So when I had the idea to start out the “Last Time” feature again I was running with the train of thought to feature a rider you might not expect me to run with for the opening article. I had some good feedback from Gabe Weed’s LT. For the second feature, I was thinking more along the lines, who should I have already interviewed already? That person is the godfather of UK Flatland, Mr James White! Every Last Times feature is unique to the person, plenty of inside jokes in this LT! Hope you all enjoy!
The 2017 AFA contest series kicks off this weekend in Detriot, Michigan. Not sure what class to enter? Joe Cicman kindly produced this “Class Guidance” article to offer some help, head over to the AFA site and check it out.
Mateus Beckmann is definitely upping his online presence in 2017, the other days fresh bike check edit, today we have a really well produced edit by Diego Amaral from Role Crew with as you would expect some bangers thrown in to boot. Hit play already!
JAMSADO : BMX Fun n' Games in Bogota from IGI BMX on Vimeo.
Nothing but good vibes from this “Jamsado – BMX Fun n’ Games in Bogota” edit put together by Jean William Prevost.
Dub had this to say about the jam: “IGI BMX, Tienda Flatland and Fade Footwear join hands to present the first ever JAMSADO. As the rain was approaching
early in the day, we decided to start with our flat games to get the footwear and IGI products out into the riders hands,
the games included;
– KICK BIKE, 5 rounds with 5 finalists and one finals to know the champion who won FADE shoes
– SCUFF JAM, the person who could hold a scuffing trick the longest to win a pair of FADE shoes
– HANG IN THERE , the longest HANG 5 for a pair of IGI SWEETSPOT pedals
– KOREAN ARM WRESTLING to win final prize ; a pair of IGI MICROPHONE PEGS
The last challenge took place at the Flatland Shop owned by the Palencia brothers who treated us all to a sick session of BBQ.
JAM + BBQ (asado in spanish) = JAMSADO !!!!
We hope to do this again somewhere in the world!
Thanks to everyone who took part,thanks to Juan,the Esteban brothers,Fade Footwear and IGI BMX #IGOTIT.”
Congratulations to Dominik Nekolny who yesterday took first place at Round 1 of the UK Flat Championships at Event City in Manchester, followed on the podium by Francisco Lima Pekeno and James White.
