Episode #29 - Next Generation Jam - a podcast by Interviews with the BMX community

The 5th annual Next Generation Jam was held yesterday (April 7th) at The Wheel Mill in Pittsburgh and it was awesome. Over 200 kids under the age of 16 showed up to compete for fun in a no pressure atmosphere as created by the Next Generation Jam volunteers and The Wheel Mill. The amount of donations from the BMX industry and well as local businesses made for a win win situation for any Next Generation rider that participated in any way. Not one kid went home empty handed! I was fortunate to be a sponsor of the event by supplying the award plates for each event (as designed by TJL Photo) and decided to interview boys and girls through the day to get their opinion on the jam. You will also hear from a Wheel Mill local, Jonathan Starks (a paraplegic wheelchair and motorcycle stuntman) as well as event organizer Mike Halahan. Congratulations to everyone who participated and helped make the event happen! Watch for pictures on the Next Generation Jam Instagram as they become available.
