We want to wish the trail building, shark-muscled legend and great friend Chris Harti a very Happy 30th Birthday today! It's been awesome to watch Chris go from a young kid with the nickname 'Gunners Chris' (for his domination of his local park); to a young adult who worked in the shop and was never afraid to tell a customer just how good a BMX was; to a man who has travelled the world in pursuit of good times on his BMX, with his own signature Hartbreaker frame from Fitbikeco - and even a signature bike, the Fit TRL Harti! ...

If you're talking long running jams across Australia, there are few places that have been running jams as regularly, and for as long, as the Valley View trails in Young, NSW. Will and Chris Kerr have been looking after the trail scene in the cherry-picking capital of Australia for over ten years, with yearly jams running for just as long.

A bunch of the Back Bone crew ventured west and found (a lot of us for the first time) 5 seriously good parks that were almost too good to be true! So where are they and what do they contain?

Some of the crowd, stoked to have a crew arrive despite the time change. Photo: Tyson Jones-Peni Six years have passed since Dane Searls' passed away, it never gets any easier to think of the reason why this jam is held. But all you can do each year is have Dane in mind while you get the trails running as good as you can, and then enjoy laps with some friends on the day, in celebration of the life of a trail riding, BMX badass. I have to make special mention to Dane's mum, Jenni. Each and every year since...
