OCT 12 – 15, 2023 on the island of O’ahu.
Aloha Jam is more than just a jam it’s a BMX Holiday! This year’s edition, “The O’ahu Sessions”, consists of 3 epic flatland sessions at different locations around the island of O’ahu along with a bonus skatepark session at the legenday Banzai skatepark across from the world class North Shore surf breaks. Add some island adventure into the mix, and it’s an experience to remember!
Event Details:
Edit wise it’s kind of quiet in the flatland scene, which is no surprise as contest season is in full flow. With that said, it’s motivating to see one of the top in the game Jean William Prévost putting in some work on a new project. This teaser for Dub’s first edit in a while certainly whet’s the appetite…

If you missed these two massive lines from Rodney Williams the first time round like me, wow! Two of the longest combinations I have ever seen! Congrats Rodney!
Plenty of good stuff going down in the UK flatland scene, check out this fresh edit from the recent TGM jam last weekend in West Norwood, London. Thanks James White for this fun edit!
Did I just have FrogBarz moment? I’m typing about fond memories of competing against York Uno in the late 90’s, early 2000’s. And the next video I see is this Snakebite feature on Shane Neville’s Flatland Manifesto Video magazine from 2004. Do yourself a favour and set aside an hour to watch this. Thanks Snakebite for sharing.
Chill edit with York Uno to start the week, here York is testing an experimenting with Lumix color grading. On other note, good to see York still out there riding after all these years. I have find memories competing against York during the X Trials, X Games contest in the late 90’s early 2000’s.
Exciting news for U.K. Flatlanders, the official U.K. championships is going down 22/23rd July at Round 3 of the Backyard Jam at Junction 4 skatepark in Blackburn, supported by British Cycling!
