I found this on James Willsher’s flickr page, H Man clocking Scotty D throwing down some more ridiculous maneuvers. You can also check daily updates on the Ride BMX site too, if the trip media circus is your thing.
| What a day on Sunday and if you didnt turn up you missed out! At least 80+ riders showed their faces for Project 5’s preliminary jam of the year and for those who rode, they didn’t hold back.
We got taken to some sick spots and their was something for everyone, gentle banks to big stairs, gaps and rails, a lot was thrown down in the day. The weather cleared up just before 12 and to end the day perfectly parking was only 50p! No doubt H-man will be working on a write up with photos so expect that in the next couple of days. Many thanks to Project 5 for another successful Streetjam! Next stop Wolverhampton, lets try and get the best show out of all the Jams for that! |

| Yesterday was the first day it’s been possible to ride outside in about 2 weeks. Me and the Count rode Gateshead. He did some good stuff and I did some barspins and 180s, quel surprise. | Dry Day in Gateshead from Pete_G on Vimeo. |
| Message Board lurker Lloyd Wright has been up in London filming some more with the guys from style43. I got a phone call just after midnight last night telling me that there’ll be a new web edit available first thing this morning. Looking at vimeo it got posted up 5 hours ago therefore they must have finished it at 5am, mad lads! | Lloyd Wright Day Edit 2.0 20/08/08 from S43 on Vimeo. |
Mutiny rider Niki Croft has been doing a lot of sponsor moving recently so we caught up with him for a few minutes to ask him what’s been happening. The photos are from a day’s riding up in London filming with Orlando for the Make III.

| James Cox put together a good edit from this weekends Boyley Jam which took place in Hastings Skatepark. I heard there was a good turn out and some riders turned up in fancy dress as per usual. This year the organisers ran it with the addition of the longest jump, check the video for some nasty crashes and hammers getting dropped everywhere. Last trick from Standivan rules! | Channel 4Down BMX :: The 2008 Boyley Jam from Channel 4Down on Vimeo. |
| In order to beat the summer rain last week, Pete, Tom, Scott and myself jumped in Pete’s green machine, pointed it north and headed to Glasgow, with the view to ride, and see the new bowl. We filmed about three clips, but still managed to a squeeze out a two minute video. | Unit 23 trip from agendatom on Vimeo |
