Mount Hawke Jam 2009

Just wanted to give a big shout to Mikie and crew for organizing another rad jam at Mount Hawke on Sunday. Everyone was shredding! Massive props goes out to my boi Ben Sutor for taking the win in PRO spine! Pro spine was packed full of shredders, Martyn Tambling, Toby Cresswell, Dan + Del Sheppard etc. Check Ben's web edit below as an example as to how it shut it down!

I (nik ford) rode PRO street and for the record kept it STREET! X-up grind to bars, bars on the tight vertwall, tooth down the rail. For my stunt to end on I sent the 180 over the new double thing over the whole driveway. Got super close but couldnt slow the roll back down enough and on like my 5th go I slammed proper hard and have now got 2 bruised hips, bruised left heal, bruised right knee, stiff left wrist, grazed back and buttocks and to top it all off whiplash!

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.
