On Sunday after the Paxton's jam I drove over to Los Angeles for the LA Street Jam. The meeting point was somewhere on Alameda street but I found out that that road is 10 miles long. Finding the meeting point then can be challenging but I had everything in the car, got online through an open signal and headed towards Chinatown where I parked the car. I saw a bunch of riders heading in one direction and I just followed them to meet Jesse Puente with a megaphone. I had made the 1 o'clock meeting and soon after the crew left. From one spot to the other. More and more riders joined the crew and at the end there must have been over 250 riders riding from spot to spot. Being in that group simply makes you feel good. Everyone was amazed by the turnout and all worked out well. If the cops or the security showed up, Jesse and his megaphone lead the posse to the next spot. It was a little strange seeing Jesse, being a flatland rider, as the leader of the LA street ride but he kept it together and mentioned what parts could be won at each stop. Enjoy the photos to see the riding, the spots and the moves. BdJ
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
