The 2020 Grindworks jam at HCS skatepark was a wild one. If you want to see some of the most core people in BMX, here you go. Grindworks operates solely on the premise of fun and giving back to BMX. Making reliable pegs they barely break even on them, dumping money in to awesome jams literally just for people to have a blast. There was a great turn out this year with so many awesome moves going down. Fresh concrete, a piano, metal ramps, a satellite dish, and even a car. There’s always so many interesting things to ride at this annual wonder.
This year was definitely a little different due to COVID-19. An effort was made to maintain distance, reduce person to person contact, wearing of masks, and no indoor riding this year. Along with putting an emphasis on people not coming if they weren’t feeling well. With 2020 being such a rough year, the northeast BMX community really needed to cut loose a little bit in a bad way. We rough it through winter then get hit with a heavy quarantine. It’s enough to make you loose it just a little, ya know? These photos along with the video put together by Kyle Dolan and hopeful exposure of a great scene are what we can contribute. I hope you enjoy. Thanks. —Tom Beckman

Sam Esposito gettin in a crank flip on top of the destructo car. 
John Corts, smith on one of the most interesting features you’d ever expect to find at a skatepark. 
This freshly poured quarter was pretty tight, making it incredibly hard to ride, but also really fun to figure out. Ben Garlington did just that popping out of it with style. 
Called out for a while for someone to send this from the satellite dish to the tight quarter. Isaac Killingsworth stepped up to the plate and got it done oppo. 
Tony Blair, fufanu on set back block of crate, keeping the brake game alive. 
Mark Diamonds bringin’ the flairs to the jam. 
With this hearty boosted table Isaac Killingsworth takes home the high air challenge. 
If the boosty table wasn’t enough, Isaac roosted this flat euro pretty much just as high as the last. 
Mitch Curley with a footjam whip up on the deck barley missing a couple concrete bumps up there. 
Kyle Dolan putting in that VX work to bring you a sweet edit from the day. 
Gregg Granville ice bonk bar in the early stages of the high pole jam comp. 
Marc Ramos warmin up with an ice bonk 180. 
This is what that warm up was for. This pole jam gets up to 10 foot! Here Marc gets over the top around 5 and a half foot. 
Andrew Vargason owner of Grindworks BMX cooling off in this cool sprinkler. 
Ryan Button with a clicked turn down through the sprinkler. 
Sammy Tedesco starting off a little roller-coaster up rail session with this bar out. 
Robot socks make you do sick cancans out of up rails. Vince Smith is the man! 
John Corts getting tucked out of that rail. Ride like a crawfish. 
Davey Osgood was the only one to make it through the obstacle course at the jam. Made it look so easy and sent this three off the final drop. 
KC Cook throwing the bars on this steep interesting metal bank. Peep that bump at the top. 
Kevin Czuba is always bringing the top level creativity. Here his playing a little nose pick tune when sound was still coming out of it. 
Gregg Granville playing with his back tire. 
Up next Gregg lays an ice on the top of the case. 
Sam Esposito double tire on the keys. 
Ben Garlington disaster on top of the car out and back this tight little quarter. 
The fufanu gods were definitely shining on Tony Blair at the jam. Putting his back tire everywhere. 
KC Iwaniak with the pegs easy of the long ramp rail. 
Davey Osgood pegs bar. 
Vince Smith, full click. 
KC Iwaniak really dipping this t-bog. 
The classic product toss. 
Picking through the pile of stickers. 
Vince Smith looking into an ice pick on the car. 
Destruction. 
More destruction. 
To cap off the Isaac Killingsworth thought he’d put his front tire up on the piano.
