Last year was my first experience of the One Love Jam, and can honestly say this was the best jam I have ever been to. Beautiful sunshine, Cali beach setting, awesome fast and huge riding surface, flatlanders and BMXers from all generations, whats not to like?

The 10th anniversary jam hype is building nicely, 1327 W Balboa Blvd, Newport Beach California is the venue, next Saturday (18th January is the date). Over 120 riders expected, I will be flying out on Monday. Looking forward to this, soak up the One Love Jam vibes in last years edit. See you there!

Voodou Jam – Japanese Style

Great footage from the recent Voodou Jam in Japan, not to to be confused with the Voodoo Jam in New Orleans. Hit play for some killer riding from the likes of Masashi Itani, Enoki Takahiro, Shinde Yoshihiro (look out for the wild rock walk type move at the 2:30 mark), and I can’t ID the shredder on the green bike who won the jam, amazing riding!

A friday treat for us all!
The annual Vienna Jam during the Argus Bike Festival at Vienna’s Rathausplatz is growing each year.
