Maehata: Nagoya King of Ground / 2004

It is mad quiet at the moment, let’s call it the calm before the storm. We have nice updates nevertheless today starting with this Maehata & Taka footage from the Nagoya King of Ground back in 2004. I like the capture of Taka riding off the arena and Maehata riding onto the contest floor, that really brought a realistic view to what it’s like to compete for me, so many memories. I remember this stylish dude from the Diversion videos, enjoy this one!

Old School Sundays: Jason Davies R.I.P

Last night the sad news that UK rider, Jason Davies had passed away broke online. Jason could do it all at a high level, flatland, vert, mini, dirt, skatepark riding. During the 80’s Jason excelled in flatland, and was one of the first UK riders to make the trip stateside competing in the AFA masters and came back here in the UK swinging with a bunch of new tricks and style after each visit. During the 90’s and early 2000’s, Jason later in his career made it as vert rider, and competed in the X games for many years, living stateside.

This weeks OSS is dedicated to Jason, who helped inspire me in my younger years. Such sad news, thinking of all his family, and friends and the BMX community during this difficult time.

R.I.P. Jason Davies.
