I’m hyped to announce there’s gonna be a Flatland Jam right here in my hometown of Hammond on the same day as the world premiere of my documentary, The Road Home!
We’re throwing down an all-day session jam with riders coming in from all over—no official contest, just straight-up riding, good vibes, and community. I’ll be handing out $1,000 in Flatland Fuel gift cardsand giving out 10 awards for riders who kill it in different categories throughout the day.
I’ve already talked to a bunch of you behind the scenes, and I’m seriously stoked that so many of you are making the trip.
But the main event… That’s happening that night—the world premiere of my documentary “The Road Home” at the Columbia Theatre. This film is my life’s story, and nothing would mean more than packing the house with all of you who’ve been a part of this journey. Let’s make history and sell out the theater for the first time ever.
Save the date: September 20th. Let’s ride, connect, and celebrate together right here in Hammond. I can’t wait to see you all.
More info coming soon on close hotels, The after party, and how to reserve your seat in the theater.
“WISE UP” features dedicated sections from Brett Silva and Diego Bravo, as well as a healthy chunk of footage from Jared Duncan, Erik Elstran, Jake Seeley, Julian Arteaga, Maca Perez Grasset, Gary Young, and many more. Filmed in California, Texas, NYC, Massachusetts, Minnesota and beyond.

Got my first Elite Men podium this weekend in Chile! The Continental Championship was my main focus, but a crash in the semi going for the transfer spot ended that one short. Great to bounce back and finish the weekend on a high!
Jeff Z is a G. And we're claiming the W for getting him and his gear atop a BTM XL.
It's been a while since we've had a fresh drop of David Anderson footage, but the big man is back in a big way. This has got his siggy whiplash moves along with some monster rail rides and threes. So good!
