JunkieJam 2.0 at the Junktrails coming this 9th of June. As you may know these aren’t really trails but one wooden trickjump (6 feet high, 10,5 feet radius) with a soft landing and an old school quarterpipe we cut down this time to 6,5 feet high (with 8 feet radius) Last year everybody had a blast trying so many new tricks on this setup so there had to be a sequel…..
The jump was liked by all last year so no changes there. The roller coming into the jump was giving some people a bit of a problem but in true BMX spirit people were helped and coached so at the end everybody was having a good time. This year we will reshape the roller so more emphasis can be put on pushing for hard and new tricks on the jump. Music will be played, free beers will be shared and the BBQ will be lit and again we hope to see a lot of people push their limits without injuries.
Thanx to everybody that is helping but especially DTX13, 0172INK and Paul’s Boutique BMX Hardware Store.
See you guys there, we are expecting to start around 13:00 and the closest know location is Kleiweg 500 in Rotterdam! (just follow the flyover of the tram and watch behind the pillar)

EAST COAST BMX IN THE STREETS OF MICHIGAN! We've known Nick Seabasty for many years at Animal and we are stoked to have him repping through House Of Wheels shop in Michigan! Nick may no longer be in New Jersey, but he hasn't lost that East Coast mentality, PEEP THIS!
We all wish we could like Garrett Reynolds, but that just ain't possible. But seeing as Garrett is such a nice guy, he went over all of his Fiend and Cinema parts for his bike check and explains why he sets his bike up the way he does. So at least you can build your bike just like his—as long as you're not like six feet tall!
Day five was a travel day. Day six was epic. We got massaged by a waterfall, almost bit by monkeys, saw an epic cave, and met a ton of awesome locals...100% one for the books. "Street Dragon Tour - Seoul, Korea - Day One I'm gonna be on the road with the Vans squad for two whole weeks going from Korea to Malaysia to Singapore, so why not go hard with the daily content?
Alex Hiam and Chris James head north for the day. Here's the behind the scenes and left over clips from the good times we had on our bikes. Parks we hit: Caloundra park & Alex Heads park.
After Qualifiers was rained out, FISE goes straight to semi-finals. Despite more rain, the Monster Army riders were able to put down some solid runs, with Justin Dowell qualifying for Finals in second and Jeremy Malott also going through.
