BiKETOBEERFEST 2011

We were meant to do a demo this past weekend at BiKETOBEERFEST but got completely rained out. Some good did come of the day though. There was plenty of great beer to drink and Joe won the Huffy Toss competition. Here’s a photo of Joe with his prize and the bike he tossed. It was an epic throw. The cones show the distance he threw that thing. Nice one Joe.

Van City Flatland Jam 2011

Video by Cole Chalmer

Here’s what he had to say about the video and jam.

I tagged along with my friend Quinn to a Flatland bmx jam in Vancouver, British Columbia. I know nothing about flatland, I’m a street/dirt rider. All I know is it’s hella impressive what these guys do and this video does absolutely no justice to the skills these guys have.

Flatland is hard to shoot, especially in a jam format like this. I had no idea who to be filming and wether or not they were going to do something mellow or gnarly and wether or not they were going to complete the whole line (line? is that what you’d call it in flatland? i dunno).

Not sure what happened to the audio in this video, but the music sounds terrible to me.

I’d love to make it out again next year if they do it again and maybe breakout the wide angle and get a little closer.

Filmed on Nikon D7000 w/ 70-300

Mark Rainha came out to the jam and shot some video of what went down that day. He did a really nice job. Thanks Mark. Check it out.

 

Portland Summer Flatland Jam 2011

So another jam has come and gone. It was a beautiful Saturday here in Portland and there was a great turnout for the jam. Over 30 riders came out to participate and despite the heat lots of riding went down.

Everyone that came out got a jam t-shirt and we had gift bags with lots of goodies from our sponsors to hand out. Fish Johnson walked away with a brand new set of Primo cranks after winning the B.I.K.E. contest.

I will be posting more photos and videos this week. For now check out Jared Souney’s blog, www.jaredsouney.com, he has some nice photos and a video posted up there.

A big thank you to all the people that came out to the jam, our sponsors (see below) and all the locals that made it possible.

This was the last jam that Joe and I will be putting together.  Justin and Anthony will be taking over from here and I know they are going to do an amazing job. Good luck to them. A big thank you to Joe for all the work he has put into these jams over the years. He has done a great job.

Cheers.

A big  thank you to our sponsors for their support and generosity
