2018 was a wet one. Record-setting rainfall levels for almost the entire trail season had left trail locals all over the northeast feeling a bit bewildered, and frankly, pretty frustrated. Fortunately, the jams we host at Posh and Catty are a catalyst for great times no matter what the weather throws at us. When there is a small army of visiting trail shredders eager to get the trails running by any means necessary, the trails are likely going to run in any weather short of a Category 4 hurricane!
Read More “Photo Gallery: Posh Woods High Air Contest 2018”On Saturday, August 10th, the Next Gen Jam ‘ Youth Jam’ hosted by the Halahan family took place at Catty Woods. Jess Grinager turned out a highlight video from the day’s events which included an obstacle course, wheelbarrow race, best trick contest and riding from kids of all ages. There’s plenty in this video to get stoked on, but that No-Footer to Surfer over the hip by Olivia Miller was rad; click play and check it out!

The GrindWorks BMX Jams, both the Pittsburgh Street Jam and the Binghamton Jam, are in their third year running as sister-jams. Both take place at the same time of year, typically only weeks apart, and share organizers, sponsors, and prizes. Being 300 miles apart, it’s also interesting that they share a lot of the same riders.
