Photo Gallery: O’Hara Trails – Friday The 13th Jam

Everyone loves these corner jumps that bring you back into the main set. Ryan Serrano laying it Flat.

On Friday, October 13th, 2017 the locals (@nobikesinthelivingroom) that maintain the O’Hara Trails in Springfield, Pennsylvania hosted a ‘Friday the 13th’ jam to celebrate the most unlucky day of the year with an open invitation to ride the legendary trails. For the locals, the majority of the trail riding season was spent combating weather damage from the winter, several harsh rainfalls including the fallout from Tropical Storm Cindy, and building new lines. After all that hard work, the jam was a perfect opportunity for the locals to enjoy the fruits of their labor with the trail riding community. The combination of the fall weather mixed with smooth running lines kept the jam and the good times going well into the night.

Ride PA BMX contributing photographer Kyle Dipilla was on hand during the event to shoot some photos on our behalf. You can check out the full gallery of photos in hi-res, after the jump. Don’t forget to follow @nobikesinthelivingroom for more from the O’Hara Trails and @dipillaphotography for more photography from Kyle.

Featured Photo: Jeff Purdy

Our ‘Featured Photo’ this week is a double dose of Jeff Purdy getting rad at the O’Hara Trails in Delaware County, PA. The first photo showcases Jeff properly dipping a Toboggan over a set and the second is a classic (and personal favorite) One Handed Tabletop. Both photos were shot by Brendan Mulrooney during a session at the trails last week.

If you haven’t been paying attention, Jeff was recently picked up by both GT Bikes and The Daily Grind and is currently heavily involved in filming for Stink Pit 5 and the L.O.W. BMX video. Brendan Mulrooney has also just started up an Instagram account for his photography which you can follow by clicking here.

The O’Hara Trail Jam was held last Sunday, November 6th, by a group of locals that have maintained the trails for the past few years. The event gathered BMX riders from all over to celebrate what could be the trails last season. Over the past few years, the land the O’Hara Trails sit on has been threatened by development. Kyle Dipilla was on hand during the event and provided some coverage for our social media accounts. Kyle also shot some photos during the coarse of the day which he was kind enough to send over for your viewing pleasure. You can view all the photos from the O’Hara Trail Jam after the jump.

O’Hara Trail Jam Weekend

The O’Hara trails will be having what will likely be their first and last trail jam ever on October 11th and 12th. The trails are set to be destroyed to make way for big business and housing development.

The O’Hara trails have stood for over a decade and have been featured in countless magazines and videos, most notably the Little Devil “Criminal Mischief” video. Built by hand and maintained through the years by local riders, the destruction of the trails will truly be the end of an era for the Delaware County area.
