Spring Keeps Rolling — April Highlights with Eastern Bikes!
April has been non-stop action and good vibes across the BMX scene, and Eastern Bikes has been right in the mix. From high-flying jams to rider-owned shop throwdowns, this month brought the heat coast to coast. Here's what went down—and what’s coming next.

Airline Bike Park Jam Lights Up 4/20
The Bar Trails Jam at Airline Bike Park went off on 4/20 with killer weather, great people, and unreal riding. Riders and spectators came from all over to soak up the scene. Baltimore Boys Chris Rayman, Eddie Moore & friends came back down to North Carolina and didn’t disappoint—throwing down front flips, double whips, and plenty of style.

Featured Rider: Kenneth Tencio — Making History & Sharing the Stoke
Kenneth Tencio has been on fire this month—literally making BMX history. He just landed the world’s first 360 flip drop at The Red Bull Featured event, in the UK. Click to Watch
This contest is considered the world’s most progressive BMX event—no rules, no limits. With ramps bigger than anything seen in competition and 16 of the world’s most fearless riders, it was the perfect stage for something groundbreaking… and Kenneth delivered.
But he didn’t stop there.
Kenneth brought that same insane energy to North Carolina, linking up with the Eastern crew for epic sessions, front flip trains, and jaw-dropping wallrides. Beyond the tricks, he brought a ton of positivity—engaging with local riders, elevating the stoke, and just being an all-around rad person to have in the scene.
Big moves. Bigger impact. That’s what it’s all about.
NoWear Jam Delivers Big in Nebraska
We were stoked to support the NoWear Jam at the legendary rider-owned indoor park in Nebraska. So far Eastern Bikes has donated four fully-loaded complete bikes, gyro and pegs included, to help hook up some lucky winners. Our own Russell Summerville made the trip, throwing down big tricks and spreading the stoke. Click to Watch
Unity Ride Shop’s Wild West Jam
April 19th saw the Wild West Jam go down at Unity Ride Shop in Arizona—another rider-owned, grassroots event we were proud to support. We sent out some gear for prize support and loved seeing the local scene show out. Big ups to the Unity crew for keeping it real. Click to Watch
