  • Judges included Gus Molina, Andy Sparks, and Jacob Santos

Shoutout to Adam and Andy for another successful event and giving us a reason to all get together!

Off Track Ep. 39 – JONATHAN DAVIS

Today we get one of the most gnarly senders in the sport’s history Jonathan Davis AKA Jonny Dirt AKA JD into the virtual studio! We discuss the old times, coming up, bike history, trips, being unlucky, the collapse of SE Bikes, and more!

ZACH BABINSKI FOR MERRITT

This was a super unexpected drop over the weekend! Our dude Zach Babinski just dropped a heater of a solo video for Merritt BMX. I’m not just saying this because we don’t see many web edits anymore, but Zach’s riding is super refreshing to watch. There aren’t too many people sending themselves these days and that’s pretty much all Zach is programmed to do. There are some MASSIVE sends in this and I’m so here for it.

Not only is Zach not afraid to throw himself off anything he can find, he can toss the bars whatever way he wants. His natural barspin is to the left, so pay close attention while you watch this. He has a lot of switch bars in this that look just as good as his regular bars. Oh yeah, that ender is a switch barspin by the way.

He’s currently recovering from a gnarly leg break, so flood the comments of the edit with some love for Zach cause he deserves it. WELL DONE MY GUY.

FOAD – NOWHERE FAST, SOMEWHERE SLOW OUT NOW

After what feels like an eternity since it’s initial previewing at SMC 7, Jackson has finally finished this masterpiece that is Nowhere Fast, Somewhere Slow. I’m glad Jackson took his time with this though. It’s nearly an entirely different video from it’s initial version and I think we’ve got an instant classic on our hands.

The talent in this is really fun. We’ve got Jackson, Chase, Evan, Ramona, Macee, Parker, and other friends that we all either know and love or are learning about for the first time. We’ve got a combination of street track riding, crit racing, and insanely high level Trick Track tricks from Jackson and Chase.

All this footage is mixed and matched in such a fun way too. I think Jackson pushed some barriers in editing style and really went for something different. It’s impressive both on a creative level and a technical level and kept my eyes glued the whole time.

This will be on repeat for a while for me. Absolutely crushed it Jackson + gang!

FIXIE FOO JAM FULL RECAP

Coverage of the FIXIE FOO JAM that went down last Saturday March 14th. Socks were high, foos were out, and tricks were going down! Shoutout to the boys Kris Sundet, Jacob Santos, Corey San Agustin, and Deacon for holding the camera all day. Another shoutout to Oscar and the homies for hosting such a fun day. Already looking forward to the next one!

Off Track Ep. 38 – ELLIOTT MILNER

This week in the virtual studio we’ve got one of the GOATs of our sport, Elliott Milner! We discuss his origins, Stay Strapped, how he get so damn good, some beefs, and so much more. Huge shoutout to Elliott for joining the show!
