Last year the Jersey BMX guys took a trip to the states hitting Texas, Florida and NYC and this really sick two part video is the result. This ticks all the boxes, both visually and riding wise. Take it in and then look out for the NYC instalment next week.
"We spent 2 months in the USA, the first one was in Texas and went to Florida for the Swampfest. And the second month was in New York City.
The plan was to film 2 videos parts to announce the beginning of our new brand "JERSEY". So we made the first video part in Texas including the Swampfest trip and another part filmed in NYC.
