D.I.Y. World Championships- Post 1

 This is a quick post with a few pics from yesterday's fun at the D.I.Y. World Championships.  Backed by FBM Bikes and held at Powers Bike Shop here in Richmond, Virginia, it was a BLAST.  I'll get into all the fun details later tonight or tomorrow.  There's a jam at the trails and pump track today in a bit.  Up above, rider blasting 7 feet above the RAMPLIFLIER.

 The man behind it all.  "Hey, lets get a ton of scrap wood, build a 3,000 pound cinder block, get a bunch of guys to build shit to ride after work, and have a good ol' time without corporate sponsors, any kind of budget, or all that stuff.  BMX fun at its core.  Steve Crandall, FBM bikes founder, daily rider, black bus liver, and DIY Jam Master of (lack of)Ceremonies. 

 360 from a tall launch into the most wobbly trailer mini halfpipe I've ever seen. 

 A huge cinder block that will survive the apocalypse, a piece of wood laid up on it, and a BMXer blasting some kicked out trails style.  Roots.

 Old school X-up, one of the classic tricks from early BMX days, launch to mini half.

Cruelsifix is playing between the foreground ramp and the RAMPLIFLIER in the back, pyro smoke rising, and an aborted ice pick or something on the knobs as we all rock out.  Props to the band for covering an Agent Orange song, you made this old punker's day with that one.

More pics and words later... both here and on Instagram. 

I'm going to be sharing most of my old school BMX stories on the new Block Bikes Blog from now on, check it out...
