Chris Day Jammer - Bicycle Source

On Saturday May 21st BMX legend Chris Day organised a BMX Flatland jam hosted by Bicycle Source Bike Shop in Anaheim. The weather was hot and sunny (orange county big surprise haha) and we had roughly 40 riders present and riding. The shop is ridiculous! My main man Danny Hubbard in a big part of the re-energised Bicycle Source and it shows! With bikes stretching from the very beginning of BMX to the current low toptube bikes and big bars of today, this shop is one of a kind! Along with a fun small to medium ramp configuration, the showroom has a fully mobile setup of industrial cabinets and hanging walls all on wheels for quick removal in case the cops show up!! haha just kidding :) The showroom was cleared for the flat jam and best trick, which went down around 630pm. The lighting and floor werent prefect but we made it work and Steven Dirty Hern's delicately handled backwards backpacker to xfoot hitch took the win. Ed Nussbaum was on hand and riding sooo good. Ed is one of my most favourite riders and people. I hope to see more of Ed this summer! Its rare that we (the LA flatland scene) can all get together and session. Chris Day and The Bicycle Source made that happen and for that Im stoked! Look for more jams at the Bicycle Source in the future! Boom!

A few fun tricks from the camera of Ben Q at Studio City a few weeks ago. Boom!

Alex Jumelin and family visit California! plus Studio City sessions happening! Boom!

Alex Jumelin and his amazing family recently visited the US and made their way across the US to California for a night. Alex rolled in with family from Vegas and joined the Studio City session for about an hour before the darkness ended it for us. Alex is an amazing rider even straight out of the 5+ hour car ride from Vegas! It was a pleasure having Alex and family visit us.

CFO FU7 Contest - Toronto, Ontario

STOP 1 of the AMerican Flatland Circuit happened last weekend in Toronto, Ontario Canada. I flew into Buffalo on Thursday evening and drove with Megan and Shyla to Brantford to kick it like Wayne Gretzky then onto Toronto Friday morning. We shared the hotel rooms with Alex, Tiff, Prasheel, Addison, Mark, Percy, and Alexi. It was pretty much non stop shenanigans (and drinking) with this group haha such a fun time!

This was my first contest of the year and I was pumped to finish 6th considering the problems I was having with the floor and my tire selections. I probably changed tires 10 times this weekend haha but ended up back on the Odyssey Klyte that came with me. Old School Dan was the first familiar face I saw when I arrived at the venue, which has changed since my last visit in 2004. The problems with the dirty slippery floor of the past have been solved! Sprite fountain drink syrup was used to mop and made for a super grippy and fast surface. Hell yea!

So many people to mention that made my weekend such an amazing time. Special thanks to Team Pralex for the hotel, laughs, and for the induction Signature Team Shirt. (Pralex loves burritos lolo) Brandon Fenton was on hand riding a little and judging, Dub is absolutely killing it so watch out for him this year, Terry Adams is looking sooo dialed, JF is strong as well, and Percy bringing his own style to the table and sooo consistent! Yea Percy! Also a super ninja thanks goes out to Megan for putting up with me this past weekend:)

Next contest is Jomopro in Joplin, Missouri in a month. My ticket is booked and I just received a message from Presheel saying hotels booked as well. Now its practise time :)

I really do love burritos!! haha
