DUB BMX Jam at Boneyard Skatepark

I Went and rode at the DUB bmx jam at Boneyard Skatepark last weekend, it was awesome. Check out the video below. I got a clip at 3 mins 48 secs doing an x-up grind to barspin. They even left the clip run long for the air punch! I was chasing it for a while so stoked to get it. Kept getting snaked but didnt mind as the session was going off, so many shredders.

S.O.S Jam at Stratford upon Avon Skatepark 3rd August

Ive been helping to organise a bmx and skateboard event at Stratford upon Avon skatepark which is taking place this weekend. The ethos behind the event is to show the council that not re-developing the site when the leisure centre relocates would be a huge mistake as the skatepark is a huge attraction and draws riders/skaters from all over the uk.



The poster has been designed by Tom Elliott, check it out;

As you can see from the poster i have used my shameless PR skills to secure alot of big sponsorship deals for the jam.

Also check out Kungs website as he has posted about the jam;

The clip is from my section in unsung, its the one where i slide a green rail in Reditch and crash into an upright rail at the end as i was to locked in to pull off early! Pretty funny and even better now its worth £250. Keep an eye out for it. Yooooo!!!!!!!

UNSUNG BMX DVD OUT NOW.........

After breaking my leg at the Epic jam last New Year i had lots of time on my hands and instead of going crazy i hatched the plan to produce a bmx dvd entitled, UNSUNG. After best part of years filming and im not sure if its made more crazy but the dvd is now out in shops nationwide.

The dvd features some of the uk's finest underground bmxers including;

In total the dvd features over 50 shredders!

The extras include a Love Metal Jam edit, Bonus Riding, Stills Gallery and detailed music credits. Simon Tabron has provided unsung with some music and on one of the tracks T.J Lavin is rapping!

The dvd is only £5 and most definatly worth it! If you dont believe me google the words "unsung bmx dvd" and see for yourself.
