The VANS REBEL JAM will be taking place this weekend at the York Hall in London (UK). The contest is very STREET orientated and this can be evidenced by the fact they got Brian Kachinsky in to design the course. At present over sixty pro riders will be battling it out for a piece of the 20,000 euro pro purse. The event itself is free to watch but make sure you get there early enough to get a spectator position (it will no doubt be packed). If you can not make it to the event then don’t worry – you can still watch it for free from home! The URL to watch the event live is: www.redbull.co.uk/rebeljam. Enjoy! – Chris@VS Continue reading “/// Events: Vans Rebel Jam 2014!!! ///”

A few weeks before the opening day I had been asked by David Bennett (of the KB/SP committee) if I could help make provisions for a BMX demo – I made numerous telephone calls and text messages, which resulted in the collaboration of a small team for the events BMX demo.
The team itself was called the ‘Valleyside Stunt Team’ and consisted of; Ryan Gorman, Gee Coles, Robbie Meade, Arron Whitaker and myself (Chris Smith).
