Riders Gotta Ride: Knox Rocks! BMX Contest Pics!

This last weekend the guys up at Werks BMX put together an amazing local comp that in the thriving metropolis know as Knox, Indiana. A perfect weekend for sunny sky's and a ton of shredders tearing up this one of a kind Skatepark. Chris Mclaughlin, shown above in the green S&M shirt, of Werks BMX shop throws this Comp every year, and this year was one for the record books.

If you left this contest without any free gear, then you were not standing in the correct spot, product tosses were gong off all weekend, and the kids were stoked! The amount of people who showed up for competition was amazing, around 30 amateurs, 6 Pros, and another 6 in the Dirty-Thirty Class. The Beginner and Novice type guys threw down on Saturday, while the Advanced, Pro, and Dirty-30 Classes on Sunday. The park had car shows, tweenagers running around doing who knows what in the woods, parents, and local supporters were not in short supply.

The competition went off very smooth, and other than way too much trance music, no one went to the hospital and everyone was shredding! I must say that I had an awesome time up there, and this is the kinda thing that BMX needs a whole lot more of! Riders supports local, Rider owned, and operated ventures and this kinda thing is exactly why we do what we do, which is having fun, riding, and watching others tear stuff up! I took all the pictures below and also entered the Dirty-30 Class, so there is no pics of the Dirt 30 Class available. I believe they are gonna do another Jam this fall, and I hope they do, cause I speak for everyone when I say it was an epic and fantastic weekend for BMX! We will keep you posted about any upcoming action coming out of KNOX. Thanks to all who helped out the cause, sponsors, and all the people who made it a blast of time!
