Have you saved your first BMX bike all this time?
Jah Witness: I have held onto my 1984 GT Pro "L" stamp since I've had it. I will never let that go!
Was your first bike the starting point of collecting more?
Jah Witness: No, I was given a GT from the mid '90s by my friend's parents after he passed away. I was clearing out my basement and sold it to a local collector. When he came over to pick it up he saw my '84, and pointed me to the BMX Museum and it opened up a can of worms.
Its winter time again in New England. We have had this place for 1 year now, so that means it was time to switch it up. Got the homies together and tore out the office rooms and the loft above them. Built an entire new section and tied it into the rest of the ramps. Heres a video I filmed over the last month of our friends riding in the new setup.
Video filmed completely at night. Riders featured are Timmy Theus, Ethan Grothe, Josh Carrasco, Alex Emig and more.
First and definitely not last trip to BCN. 28/10 - 4/11 2021

Kink AM Lorenzo Mesa returned back to his connected roots in Costa Rica for a visit and took to the crusty streets for combos upon combos.
Remarkably, and considering how labor-intensive Bicycle tire manufacturing is from a single mold, our first batch of reissue Panaracer Freestyle Tires will be completed on time. Those who have preordered can expect to see their tires in late March, or at the latest, early April (but we feel good about March). We have opted to air freight this first batch into the country to keep our promise on delivery. A second small batch will be arriving by ocean shipment sometime around July. Beyond that, we don’t anticipate seeing any more of the tires available for sale separately until late 2022.
We have updated the website with available inventory from both batches. Please note, we do have a
Setting new goals for the new year is something most of us do. How can you better yourself? Is my training on point or is there someone out there who can teach me more? Is my equipment on point? Do I need to focus on Pumptracks? How do I do on the 8 meter hill? Where is the room for improvement? Mongoose's Payton ‘P-Nut’ Ridenour has tasted what Elite Racing is like and is now building on being stronger in 2022.
