Threw another party at The Pond and it did not disappoint! <br /><br />We've got the formula pretty finessed at this point... bring in the Halahan boys to build a new line and button the place up, follow with early-bird arrivals from all-star dudes like Clint Reynolds, Keith Hartwell and the like to butter 'em. Then add a few hundred friends from around the world who are down to slap some shovels, set up a tent, turn off their phones and shred.<br /><br />Add a holiday weekend, some of the best dirt riders in the world and a pretty epic slice of Rocky Mountain riverfront and the ultimate BMX weekend is born. <br /><br />Unfortunately, due to "shitty" diagnosis Chris Moeller received in May... this year's jam almost didn't happen. Luckily, we decided to do it anyway and we're so glad we did. <br /><br />We couldn't have done it without a handful of homies who held it down while we were focusing on Chris' health (thanks Nate, Luke, Shane, Ryan, Josh, Pinky and Kevin). <br /><br />Chris wants to take this opportunity to let everyone know that he's doing well with his treatment, focusing on making a full recovery and most importantly that EVERYONE should heed the advice to get a colonoscopy at age 45 (or sooner if you're experiencing any abnormal symptoms).<br /><br />Film/Edit: Stew Johnson

Bike talent runs deep in the Spriet family. Papa Spriet - aka Todd - aka https://www.instagram.com/bmx_todd/ already raised a certified shredder in son Justin Spriet, but from the looks of it... little sis Lyla is amped to get after it too. <br /><br />Todd was dabbling in 26 Dirt Jumper territory before we got him on back on a BMX in the form of a 22" Fit Complete bike... and Lyla was also shredding a Fit Misfit Complete. The bikes were serving them well but it was time for some American-Made action so here's the dynamic duo getting after it on their new 22" and 18" ATF frames!<br /><br />Seems like a FITting time to mention that we are getting new Fit Complete bikes in stock for the first time in several years, so if you're looking for a solid way to the get the fire smoldering again - check those out. And if you get that baby burning... let's get you some tickets on that US-made train baby!<br /><br />We combined the S&M and Fit webstores and you can check out all of our products here or at your local bike shop: https://thebuildingdistro.com/ <br /><br />Film/Edit: Stew Johnson<br /><br />https://thebuildingdistro.com/product-category/bikes/
