OneLoveJam2017 ReUp

So I finally get a chance to talk about what went on almost a few weeks back now, its amazing how long it takes you to get back into the swing to thing after having such a surreal trip of the first year. Ok so the 7th annual OneLoveJam was of course on MLK weekend was extra special, first it was my big 43 day on this earth and second my homie fat joe bka halfpacker man, bka jody mf' temple made his first appearance on Southern California soil.
This year I decided to meet the homies down south so I booked a flight with Virgin which I gotta tell ya they are the most modern version of flight I'm down for this airline service. Any way it was on it's 2nd week of rain and my ray of hope was leaving Tuesday as the sky starts to fall, I mean so much that they had to switch pilots because the due was too green to fly out of the bay with the high winds and no coverage, yeah you couldn't even see the planes on the tarmac at one point. I finally made it after a very long 1 hour flight...lol the homie Ahmed came thru and we went to Venice to chill and was taxi over to anther homie place where I would be staying till the Air BNB was open on Friday. Wed morning I put the old girl together and snapped my new half link, luckily there was a shop near by but I wouldn't recommend it to anybody, what shop owner would sell you a link that wasn't the same thickness?? Any way I bought his overpriced non hollow pin half link chain and went down to LBC to meet up with young shredder Bene. The next day was rain, I mean like NorCal rain so I took the Metro up to Hollyhood to meet B Carter, Jody, and the Duke.
Friday was the big pre jam, I was stoked to be there this year, since I missed the last one. Lots of dude rode hard all day long, as the sun set, I headed down to Newport Beach to meet up with the Athens Fam, it's been a min since we all except Dane have been under the same roof. Im afraid Andrew's girl thought the stories he told were alternative facts.

Saturday was the day, OMG so many people where at the spot hella early, which is fine but man once everybody gets there its hard to find a good place to session, but hey its a jam theres no need to be a hermit. I feel like the fakie manny is the new steamroller, or maybe freecoasters are at the peak of perfection, I shall study this more. Then of course the epic fat sack give away, s/o to all the sponsors...I don't think any contest last year stateside even gives as much swag to the contestants and this is just a jam.  Once again THANK YOU sponsors, without you this would not be one of the first big event of the year. And thank you to all the supporters coming out every year!

Well I can tell you more, but heres some pictures and an edit, hope to see y'all next year same bat channel same bat time!
Peace

Sick in Bed

Man last week was the most brutal week in a while, working my last week at my other job and starting full time at another was killing my immune system. So this week I'm back. Lets kick it off with the homie Jimalog out in Japan. Dude is known for his infamous jams and putting one together for visiting riders. Takuj always said Im welcome to come and check one out, I will take him up on that soon. Till then check out the Mantis and other locals in the Ben Jam!

#PistoleroJam2016 Date Is Set

Lalo just put some great news in the air, PistoleroJam is back and the date is October 22nd at the Long Beach Marina. The Part Swap was a hit, I saw a lot of riders who couldn't afford nice new parts walk a way with some smiles, I think I even saw a pair of Air Force 1's! Hit up Lalo on Facebook for more details as the event fold. See you #pistolero's there, oh shit don't forget to check out footage by Tim Knoll and myself.

pistolero Jam LBC

I know I always say it, It's been a while...yada yada yada. Anyway I saw a few months back there was going to be a jam in LA. It is very rare so I made plans to head down. Pistolero Jam happens to be at a great time of the season. The day is still kinda long, but short if you know what I mean, in just a few weeks we will be in darkness around 4ish.

I started my journey on Thursday, I took the back roads to check out the vineyards in hopes of taking a few pics with, yes I know, I'm a hipster my SLR film camera. By the time I chilled out and snapped a few shots, OSG hit me up seeing if I had left the bay. So I swooped down to pick up his trifling ass. 

Once there we loaded up, and he took me to his man cave so we could get our minds right for the journey. He has a few gems, maybe I can work a barter with him.

yeah we went down to check it out

Hmm maybe about a few hours into the ride, we are approching Fresno, I do like that Planet Asia is native there but it is Central Valley, anyway OSG gets a ring from his homie Mutt. Mutt is saying I-5 South is closed because of the mudslide, we checked the world wide web and he was right??!? Fuck so we headed down some detour down a road in the middle of know where to hit 101 South, which was packed. Made it to a rest stop outside of Santa Barbra and took a nap before heading in to LA. We arrive at B. Carter to meet Andrew W for a tour into DTLA. It was very grey for LA, I guess El'nino is impacting their climate more. Later that day we had lunch and headed down to Burbank to Bobby's new spot. Even though it was only 7 miles away, part of the main highway was shut down because of a jumper. So it took an hour and half to reach the spot. I watch OSG cringe at the site of cars and crazy LA drivers. 

despite what ed says he's still killing it

After the sesh we made it down to the event organizer home, so we could be closer to the mesh and get a good parking spot. The next day after coffee and some food we headed down to Newport Beach. We arrived to see a car show on the courts, even a sign that said "no bikes". Lalo made a quick adjustment to the FB event wall and change the location to the LBC Marina. 

never trust a skinny pastry cook 

Like I said earlier, it's rare SoCal has a jam lately, Lalo and Richard delivered. The "partluck" was something I never heard of, all I know is riders who had broken parts or indeed got hooked up! The riding & weather was unreal! Flatland trickery from all different styles, so many different style for miles. Thong was the man BBQ, while various riders donated drinks and snacks. At the end of the day we took a group shot, and many continue to ride until the sun was gone.

It really was an awesome time despite the crazy detour, I can't wait for next year Pistolero Jam. Hope to see you there. Thanks again Lalo for giving us a place to lay our heads, and thanks to all the riders who let me catch them in the act on film.

OneLoveJam is back for our fourth installment. This year we have a new location, and we have partnered up with Intrikat to bring to you a flatland jam of epic proportions.

This year's One Love Jam will be held at Newport Beach.  This spot is as close as you can get to the beach without getting your bike wet.

As always there will be a bunny hop contest and cash prize to the highest hop! Also, don't forget the infamous raffle where you could win a fat Primo prize sack

See you M'fers soon!

4/20Jam Edit

Well we could not ask for a better day.  The 4/20Jam went down last weekend.  Plenty of sun and fun.  Its a good thing those SoCal dudes didnt show up.  All the prizes were split up to everyone who came out.  We call that up here CaliLove.  Best trick went to OSG, second place went to Sparker.  I love NorCal, for a couple of reasons. One, Everybody loves to get together for beers, bikes, and BBQ.  Two It's NorCal, and if you never been up here then you will never know.
Well here's the edit.  Enjoy!

4/20 Jam in 4 Days

Yep 4 days left.  Its looking like its going to be a great turn out.   Maybe there might be some footage, its hard to film and ride, sorry I'd rather ride than film, but if you really want to catch the action then you're going to have to come out, especially if you are already in California.  Funny how the NorCal guys can rally down for a jam but we never hear from those SoCal guys....much love to your scene but you guys really need to take a trip up here.  Don't forget we are holding our first flat best trick contest during the jam.  Prize will be giving out to the best trick.  Big shoutout to our sponsors for helping out this event!  See you this Saturday!

Lighters

Fuck yeah!  Deco is throwing down some love.  Can't have a 4/20Jam without lighters.  Here's an updated flyer!

OneLoveBMX/OneLoveJam2013 Edit

The third annual OneLoveJam2013 went down this last weekend.  Big thanks to all our sponsors.  We raffled off 10 fat sacks at this year event, and Brock won $100 dollars cash for another first place at the bunny hop contest.
After the jam, we headed up to Bear Mountain with professional snowboarder Bo Wade to shred the gnar.  This was the best way to end such a killer weekend.  Thanks Bo for taking us out to the slopes.
If you never been to a OneLoveJam then you need to mark your calenders now.  OneLoveJam is held every MLK weekend in January. See you next year!
