospective: The Final Street Series

August 5, 2018 by Purcey

The Street Series was originally started in the U.K. by Tom Creasy, DUB BMX, and Monster Energy. In its six-year lifespan, The Street Series grew from an idea into a globally recognized event staged in cities around the world and held in support of BMX Day. The final Street Series took place on Saturday, July 22, 2017, and was hosted in Melbourne, Moscow, Paris, London, San Diego, and Philadelphia. Dan Lacey returned to host the event in Philadelphia for the second year in a row, and with the assistance of Matt Miller and the Chocolate Truck crew, guided the crowd of hundreds of BMX riders from spot to spot through the neighborhoods of North Philadelphia.

One year later, we reconnected with some of the locals that were in attendance as well as our contributing photographers, Sam Downs, Frank Ashbridge, and Kyle Dipilla, for a look back at the final Street Series in Philadelphia. Frank Ashbridge also edited together some previously unseen footage that he filmed during the 9th and Poplar stop of The Street Series.

We hope you enjoy.
