As always there are some wild crashes during the Hard Yards Jam so we’ve packed them all together for 7 minutes of everyone going in 110%!
Since Chris Courtenay’s indoor park The Village recently went through a make over we thought it would be a good excuse to get a solid amount of the crew together and hit the new setup!

The crew got creative when we had “Best Trick” on the wallride setup at Hard Yards. Checkout all the highlights from the session…
Riders featured…. Chris James, Sean Gardner, Pat Fallico and Karl Southern.
Hards Yards #1 presented by Colony BMX was a different kind of event with the aim to be all about fun & great riding. Inspired by legendary events in the past, The Metro Jam’s & Rebel Jam’s from the 2000’s.
With a different format to most BMX jams of late, jam format, rider judged & winners in various classes such as, Tech, Style & Flow as well as Burly. Plus best trick events on the street spine, wall ride & sub-rail / hitching post.
With an invite list of 20 riders from all over Australia, a broad range of rider styles in the mix, the level of riding was a treat to watch.
The guys were all having a blast while aiming to grab a share of the $4,500 rider purse.

It’s Chris James’s 32nd birthday on the Friday of ACT Jam next week so come help celebrate with CJ! After Friday’s Belco session head down to the Lighthouse Pub in Belco. We’ll also be giving away a Blaster frame to one lucky rider who shreds all weekend as picked by Chris.
We’ll hook the winner up with the frame Sunday after the last jam at the Epic Pavilion.

Who better than Chris James to teach you how to air a quarter? Chris starts you off with a small quarter and works his way up to the larger ramps.
If you have any questions feel free to ask in the comments and we’ll do our best to help.
