They always turn out to be more real and in the spirit of rebeljam, unfiltered BMX, which is awesome," the Chicago native said. He continued: "There's nothing huge on the course, yet there are opportunities to do big stuff."
Over fifty of the world's best street riders will make it to London for the rebeljam. One of the riders is England's Dan Lacey: "I'm really excited for such a dope contest to make its way to London, street riding has taken such a huge leap in its progression in recent years since the last rebeljam so the level of riding will be insane. But most importantly the vibe at rebeljam just riding and chilling with all the homies is what I'm looking forward to if I'm honest. Can't wait." Dan will meet up with riders from all over the world like Bruno Hoffmann (Germany), Simone Barraco (Italy), Eddie Zunda (Latvia), Dakota Roche (USA), Anthony Perrin (France) and Garrett Reynolds (USA) to name a few.
The Vans rebeljam will be judged in its own unique way, the way it was judged from its beginning back in 2004. Riders can score in three categories: Best Style, Hard Tricks and Best Line. Respected riders in the names of Corey Martinez, Markus Wilke, Alex Valentino, Dave Cleworth and Jeff Klugiewicz will decide who will be riding the finals at York Hall on Saturday 22 November. In true Vans rebeljam style, the action doesn’t stop there. As the event draws to a close and darkness falls upon London, the focus moves to House of Vans where in partnership with Red Bull, the official after party gets going with a solid line-up of the fine DJs, combining grime, garage, electronica and more.
House of Vans London will also host an exclusive photographic exhibition, paying homage to more than two decades of Dig Magazine and documenting 21 years of BMX culture.
The event will be streamed live on www.redbull.com/bike
