How would you go about explaining Jamie Bestwick to someone who isn't familiar? "Well, he's the best BMX Vert rider of all time. He's won every event basically every time." That's surface talk. What really makes Jamie Bestwick a true legend are all his dedicated years spent on the bike. The dedication, passion, and hard work of a blue-collar British family. The son of a coal miner who took a risk down a path his father couldn't understand. The willingness to quit his job and venture into the USA. The unwavering determination to fall from 20 plus feet and get up time and time again. The focus and true grit to be the ultimate competitor unlike BMX has ever seen for the last 20 years. An inductee into the BMX Hall Of Fame. The undisputed best vert rider in the world. Oh, and that's just BMX. Jamie pulls quintuple (or more) duty as a competitive endurance athlete, Baja 1000 champion, Moto GP enthusiast, TV announcer, Action Sports Consultant for the world-renowned Woodward Camp, and Support Coach for British Cycling BMX Team. Oh, and he owns his own coffee shop called Rothrock Coffee. And yes, the coffee is great. Of course.

Could heaven be a place on earth? If you’re a freerider, then the answer is yes!
Until you've been mobbing through the city streets with hundreds of other riders, hopping curbs and avoiding traffic, it's difficult to get across the true vibe of a BMX street jam. After two years and support for more than ten local street jams across the globe in the bag, the Cash Up series has become a welcome pillar in the BMX events calendar, and there's even more jams being added to the list in 2025.
The wait is over! One of the world’s most progressive freeride MTB events, DarkFest, is back for 2025, bringing back massive jumps and an all-star lineup of riders ready for big air mayhem. Hosted by event creator Sam Reynolds, the legendary Vuurberg venue near Stellenbosch, South Africa, will once again be home to the planet’s gnarliest freeride sessions from April 7-12, 2025.
