The GrindWorks BMX Jams, both the Pittsburgh Street Jam and the Binghamton Jam, are in their third year running as sister-jams. Both take place at the same time of year, typically only weeks apart, and share organizers, sponsors, and prizes. Being 300 miles apart, it’s also interesting that they share a lot of the same riders.

Battleclip: Last Try For Dan Conway

June 27, 2019 by Purcey

Following the release of ‘GT Bikes: Complete Story II‘ which was filmed by Ryan Fudger, Ryan released a new installment in the Our BMX ‘Battleclip’ series documenting Dan Conway going to war for his first ever Hangover to Crank Arm 180. You can read more about the video in Ryan’s own words below.

“GT’s Complete Story 2 came out today and I happened to be the guy that filmed it, so I threw together this Battle Clip of sorts with Dan Conway. Now, this isn’t some blood and gore… The trick is relatively mellow, but a few things you should know. First, we had been out for nearly 12 hours this day, so everyone was incredibly beat. Second, Dan was riding his signature GT BMX complete bike, so he wasn’t 100% comfortable on it. And most importantly, Dan had never done this trick before, but the setup was perfect for it and he felt like he could get it done, soooo….”
