Nigel Sylvester made a couple of edits for Gatorade, this is the first 'morning' part. Nigel shreds Lower Manhattan on this one. Damn this edit makes me wanna go back to New York so much!!! Btw, if you're near New York, the Brooklyn Banks are still open! We (the PlusSizeBMX Team) rode there last week!

Stay tuned for the next episodes!

Street coast jam went down today. A full big bike jam was the main feature of the jam. The setup was simple but effective. There was a box jump (on loan from Aaron Chase) , a quarter (Thanks to BLK MRKT) leaned against a Uhaul truck which became a subbox, a rainbow box courtesy of Atomlab and a few random grindboxes courtesy of Post Bike Shop. The BMX jam ended up being a bunnyhop height contest and a long jump contest. PlusSizeBMX rider Martin Knorr took third in the Bunnyhop comp at 42"!!! Which was by far the highest of any big Bike Riders. The heighest bunnyhop went to New York Legend Big James at 45". The big bikes also crashed the long jump contest. Carter Holland from BLK MRKT made a strong showing but needed a bigger gear. Anson 'Yowelli" Wellington ended up take the long jump at some where around 33 feet. Keep in mind that the ramp was only ten inches high. Some of the highlights from the the Big Bike jam: Billy Lewis (Diamond Back) pulled a Fufanu off the U-haul, Adam Hauck (BLK MRKT) threw down a hurricane on the quarter and a huge cannonball off the box jump and PlusSizeBMX rider and contributor David Wood was the only rider to back flip the box jump. After going down twice on the steep landing David pulled it clean on his third go. The only 20" rider to thrown down with the big bikes was PlusSizeBMX rider Joshua Larson. We shot a lot of video from the jam and will get a full edit out shortly. Until then enjoy a few pics from the day. Tomorrow will be street riding with various characters throughout Manhattan. FYI: The Brooklyn Banks have not yet been closed!! If you can get to the banks you need to go. You will miss them when they are closed for several years.

 Worms (FBM) send s the bar flying

The Brooklyn Bridge is in urgent need of rehabilitation, and this project is slated to begin in 2010 and expected to finish in 2014. During this time, a portion of the Brooklyn Banks will be closed for use by the contractor. When the storage area is established, more than half of the area currently used as a skatepark will be available for public use.

The scope of work for this project also includes painting, which is expected to begin in the winter of 2010. During painting work, the park will be closed to provide the space required for painting operations. After the painting work in this area is complete, anticipated for mid 2010, the park will be reopened with the exception of the storage area. The park will completely reopen when the rehabilitation is completed. DOT has been working closely with Steve Rodriguez, spokesperson for the Brooklyn Banks and the communities that use it, to share this space without compromising the vital reconstruction of the Brooklyn Bridge.

The person to contact for future complaints/issues/info is:

Jan 15th until 4-6 months later- both overpasses that go over the banks area will be covered and painted (pretty much entire banks area from Pearl to Rose streets will be closed and off limits).
Once overpasses are painted(approx summer 2010)- the north ramp (ramp furthest away from the bridge itself) will be uncovered and the area that is not used for staging will be open


In the photo below, this area will be closed for the 4 years after the summer of 2010. Everything to the left of the red line will be behind a temporary wall. The line goes all the way to Rose street- that is the closed road between the big banks and the small banks. This will pretty much make the actual "banks" unrideable because as we all know it is very difficult to ride them from such an extreme angle.





This photo shows that the upper banks area will be pretty much rideable up until the end of the steel flatbar.
