OUTSIDE [jomopro2012]


this video is for all the riders that came out this year, and everyone that helped me get there myself.

i wanted to not only film links outside of the contest runs, but get myself outside. i tried to capture the kinds of things i see when i don't have my camera with me. many clips were filmed from far away, allowing the pure vibe and riding to take place.

thanks for taking the time to check this out, and if you like it, please share it with a friend.

thanks!

Vet Class now apart of Voodoo Flatland Jam

The Vet Class was a big success at JoMoPro this year with 14 competitors. There is a large surge of older riders get back on there bikes and having fun and doing some tricks. We need as many riders as we can get to compete again at VoodooJam in New Orleans on June 9, 2012. The definition of a vet rider is someone that is over the age of 30 not riding at a expert class level. So go on over to http://voodoojam.com/ and register now!

Here are highlights from Jomopro2012 Expert Class. These clips were taken from the qualification round.

It is a epic moment that you just really needed to be there to really appreciate. The energy in the room was amazing. This final trick pretty much put the nail in the coffin! Props Todd Gully!

Brett Downs- RIde Everything


Words from Brett Downs- At 44 years old I wanted to put something together for my friends. This stuff is mostly recent and is an example of daily riding. I see very few videos with people mixing up riding styles that I wanted to show that one person can ride Flat, Street, Vert or Park. Didn't have time to get to the dirt jumps so that will have to be another time. Don't think of this as old school or some middle aged kook. I'm just a rider, same as you. Hope you enjoy the vibe and it makes you want to ride your bike.

Just ride-that's the bottom line.

HISTORY
The annual JoMoPro flatland contest started in 2009 as an addition to the existing BMX park contest that was already in its fourth year. Using the venue and resources provided by the amazing staff at The Bridge, a team of volunteers including head organizer Pat Schoolen (from Flatland Fuel) stepped up to help introduce the flatland contest, which quickly became a huge success.

"The JoMoShowdown and JoMoPro events built on the desire to provide a platform for up and coming BMX riders and Skateboarders to compete against and develop relationships with other riders/skaters from all over the world. We want to provide a fun and well executed competition experience for the up and coming riders and skaters in the Midwest and beyond. As well as provide an opportunity for people from the community to experience BMX and Skateboarding first hand." -The Bridge

*The Bridge is a venue that includes a skatepark (Autumn Ramp Park), a youth center with rock climbing, basketball, video games, etc., and an all-ages music venue (The Foundry). The flatland contest will take place inside The Foundry. Scroll down to learn more about the venue and floor surface.

Melanie Denton Relief Fund.

Melanie is a 19 year old BMX rider who was hurt badly while riding a spine ramp at a jam recently in Austin Texas. After shredding all day, she went over the bars coming down the spine and landed face first. She was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance and suffered some major facial damage. Melanie like many others currently has no health insurance and many bills are stacking making the situation a lot harder to deal with. After surgery and the ER visit she is roughly $9,000 in debt from this one wreck and is reaching out to the BMX world requesting donations to help during this healing time. Please be kind from one BMX rider to another. Giving anything you can will always be helpful. Every dollar counts!

Rad Dad- 2 Links at the O.G.




Had a great session with Tod Miller, David Larocca, Randall Edwards and Chris Anderson. There is always something magical that happens at the Oltorf Garage. I start riding like I have been trying all week long. Things just fell into place today. This is just 2 of the several links that I landed during the session.

Flatland in the media is highlighted with commercials from Toyota and Docomo, specials featuring Matt Wilhelm and a an unusual NBA halftime show with Keith King.

Jomopro training continues. I didn't have much time to ride today but I was able to squeeze out 2 links for today. I need to become more focused in the next few weeks so I can pull these kinds of tricks on command. We will see what we can do in the next couple of weeks.

Chris Armstong Trick of the Month Lung Spin



Thanks to Paul and Chris for sending in this month Trick of the month. Lung Spin!

BMX Freestyler Mail Bag!

Today I received a wonderful message from Ruben Castillo in South America. Thank you so much Ruben for sharing your story. Stories like yours keep the spirit of riding going and encoraging others out there to get back on the bike to ride.

Mark, good afternoon
My name is Ruben Castillo, not the famous one, just a beginner from south America. I frequently visit bmxfreestyler, I got used to this after I watched your video “ My first decade”, thanks for sharing your experiences with all of us. I have been encouraged for your videos and notes.
I am 34 years old, tried freestyle when I was 19 but could not get any progress, however, I decided to try it once again eight months ago, but this time I am having a nice progress besides my age. My wife encouraged me to send this beginner video for backwards steamroller, the trick I have learned during this eight months practicing two hours per week.
I hope you will enjoy knowing that you are very famous at home, and we thank you a lot for encouraging people to do not stop and continue enjoying the pleasure of riding.
God bless You
Ruben
