After 17 years driving the Factory Redline rig to races across the US, Team Manager, Jason Carnes is ready to show you the time of your life, touring the USA, seeing all the sights, riding hot spots only insiders know about, and hitting key USA BMX national events along the way. Jason Carnes Berm Academy offers tours from one to six weeks in length, throughout the 2017 season. “The Ultimate Summer Tour” is one of the early favorites, and includes the UCI BMX Worlds in Rock Hill, SC and an incredible coast to coast tour of the USA (hitting the Worlds, plus three USA BMX nationals).
You'll ride like royalty and pit like a pro, all under the guidance of a racer and factory team manager with over one million miles of tour experience under his belt— Jason Carnes!
Here’s what Sam Willoughby says about touring with Jason:
"I have had the privilege of staying and traveling with Jason Carnes for the past seven years. Jason is the most caring guy I know! His specialty is traveling the country and stopping at every BMX fun spot along the way. Jason has been doing this for longer than most of us have been alive and is therefore very diligent when it comes to organization and safety. You will laugh more than ever and learn more than you would believe. I cant wait to jump on board the Berm Academy bus soon."
Monster Energy is proud to congratulate Kyle Baldock, Pat Casey, and Colton Walker on their podium sweep at the first ever Toyota BMX Triple Challenge. This event was the first of a three-stop dirt series that will take place during select Monster Energy Supercross events. The Toyota BMX Triple Challenge aims to bring together the best BMX riders in the world with a points-based, open series for anyone in the world to take part in. The first event, held during A1 in Anaheim, California, was an amazing intro to the series with riders coming from as far as Poland and Australia for their chance to compete against 50 riders in this new, world-class event.
It was particularly hard to film in this spot as most of the ramps are 5ft or smaller but it's on my door step, it's only 3.5 and its cool to give your local parks some coverage. I will be shooting TWS4 this year but I need to build some perfect setups and go to some epic parks!

Simple Session brings the whole worlds BMX family to Estonia to shred and spread positive vibes. The event gathers together the community of BMX where all styles of riding is respected, judged equally and everyone parties their butt off. The SS event series is one huge riders celebration where the brother and sisterhood of BMX meet in a faraway country of Estonia somewhere in North-Eastern Europe where medieval fairytale meets the post-soviet ghost. ? With 17 years of history the SS contest is one of worlds longest running BMX events with the biggest international turnout. Thanks to everyone for their continuous love and support!
I've had this idea for awhile and we finally made it happen. Pretty stoked how everything turned out. Thanks to Jabe Jones, Alex Lomelli and Seth Hawkins for helping make this happen!
Watch Mike Varga, Kevin Peraza, Daniel Sandoval, Pat Casey, Colton Walker, Brandon Loupos, Kyle Baldock, Dawid Godziek, and many more completely shut down this weekend's stop of the Monster Toyota BMX Triple Challenge in Anaheim, California!
