With footage spanning over roughly a 5 year period, Bumscat volume 2 is a compilation of footage from the homies all mixed into this 6 minute edit.
Alex Hiam comes out firing from the get go in his section pulled from the Take A Ticket full length.
Actual lockdowns are lifting, but it's still best to stay clear of people and reduce unnecessary travel, so trips with our team riders are still on hold for now. The good thing is that the team is still shredding and riding street and parks that are open in their areas.

Who picks the frame colours each year? And are you happy with the current colours?
Jay Schippers: The guys at Meybo decide which colour we ride each year. I think the new 2021 colours are looking great!
What's the purpose of the chain device that you guys are running?
Jay Schippers: Because we have a fixed rear end and no real chain tensioners at the back of the frame. They have built a special tensioner that is mounted/integrated to the side of the frame. It is really easy to use if you have to change your gearing, you just slide it up or down.
Do you use the same bike for pump track / trail / jump sessions?
Jay Schippers: Yes I do. I used to have a special trail jump bike. But haven’t used it for a while now.

Ethan Corriere and BJ Bolton get their fill of riding in a few short hours riding a local college campus. As usual, the boys deliver some fire moves!
With many of the team enjoying the increased responsiveness and feel that a shorter crank arm offers, we looked into the possibility of also moving the pedal body closer to the bottom bracket to achieve a similar feel and advantage.
