Blazin trails....

Trails are the white buffalo of bmx, rarely seen, majestic when photographed. Trails have been pushed to the back of the line in the current trends of bmx. But not in Knoxville, trails are alive and kicking, and over the weekend Tim Lewis, Dave Williams, and Eugene put together a jam session that was a blast to attend. Cool temps, pony keg, and perfectly packed landings make for an ideal sunday in this old trail riders book. Thanks to the Knoxville trail crew for having us down, here are some pics and stories.  be sure to check out Dixiebmx.tumblr.com for the other shots. Most of these out of focus shots were taken by yours truly. Nathan Diclaudio helped me out on some, ill distinguish between them.

All I know about this dude is his name is Tony from Atlanta. He went very high and fast all day.

Chase C.!!!!


The man with the shovel, Tim Lewis.



Troy Knight had never ridden real trails before today, kid had em dialed in by the end of the day.


Eugene has logged in many hours here with a shovel as well.



John Harter did a can can lander in this bowl berm, it was good.


Tim Lewis,  I would say this is blurry on purpose for some artsy bullshit, but I just fucked it up.
