On September 7-?9 XSA Backyard Jam will take place in the sunny Krasnodar city in south Russia. It’s the third time the best BMX and MTB riders from all over the country hit the famous XSA Backyard park and the first time it meets foreign guests. Michael Beran will be among them. Backyard park is located 150km away from the Black sea in the shade of beautiful forest on the coast of Kuban river and combines air park, street park, dirt and trail sections. This time we’re happy to bring you the all new pool section, massive dirt jumps and renewed street

section. Prize money this year will be 200 000rub (≈$6000). BMX scene in Russia has grown really fast in recent years, a lot of great events have happened, a lot of great riders visited this country. But XSA Backyard Jam goes much further.

In the year 2011 it was given the "Event of the year" award on Russian BMX Awards. All riders live in one place, some of them stay in the forest for the whole event spending

evenings near fireplaces and having BBQ and riding sessions. We’re trying to bring back and keep the core of BMX – feeling of freedom.

XSA Backyard Jam is made by riders for riders. Expect a full report here on FATBMX.
