Posh Woods High Air Contest

September 5, 2018 by Purcey

The third annual Posh Woods High Air Contest was held this past weekend despite a rainy Labor Day weekend forecast. The jam was pushed from Saturday to Sunday, September 2nd, due to some rain that lasted through Friday night into early Saturday morning. For the locals, Saturday’s postponement provided a last-minute opportunity to fix the damage caused by the storm and get everything running smoothly for the following day.

This year a ‘Best Whip’ contest was also added to the mix with the jam kicking off at 10 am Sunday and the contest portion at 1 pm. In the end, Ever Peacock emerged as the 2018 High Air Champion, clearing over fifteen feet of air on The Butcher Jump as well as taking first in the ‘Best Whip’ contest. Congratulations to all the winners and a huge thank you to Jess Grinager for filming and editing the above video as well as the Posh locals, from whom none of this would be possible without.

Adem Gunaydin – Welcome To Legend Bikes

August 12, 2018 by Purcey

Ride PA BMX is proud to present the exclusive premiere of Adem Gunaydin’s “Welcome To Legend Bikes” video. Adem was picked up by Legend Bikes shortly after the third and final stop of the Uncovered BMX series which took place at the Four Seasons Skatepark in Milwaukee earlier this year. While Adem has been recovering from surgery on his ACL, MCL, and meniscus, his “Welcome Edit” is composed of footage that pre-dates his knee injury. The video was filmed and edited by Nick Elison with additional filming provided by Chris Girouard. Congratulations to Adem and we look forward to seeing him back on his bike soon.

Don’t forget to follow Adem and Legend Bikes on Instagram and check out the Legend Bikes website for more. You can also catch the trailer for the video below.

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

April 12, 2018 by Purcey

*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.
