A sorry note for the few who view....


I appologize for the lack of effort in posting the goings on at the shop lately. I have been consumed with organizing the jam. Thats right, unless this is the first time you have heard anything from me, you have heard me talk about New England Jam Chowda. I have been spending most of my days for the past few months making phone calls, and answering emails, trying to get the 40 or so different shops and brands all together on one day, Sunday Oct. 6th 2014. I have been working with everyone to get info to promote their brands, shops, websites and so on. Getting people what they need to get obstacles built, ideas, plans, art, and so much more. Editing videos, getting shirts printed, signs made, renting dunk tanks, porto-potties, sound systems. Getting people places to camp, hotels, rides to and from the airports. Getting the companies we al buy from to give back and send us some prizes (I personally hate that part) I also hate putting my shop second to anything, but this jam is def. worth it in the end.
The best part of doing this event for me is the realization that that are so many people who feel the way I do about BMX. The out-pouring of support from everyone is just overwhelming at times. To see all the shops jump in right away, to have people contact me cause they want to support it, to have boxes and boxes of product sent here from all these amazing places, the list goes on and on...
I am truly psyched to have all my friends in one place at one time, to celebrate how awesome BMX is here in New England and all over really.

Soooo thats why the shop has taken a back seat for a bit. It is def. a struggle to take the time I spend getting people to come to the shop and put that aside to promote and make the Jam happen. Taking months of work for a Jam that lasts about 8 hours.... Bottom line is it is just soooooooo worth it. I hope everyone plans on coming to this amazing celebration of little kids bikes and friends and life as we know it. Save up your ten bucks now, I promise I have been doing everything in my abilities to make the Jam as good as I know how to make it.
Please check out the NEJC site It is updated everyday!!! See you all there!!!!
