The annual GrindWorks BMX Pittsburgh Street Jam was held last Saturday, August 1st, and kicked off at Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School before moving into the streets. After hitting a few spots, rain swept through the area forcing event-goers to seek refuge at a local spot under a bridge where the jam shifted into a DIY format. Despite the odds against them, including a global pandemic and mother nature, the jam was a success. Jake Aiken provided this year’s video, which he filmed and edited. Click play and check out what went down. Shout out to the GrindWorks crew for continuing to keep these events rolling.
