Next Generation Youth BMX Jam at the Wheelmill

0

The Next Generation Youth BMX Jam, which took place on March 8, was a simply awesome event that showed what a killer future BMX has. Young BMX riders travelled for hundreds of miles to shred with other BMXers and participate in the jam at the Wheelmill bike park in Pittsburg. The Wheelmill, with its friendly staff,  was a perfect location, with terrain for all levels of rider. The Halahan family – a super rad BMX family from Pittsburgh – organized the event, a first of its kind and we’re sure there are going to be many more of these. While the emphasis was more about having fun than winning, there were some awards, such as; “heavy hitter”, “fastest tire change”, and “littlest shredder”. Prizes were also awarded at the best trick contest, style cat jam, pump track time trials and more.

From smaller shredders like 5 year old Beau Baker, to 15 year olds that are thinking about pro class, everyone had a good time.

In between events the riding never stopped. There was always a constant flow of radness from these young shredders.

During the “Style Cat” jam, the level of riding, style and consistency was mind blowing. Every single rider was having a blast.

The final event before the awards ceremony was a pro demo by Chris Doyle and a number of others, making an awesome end to a killer day.

Mark Taylor 15 Year Old BMX Edit

15 year old Mark Taylor once again pulling out an absolute banger. The edit speaks for itself. Filmed in broken periods over 2013, whilst trying to dodge GCSEs, a fractured hand, two bike setups, two cameras and A LOT of refilming and re-editing. Mark is clearly one to look out for in the future with a ridiculous bag of tricks and good style. Filmed predominantly at XC Skatepark in Hemel Hempstead UK.
