“Anthony Crespo came of for the 2010 Christmas Season. He stayed a little longer than originally planned that gave him the time he needed to produced an amazing video that is coming out soon. During his farewell jam he brought out a big LCD Flat TV to the OG to show the trailer on DVD. You can watch the trailer by visiting this linkbmxfreestyler.com/2011/02/og-trailer.html”.

The riders in Holland, have a tight community, and when James Alberto (a legend in the dutch flatland scene) said he would stop riding, the community got together to host this jam to try and re-motivate him, how can James stop riding after all this love!
This looks so solid! Pete B ripping at Studio City! Jesse is stoked!!
Getting it done at the One Love jam, OG styles!
The word from Lachlan.”This would be the first Christie Pits Jam of the season. It was a great turn out with a bunch of street riders showing up for a while then taking off to hit some ledge. Filmed by Scott Miller, Matt Holdron & Dave.”
Loving this, all these guys are 40+, great to see! This jam went down in Owasso Oklahoma. Hope to see more jams like this! Hell yeah guys!
“Just some quick clips from the jam that day. Set the cam down and forgot about it so only got half of the riders or so.”- Sean Fontenot.
I’ve said it before and no doubt I will say it many times again, jams are really important for the growth of the flat scene, there is far more interaction between riders during a jam than at a contest, yesterday I sessioned with a few guys that I have never met before, we pushed it other on whatever combos we were doing. The community builds, friendships are made, sessions go down, this I find very motivating! And for me after all these years, I feel like jams are the future, anyone can put on a jam. It’s accessible for all.
The Leisure centre floor was pretty much perfect, the lights reflecting on the floor gave the feeling that it was slippery, but I didn’t slip out once all day.Once you got used to the lighting, it was on!
About 25-30 riders made it to Brighton for the jam, the floor was so big that the hall kind of broke up into 4 sections, which was awesome, to paint you a lil picture, there was kind of a TGM section, a section with the Brighton crew, a section with myself, Trevor, Cunners, and a section with Keelan, Lee Wilson,Andy Hale, Andy Wood, and basically riders would move around all day sessioning with each other, interacting, and getting stoked on flatland!
Everyone sessioned all day, new tricks and old tricks were laid down, and a few laid back fun contests were throw in to finish the day, Yinka won the longest hang 5, Gabor won the longest peg wheelie, Keelan won the longest nose manual and hang nothing. Fun times!
Much respect goes out to Chris Carter for organising the jam, peep the lil interview I did with him (below) after the jam, as well as a lil flatmatters exclusive from Keelan. Mario will be dropping a flatsummit jam edit sometime soon.
Let’s keep the momentum going, TGM Spring jam soon?
Ben Snowden invited the flat community in LA to go and session at his house this past weekend, dope to see a lil Gabe Weed footage!
This coming weekend is the Brighton jam here in the UK, 7 digital, one of the largest online music sellers in the world are sponsoring the jam, which is awesome for flatland! Check out more details/directions on the jam blog! Hope to see a few UK heads down in sunny brighton, for a fun day out!
