Event Information

Willoughby, Ohio resident and owner of Solon Bicycle in Solon, Ohio, Dan Sirkin, will host a BMX freestyle reunion festival this summer. In the mid 1980s to early 1990s, Randy Loop of Columbus, Ohio assembled BMX freestyle competitions that were held all across the country. The bulk of his efforts were concentrated in the Columbus region, however. His competitions consistently showed some of the strongest turnouts of any event series going at the time. Over the years, many of these riders ended up becoming sponsored by major bike companies. Some of these riders stuck with it throughout the 1990s when the sport died while others quit riding. Sirkin, is a former nationally ranked flatland freestyle ride who was sponsored by Haro Bicycles. Recently, he reconnected with many of the riders from the past and decided to host this reunion, called the East Central Reunion Jam. While many of these riders from the past are now located all across the country, they are quickly booking flights to come out to the event and dust off their bikes in hopes of getting back into the game. Expected turnout is about 100 riders.
