Brian Tunney – One Love BMX Jam 2019: The Lowlights
Brian Tunney made it back to the One Love jam after a 4 year absence and took full advantage of the size of the court. Smooth as glass style for days, with a bonus appearance from a rider I heard was called Trickystyler.

The 9th annual One Love Jam in Newport Beach, California was lived up to all the hype I have heard over the years. We were staying around an hour away in Corona, and I believe it was James McGraw who said “it will be sunny at the beach Effraim”. I remember thinking “yeah yeah, that’s not going to happen”, low and beyond we arrive at picture perfect Newport Beach and the sunshine is booming, girls in bikinis everywhere, hockey players, and a fast smooth newly resurfaced riding spot which is large enough to hold 120 riders pretty comfortably with a California beach backdrop.

One Love Pre Jam – San Francisco / LA trip Part 3
Good morning everyone!
Yesterday was a good day, we arrived the night before to Robert Castillo’s house in Corina, California.After a nights sleep it was time head out to Long Beach, Corona to Long beach is around an hours drive. LA traffic which can be horrific, we hit up a In and Out Burger joint just round the corner from the jam. The spot looked familiar and sure enough I had been to this burger place before. Must have been like 9-10 years ago, funny how your memory can jog in an second.
San Francisco Trip – Part 2
Yesterday was the first dry day of my trip to San Francisco. Dylan Worsley from We Bicycles arrived in the morning, and myself, Pete and Dylan headed from Fremont to San Fran by BART. 40 minutes later, we were at Embarcadero and the Clocktower is across the road. The ground was still really wet from and early morning shower, Pete has the Clocktower on lock down and has a let blower, squeechie, and to my suggestion added a towel to the fix to get the riding spot dry.
Repo: San Francisco Trip Part 1
Good morning everyone!
As many of you will know, Pete Brandt who happens to be my child hero growing up organised a go fund me page to get me out to the One Love jam in Newport Beach, California this weekend. When I was younger, my parents took me to San Francisco on holiday and I always loved the place and everything about it, so much character in this city. So as you can imagine I am still pinching myself that I am actually here. I can’t thank Pete, his wife Karissa, and everyone who donated to help me get here.
I arrived into San Francisco on Monday, after an 11 hour flight and almost three hours in the customs line I was pretty tired, but also pretty excited to get riding and make the most of this dream trip out here.
Throwback Thursdays – One Love Jam 2018
It is the annual One Love Jam this weekend in Newport Beach, California. Tomorrow I am heading down to LA with Pete Brandt, Dylan Worsley, and James McGraw. Seems like as good a time as any for this sweet bonus edit from last year, crank it up and get hyped. I know I am!

Flatmattersonline: How to Foot Jam Tailwhip
It’s been a while with the flatland how to series, yesterday was my first day out in San Francisco and what better time to get the first how to of the year done. Today I teach you how to foot jam tail whip.
This trick is all about commitment, and getting your head over the stem and bar area whilst kicking the frame round and keeping the bike straight. I’ve broken this how to into four steps, hope this helps anyone trying to learn this trick. It’s useful trick to learn as leads to show much, like every trick in flatland there are no boundaries other than what you out on yourself. Get learning and drop me a message and let me know how you get on.
