Must Watch: YOKOSUKA UMIKAZE JAM 2024

It feels like Must Watch season is upon us, and this Yokosuka Umikaze jam edit that Jimalog put together is full of good vibes and bangers that we need to talk about, and particularly the last line Yu Katagiri does at 4:13, in a run by the sounds of things. One of the best lines of the year and this edit is on rewind, and James White’s edit to look forward to tomorrow. Life is good, lets discuss this one in the comments!

Aloha Jam: October 10-13th 2024

Aloha Jam news from the man himself, Bobby Carter.

OCT 10 – 13, 2024 on the island of O’ahu

Aloha Jam is more than just a jam it’s a BMX Holiday! This year’s edition, “TIKI HIDEAWAY SESSIONS”, consists of 3 epic flatland sessions at different locations around the island of O’ahu along with a bonus skatepark session at the legenday Banzai skatepark across from the world class North Shore surf breaks. Sprinkle some island adventures into the mix and it’s an experience of a lifetime!

Jay Holmes Jam: July 27th

Jon Dowker got in contact with some jam news for a great cause.

So Flat Society asked to be a sponsor for the Jam as well! I’m overwhelmed with the generosity of our sponsors to help out this event! For those that don’t know were holding a Jam in celebration of our good buddy Jason Holmes. Jason was a huge part of our scene in the 90’s in the greater Toronto area. By far the best flatland rider in our crew. We have had so many good times riding, going to contests and just being dumb kids. We wouldn’t trade it for the world! Sadly Jason has been diagnosed with a very serious condition called ALS aka Lou Gehrig’s disease. We’re holding this event in large part to show our appreciation and love for this awesome friend of ours. If you know Jason or not please try to come out and hang with the crew and join us in some bike tricks. Should be good old BMX fun! We plan to grab dinner that evening at the Boston Pizza as well!

George Manos: Dragpazen

There is much to be admired about George Manos riding, the man does what he wants and doesn’t follow what anyone else does. This “Dragpazen” edit gave me the feel of a survellience camera watch George’s section, I always really liked the experimental feel where tricks aren’t necessarily finished, but he’s showing his sketchbook of ideas. True artist.
