River City Trick Jam

After Midwest Mayhem everybody started wondering when the next big freestyle event would be. Well I think its here. The River City Trick Jam is going to have a ton of big names at it and having the NAHMBS happening out there the same weekend its sure to draw a crowd. So if you weren’t able to make it to Mayhem then this is your chance to make it up. It all starts on February 27 in Richmond VA. Check the flyer for details.

Desert Polo Invite

It’s the second annual Desert Polo Invite down in Tempe, AZ. Turnout should be big so if your in the area make sure you stop out. Even if you aren’t participating there will be side games going. If you are participating then your whole team has a chance to win Julian 48h wheelsets! The tournament is February 20+21 and it looks like they’ve set this one up really nicely.

So Kris from LockedCog just threw up his edit from Midwest Mayhem. He and Alex got some great shots including LaMarche’s 360, Mike Schmitt’s drop in, and Wonka’s epic wall grind. Check it out.

I told you guys we’d have more updates as the week rolled on. I just found some good clips from Fyxation including a full cab from Prolly, a big one from Tom LaMarche, and a crazy drop in from Mike Schmitt. Check them below.

Midwest Mayhem Wrapup

So Midwest Mayhem was just crazy. Huge turnout, huge tricks, this thing blew up into something no one was ready for. A lot of people have posted some good pictures and videos already and I’m sure there are some better ones to come later in the week. We had our sponsored rider Kris from LockedCog come out and he hit some pretty nice tricks including the sparking pedal grind above. Also, there’s a few shots from our weekend riding around town like the monster 8 stair he hit. It was a great weekend altogether and we sent Kris back with some good stories. More to come on the event as the week progresses. To spare the redundancy I’ll list some links to other coverage below for those of you who haven’t seen it yet. Check back for more edits all week!

Midwest Mayhem Update

For those of you living under rocks the last few weeks, here’s you’re final update before Midwest Mayhem this weekend. This has turned out to be one of, if not the biggest fixed gear freestyle event this winter. Some big names are coming out for it so if your in the Milwaukee area make sure to stop out. I think this event is going to set the stage for things to come in 2010 with fixed gear freestyle. See you there!
