Next Generation Jam 2019

“The Next Generation Jam brings youth shredders from all over America to come together and jam like the big dudes! The jam is for all kids, all abilities and all bikes. The only goal is to have fun on two wheels. The Halahan Family and Mike Potoczny have partnered up for the last 6 years to grow youth BMX and build the community and start the kids off right. This year’s jam at The Wheel Mill is going down April 13th from 12-8pm. Although the prizes and contests are for riders 18 and under, we invite riders of all ages to come out and shred and have good times.” – Michael Potoczny

The Welcome Jam 2016

The 2016 Welcome Jam was held last Sunday, October 16th at Pam’s Front Yard and was organized by Michael and Mark Potoczny. Justin Kendle (@jkendle22) was on hand during the event and captured some footage which he edited together over a track by Fern Street (@fernstreetmusic). You can read some words about the event below written by Justin.

“Huge thanks to the Potoczny family and everyone who dug to get Pam’s Front Yard ready for this year’s Welcome Jam. Here’s an edit I put together. I haven’t filmed and edited BMX much since high school so it was awesome to have the opportunity. Especially with so many shredders in one place. Huge thanks to Fern Street for providing the sound track.” – Justin Kendle
