Freshly back on his bike following an injury and on the heels of his closing section in Daily Grind’s “Rerouting” DVD, Jeff Purdy dropped a new web video online today as a thank you to everyone that has supported him along the way including GT Bikes and Daily Grind. The video was filmed mostly around the Philadelphia area with a few clips mixed in from NY and his native Delaware.

The 2nd Annual Women’s Weekend in the Woods took place September 22 and 23rd in the woods of Pennsylvania. A simple idea that came together during the cold Northeast winter months last year has proven to be a success yet again. With the support of our jam sponsor T1 and all of the companies that sponsor the trails including S&M, Fit, and Empire BMX, we were able to give women a weekend to come ride trails knowing the woods would be full of other girls. With more women coming out to ride the trails this year than last, it was an awesome weekend where riders of all ages and skill levels could come together to enjoy riding bikes & roasting jumps.
Women’s Weekend in
the Woods is a low-key, low-pressure event where girls can come and ride Catty
and Posh Woods, two legendary trails spots within driving distance of one
another. There are no contests, no clinics, no rules. Just come hang out in the
woods and get stoked on trails. Women brought their families, their dogs, their
infectious positive energy and for two days nothing mattered but BMX.
Friendships that
were created last year grew stronger this year, as women from all over the
world came to ride, many of which were jumping higher and going faster than
they had last year. There were also women there who had never ridden BMX before
but wanted to try it & Women’s Weekend in the Woods provides that safe and
supportive environment to send it for the very first time. I am forever
grateful for the women’s BMX community and the locals who came together to make
this event happen as well as everyone who supports Catty and Posh all year
round. See ya in the woods!
The second annual ‘Women’s Weekend In The Woods’ was held on September 22nd and 23rd at Catty and Posh Woods. The event was organized by Taryn Hipp and brought together women from all over with the shared passion of riding BMX for a weekend of trail riding stoke in the woods of Pennsylvania.
Jess Grinager was on hand to document the event and released the first of two videos on his YouTube channel earlier today. Keep an eye out for part two and don’t forget to subscribe to Jess’s YouTube channel for more videos.

On Saturday, August 25th, the Stink Pit crew premiered their latest video ‘Stink Pit 5’ in Aston, Pennsylvania. The event was hosted at Ryan Serrano‘s new house and included a DIY ramp session, a BBQ, the premiere of the video, and a bonfire to cap off the night. Shortly after, Ryan reached out to us with some photos from the event shot by Dave Homer. The photos took a while to obtain, but they are finally available for your viewing pleasure after the jump.

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.

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.
