Film photos from one of the best weeks of my life @woodwardcamp #woodwardcamp #inspired #truepassion #helpotherssucceed

Canada been goin off. Big day tomorrow in Vancouver. We ripping rain or shine. Bring your loonies and toonies - bones will be rolled :)

Locked in @woodwardcamp I rode a LOT in a week, got a few things on camera thanks to the homies. @th3kid6 on the @insta360 and I can’t remember who filmed the mini mega clip but that’s the beauty of @woodwardcamp I walked away meeting so many new people and had so many experiences that I’ll never forget. Been healing a good bruised heel that I got that week. I think everyone walks away with a little battle wound 💪🫶 Can’t believe it took me this long to finally make it out there. Watched so many kids having the time of their lives( including me). There’s so many good people here and good energy giving back to our community that we all love. I really did not expect how moving this whole experience was going to be. I can’t wait to make it happen again. Next year? @tryagainfoundation @bsdforever @chillfoundation @teamthosekids #bsdforever #tryagainfoundation #chillfoundation #teamthosekids #digbmx #bmx

First time back on the bike after 5 months off… feels good mane! Woodward is the perfect place to get the confidence back. 83 BMX campers, rad staff, & a dream team of riders/teachers. We had way too much fun. Excited to show u what we got up to :) 🎥: @denimcox

This past week @woodwardcamp taught me so much about what’s really important in life and on a bike. I can’t thank everyone at camp enough for such an incredible experience. All the campers that were eager to learn and spread some stoke. The workers that make this place a reality. All the new friends we met. And most importantly my @bsdforever boys 💕💕 a video will be coming soon that I plan to poor my heart into. It’s more than just a bike❤️🤝 @enjoytheinbetween @tryagainfoundation @bsdforever @woodwardcamp #bikes #enjoytheinbetween #tryagainfoundation #allwheelswelcome #bmx

We’re building a world full of teachers! @grant_yoobie killed it today and got a kid to try dropping in on his BMX bike. Here’s some words from Grant: “Peak heat at House Park today in Austin, Texas. This little guy was asking us to do cool tricks. We showed him a few things and then asked if he’d ever dropped in the bowl before and he said no. I could tell he wanted to, so I had him drop into the bank across the way that’s the same height. He did that with ease. I told him that it would feel the same to drop into the roll in, but it just looks a little scarier. After some motivational words and standing by his side to help him send it, he did it first try! He didn’t even want to get out of the bowl but we showed him the way and boom! He pedaled straight back at the roller and this was the first time he dropped into AND got out of the bowl. Him and his mom were super stoked. His mom kept saying it’s okay to be scared and helped motivate him to send it too! It was awesome! I almost didn’t even go to the park today because it was so hot, but you never know when something like this might happen and make it all well worth it!” Big shouts to Grant, @jareddunncan , & @matt_nordstrom for bringing the Try Again mentality to the real world and leveling up a future ripper. This brought a smile to my face to say the least. Do you teach people how to rip and learn individual hobbies and sports? Get out there and submit some videos of you doing it and we’ll post them up on this page. Much love yall

Cherokee Bike Fest was something else! Can’t thank everyone enough for coming out and throwing down. Documentary in the works. 1.
