Ed’s Games!!!
A few weeks back, Gary Young, Jake Seeley, Lee Dennis and myself headed out east to New Jersey to attend the 3rd annual Ed’s Games. ESPN just posted the video from the event which was a totally blast. Jake and I were lucky enough to attend the first one and this one was no different. So much fun! Can’t wait for next year.
Trail Season is here!
Tom Arkus sent over this video of him riding through his local trail spot Hazelwood. These jumps are super big and scary! I still don’t know how they casually ride them. Trail season has started!
Tom’s Conductor bike check and Arizona Trip video over on ESPN.

Alex Magallan blast from the past!
This probably hasn’t been seen by too many people, but this is Alex Magallan’s section from the Nashville scene video Nobody Special. You can see why he ended up on Sunday. Here is what Alex had to say about it.
Nobody special the first underground bmx video to really capture a bit of the Nashville Scene. This video was created by Chris Mahaffey a local to the Middle TN tribe. I always thank Chris any chance I get. Dude did alot for myself and a bunch of other guys around the area. From helping people with frames and parts to traveling, filming and exposing some Nashville talent. After a couple deadlines, the video dropped during the summer of 2006. My hair was long, jeans were skin
tight and was probably hounding some metalCore or savage LIFE. Times were fun! Thanks again Chris! Enjoyed!

Jake Seeley from Up, Up & Away!
Jake Seeley kills it in his section from Up, Up & Away! Tech street riding from back when he was running a freecoaster. All these clips are still modern today especially all the long icepick grinds. Heard he’s coming to the Texas Toast Jam just to enter the 100 foot long icepick grind event. Give his section another watch because it’s really good.
Jake Seeley teaches…
The guys over at Ride BMX just put up a Jake Seeley Luc-e grind 180 how to video. Jake’s been doing these forever, so he’s a good one to teach it. Good luck!
