Monthly Recap - May 25'
Rolling Toward Summer — Momentum, Miles & Milestones
Spring’s in full swing, and the energy is undeniable. May delivered from coast to coast—with jam sessions uniting local scenes, product drops turning heads, and Eastern gear landing in more hands (and under more feet) than ever. Here’s what went down this month—and what’s on deck as we roll into summer.
Cherokee Bike Fest — Culture, Competition & Full Send
May kicked off with a bang at the Cherokee Bike Fest, and Eastern was right in the mix. From dirt to concrete, riders showed up and threw down—even when the skies opened up.
-
The crowd kept the energy at a 10 all weekend, rain or shine.
-
Host Reed Stark kept things moving and brought the vibes.
-
Tyler, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians' newest BMX rider, took home the win at the amateur BMX jam—and scored an Eastern Orbit Complete.
-
He’ll be heading to Woodward Camp this summer during Reed’s visiting pro week (July 27–August 2), alongside fellow standout Alex Felton.
-
After the awards, Tyler and Alex hugged it out for a solid 30 seconds, yelling “We’re going to Woodward!” and soaking up the moment.
Got clips or photos from the weekend? Drop us a tag—we want to keep that stoke moving forward.
NoWear Jam — Community First, Always
We were proud to support the NoWear Jam in Nebraska. Eastern donated four custom completes—fully equipped with gyros and pegs—and seeing them roll out to new riders was easily the highlight.
New Shop Shoutout — Fueling the Local Fire
We’re hyped to welcome Ron Ayers Motorsports to the Eastern family. Supporting rider-owned shops and hometown heroes is what we’re about.
