Featuring Dew Tour winner Kyle Baldock, along with BMX dirt legends Mike ‘Hucker’ Clark, TJ Ellis, Jed Mildon, Andrew Ahumada and many more, the 2012 Unit Farm Jam went down recently in the deep south of New Zealand.
Presented by Unit Clothing, the Farm Jam is located on the picturesque Frew Farm. The Frew brothers have spent years carving the amazing one-of-a-kind dirt courses out of the rolling green hillsides that surround their family home, and love to invite riders from all around the world to experience it with them.
Imagine endless rolling hills, your own digging machinery, private fishing spots, bikes and a heap of good friends to share it with!
Take a trip with Kyle, Hucker, TJ and the rest of the crew as they let loose on the secluded farm. Not just a regular contest, the Farm Jam is an experience.
Josh Grant is a badass on a dirt bike. From winning an X Games Gold Medal for Supercross, to hitting monster jumps out in the sand dunes and throwing the biggest whips in the game, Josh is the man.
However, over the last few years luck has not gone his way and after suffering multiple injuries and team changes, Josh was falling away from the top of his sport.
In this indepth video we catch up with Josh in 2012. With a new team, young family to look after and a fresh energy to race, he is looking strong and hungry to get back to the top.
Features some brand new footage of Josh training with the JWR team, as well as some of his best moments hitting the dunes, winning X Games Gold and whipping it out for the crowd!

French FMX superstar, and Unit team rider, Tom Pagès recently traveled to Australia for the 1st annual Crusty Demons Cup where he won the ‘Best Whip’ competition. After the event we flew Tom up to the Gold Coast for some fun and relaxation.
Tom is definitely one-of-a-kind, and it is his crazy fun loving attitude that has secured his place as one of the world’s most exciting and innovative freestyle motocross riders. We pulled Tom up for a quick chat about his holiday, the Masters Of Dirt tour, his plans for 2012 and his outlook on FMX progression.

Unit Clothing is a brand that was started in Australia back in 2002 and they have grown the brand from the trunk of a car to multi million dollar sales, big offices and massive warehouses. The brand came from the humble beginnings of Eric and Paul Everest, two brothers that had a vision, a dream and ran with it to much success. The video below will give you a full crash course on the entire history of Unit Clothing and what the brand has planned for the future. Check it out, very inspiring.
Over 20 000 visitors were treated to “Masters of Dirt” creator Georg Fechter’s latest crazy vision this past weekend.
Three days of sold out shows meant that 40% more tickets were sold than last year. With the motto of “if it’s got wheels it can fly”, the crew of more than 100 specialists produced a show of the highest calibre.
A night full of highlights had 20 riders and more in the air at the same time on FMX bikes, BMX’s, Mountainbikes, Quads and Snowmobiles – an unforgettable image which saw the World’s best riders converge on Vienna from 4 continents to entertain the Viennese public.
On Friday evening ten-time Dakar Rallye winner, Stephane Peterhansel, made a special appearance with his race winning Mini to greet the fans.
On Saturday our Spanish Quad pilot Hugo Arriazu had a frightening crash when a backflip went badly wrong. Luckily he emerged from the incident relatively unscathed.
One of the funnier moments saw a car and caravan launched over the FMX ramp. Whilst they both flew surprisingly gracefully, high and far – the landing was less pretty – with the caravan completely disintegrating upon landing.
The 2013 Vienna show has already been confirmed for 22, 23 and 24 February – bringing the mad dogs back to Vienna for more carnage and mayhem. Early-bird tickets have already started selling. For this first week, fans get an additional
Euro 5 discount per ticket bought.
As you may or may not know Unit clothing has welcomed Free Ride Mountain Biker and all around mad man Andreu Lacondeguy to their team. Unit is scooping up the best riders on two wheels all over the world and this new addition could not be a better fit. Check out the session below where Andreu destroys some huge dirt jumps and shows us why he is the current king.
We just got back from the Magic show in Las Vegas where we spent a great deal of time with Unit Clothing, so it only made sense that we brought you the highlights from Cam White’s Hillside Dirt Jam 6. The event is sponsored by Unit and has been the premier BMX dirt jump competition in the world for quite some time now. It can be said that there are no contests anywhere in the world that can touch what the the Australians are doing on their home turf. They are truly leading the sport of BMX and are allowing more progression in the sport thanks to their riders, the contests they put on, events like this one and Giants Of Dirt and companies like Unit Clothing.
Be sure to check out all the action that went down below.
