Voodoo Pre Jam 2008 from Erik Otto on Vimeo
It’s all about Voodoo jam this weekend. This week we go back to the pre jam at Voodoo 2008 featuring Dominik Nekolny, Hiro Morizaki, York Uno, Hidekazu Kuga, Yohei Uchino, Terry Adams and Sam Foakes killing it! Love this edit from Erik Otto!
James McGraw and Todd Carter rolled into Joe Cicman’s new Terradome riding spot, to get some practise in for this weekends Voodoo Jam, hit play to see what went down!
One rider, one combo at a time at this Saga No run Contest in Japan! I love these core japanese events, unedited you can feel the energy build, so much good riding from everybody. The combo Keisuke Tanigawa drops at 12:19 in the first video stood out to me, hanging on, you think he’s off and he keeps going, skills!
THE GREEN MILE JAM from 1WMBMX on Vimeo.
There is not much of a better excuse for a jam, than your local riding spot might be soon unrideable. The local council are considering changing the surface to a astroturf surface, Jason Forde and the TGM crew are battling the council to try and preserve this iconic riding spot in West Norwood, London. At short notice the locals held a jam this past weekend, quite a few out of towners made the trip to celebrate the Green Mile, including some tasty back wheel lines from James White. Plenty of good memories riding this spot over the years. Good luck to Jason and all the guys with keeping the riding spot going, so much history!
I loved the first Mezzee mix tape a few weeks back, and with so much footage Dwix just made this nice “alternate” mix tape edit full of summer vibes from the Royan contest, Paris, and Barcelona! Sweet riding from Quentin Pelorson, Jeremy Brosset, Shinichi Kiba, Didier Genet, Alberto Moya, Thomas Noyer, Manu Massabova, Gilles Van De Sompel, Joris Bretagnolles, and many more!

Amazing footage from the BS contest in Kansas, Paul Osicka Interview, and 94′ York Jam that is sadly remembered for Edgar Plascencia and Richard Zabzdyr being involved in a serious car crash on the way home to California from York, PA, Richard lost his life. RIP, Richard Zabzdyr.

The 2015 World Circuit series is shaping up nicely, with Bike Days and Barcelona both going off in Europe! All eyes now turn to Round 3, which takes place at the annual Voodoo Jam in New Orleans, USA on July 25th. I caught up with the organiser Scott O’Brien to talk about what he has in store for the event, the vibe of the event, the next generation, judging, contest formats, his memories and expectations and a whole lot more, read on!
Duy-Anh PHAM aka Dwix who previously run the http://niakland.free.fr website before YouTube and Vimeo days took some time out of the game and wanted to get back into documenting the flatland lifestyle and riding, he does a great job, he explains more below:
“During two months, I traveled with my bike and my camera between Paris, Saint Mandrier sur Mer, Montpellier, Bordeaux, Royan and Barcelona. The result of these trips is this mixtape called “Mezzee”. It sounds as your greed pushes you to test loads of tasty dishes in the same time. It includes good times and riding skills from Manu Massabova, Matthieu Bonnecuelle, Takumi Isogai, Quentin Pelorson, Inigo Arroyo, Alexis Desolneux, Shinichi Kiba, Alex Jumelin, Thomas Noyer, Jeremy Brosset, Joris Bretagnolles, Mike Plas, Gilles Van de Sompel, Alberto Moya and many more!”
