Review // JIB: Tape Four
On Friday, January 20th, 2017 the fourth installment in the JIB mixtape series, ‘JIB: Tape Four’ premiered in a warehouse in the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia. For those of you who are unfamiliar, Jib is in their own words, a project that focuses on creating footage of riders that are living & riding in the Philadelphia area.
We expressed interest in reviewing the video for the website and purchased a copy through the Berks St. website. Jonathan Schimpf was kind enough to provide us with an early online viewing of the video to help expedite the review process. You can read the entire review, after the jump.

“I can be bit of a show off but every time I see a baddie I gotta pop sum nice.”
1. He attempted to crank arm a rail with no chain.
Seen at 1:22 in the extras.
2. The song was changed a week before upload.
We originally were going to use No Heart by 21 Savage but a week before the video was ready the track got used.
3. He broke his stem mid sesh & swapped it and kept riding unaffected.
He snapped his stem and went to a totally different top load stem and kept riding no problem.
4. He sang R Kelly through the handi rail hop.
Seen at :48 in the extras.
5. He filmed his banger with my phone in his pocket blaring music.
Feeling anxious he asked me for my phone so he could get hype to try the 3. For some reason I gave him my phone without thinking twice. You can hear the music playing from it at 2:00 in the extras.
First the obvious, Name, age, and where are you from / now living?
Joshua Hymans, 21, born and raised in Allentown, PA now living in Lebanon, PA.
Earliest BMX memory?
Earliest BMX memory was when I was with two childhood friends, my brother and a old head named Mark lol shout out Mark but he took us on a ride from Southside of Allentown up into Bethlehem to hit some trails (we all ate shit that day) and we saw some dudes shredding under a bridge. I remember this one dude had wild foot plants, so that was pretty much my first time seeing real tricks done on a bike.
Where does your drive to progress come from?
My drive to progress is just to hang wit the big boys nothing more nothing less.
How long have you been riding bikes?
Been riding BMX since August of 2012 so about 4 years.
Ever impress a girl with a trick?
Do I impress females with tricks? Hell yeah! I can be bit of a show off but every time I see a baddie I gotta pop sum nice.
What are some of your influences?
Some influences definitely my brother. He’s my biggest fan and he keeps it real with what I love and what I do so shout out BIGBRO!!! Influenced by other riders? Ehh, not really, but if I see something I like I may try to add it to my bag of tricks with a touch of my “style”.

Top 12 Videos Of 2016
As we approach the end of the year, it’s time once again to kick off our series of year end posts. Every year, we publish a long list of videos on this site. In the fast paced environment that is the internet they are here one minute and archived the next. But before we close the door on 2016, it’s time to take a look back at some of the videos that we felt made the strongest impression on our viewers and the scene as a whole. The list is in no particular order and is not based off of any web statistics or analytics. With that in mind, we invite you to sit back, re-watch and enjoy.
