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.

OTP X The Yea | Eeshond Kirk

OTP (Outside The Philth) and The Yea have released a new video featuring Eeshond Kirk. The video expands on Eeshond’s recent “Fuckswitit Fridays” video which was released last month as the fourth installment in the ongoing series presented by The Yea. Eeshond’s latest offering is paired with a perfect song to accompany his riding, and together they give off a great vibe throughout the video. I’ll never get sick of those 540’s to fakie; click play and check it out.

Filmed and edited by Buck Milliken with additional filming by Shilo Staniech.

“This was a long time coming but it’s finally done! From waking up at 7am to ride a rather affluent area, to sketchy abandoned colleges, we did it all. Eeshond is a fuckin’ shredder that rides just about everything. Don’t skip this one… Special thanks to Matt Smith over at TheYea.com, awesome gear to freshen up your kit. Hit the site for more awesome content as well as Instagram @theyea, @mattheyea, and the boys @outsidethephilth. Cheers!”- Buck Milliken
