Adam DiClaudio 27th Birthday Jam

     On October 4, 2010 Adam DiClaudio turned 27. The way that we helped Adam celebrate his birthday was to come to the O.G. and have a B-Day Jam.  At the Jam was Adam, Rad Dad, Brett,Randall and Mariah-Rae. Most of the session was recorded by setting up the camera at one end of the garage and letting it run the most of the time. Any time some one landed a completed trick I would run up to the camera and mark that part of the video with my hand for 5 seconds. During the last part of the session Adam and I were talking about his new 360 flip and how he landed it 2 times back to back but it was not on film yet. There was 8 minutes left on tape. Adam took a few spills but he got it in less than 8 minutes with about 2 minutes to spare. Hope you had fun on  your birthday Adam!

Red Bull- Most Wanted

BMX RIDERS SEEK TO CAPTURE ELUSIVE TRICKS
IN RED BULL MOST WANTED
-Top 20 Regional Riders Converge on Austin to
 “Bounty Hunt” in Innovative Competition-
 


WHO: South Texas’ top BMX riders, on their own version of the steel horse, ready to track down some of the most “criminal” tricks in BMX today. Riders are competing for quite a bounty - $4,000 - or roughly the reward for the Sundance Kid’s head.

WHAT: Red Bull Most Wanted captures the spirit of the notorious bounty hunting of the Wild Wild West, where outlaws like Jesse James and Butch Cassidy roamed the land and evaded local sheriffs. “Wanted” posters offered huge rewards for their capture, dead or alive.

Competing riders will navigate up alleys, down rails, over obstacles, and through iconic ride spots around Austin in search the “most wanted” BMX tricks.
Riders will meet at Empire BMX, where 60 bounties (a bounty is a specific BMX trick to be performed at a specific location) will be offered up to them. The riders will then attempt to “capture” them and earn the amount of cash that each bounty is worth.

Following the competition, at 3:00 p.m., a BMX jam session open to the public will begin at the infamous Ninth Street Trails. There, local riders will have the chance to prove their skills and earn cash of their own.

WHEN: October 23, 2010
11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

WHERE: Start: Empire BMX
1114 W. 5th Street #A
Austin, TX 78703
Finish: Ninth Street Trails
900 W. 9th Street
Austin, TX 78703

Ground Breaking Session in Round Rock


   Today in Round Rock, Texas we had a ground breaking flatland session. Riders included Chris,Joseph Rob and myself Rad Dad. We all live with in 5 miles of each other and we just recently found out during a few blog comments and facebook messages that were recently exchanged.  We rode in a perfectly flat pavilion that was just perfect for riding flatland. We are going to make this a weekly mid week session to session with each other in our different spots. We started off by riding in Rob's spot at the pavilion. Maybe next week we will hit up the Ville. We are definitely going to hit up Team McDuff and session at the park.

    This was the first of many session to come. If you missed it check out Robs email to me that sparked all of this.

This whole experience brought up how bmx freestyler got started. For those that have been around long enough you might still remember Find A Riding Buddy. I started that a long time ago but due to lack up accurate information I had to let it go. It makes me think now. What if I was to build another data base again to help other riders find riders. Its a idea that I might run with in 2011.

Keep on Riding!
