Just look for the guy wearing the Little Devil shirt and you have met FatGuy.

I may finally break down and wear one of my vintage Vision Jinx shirts.

Bump for only 3 months to go

I really wish there was an update bump.

Changing the color of the white to black and new bars for my Big Daddy.



Not sure I will finish anything new before the show or not.  At the rate the seat is shipping from the UK, I may not have the Big Daddy finished. 

I do know that the Hutch will not be coming with me to any more shows.  I lost it in the break up.

It's for the best.  Tonya may find someone to take her or she might post her Hutch for sale.  Then again, it may end up broken or rusting if she gives it to her son.

I'll post some pictures but I'm gonna spray bomb my son's 96 looptail Mongoose menace. Orange.
And then we are gonna use some wacky parts of a Sears Free Spirit BMX bike. The bars and single stem neck.


Also gonna spray bomb my Haro 86 Group 1. And if I can find a sissy bar I'll be able to put my banana seat on it.

Below are the judged categories you may enter your bike(s) into at the 2nd Annual Coaster's Ham Jam. If your bicycle could fit into more than one of the categories, please choose the category you feel your bicycle would compete best in.

Best Pre War Bicycle-
Your bicycle was manufactured before World War II. Major frame and part differences are characteristic of a Pre-war bicycle compared to a Post war Bicycle.

Best Post War Bicycle-
Your bicycle was manufactured after World War II. Please leave bicycles dating from 1970-Present out of this category.

Best Rat Rod Bicycle-
Your bike is built to be a Rat Rod.  Most Rat Rods appear "unfinished" (whether they actually are or not), with just the bare essentials to be ridden. Sometimes the customization will include using spare parts, or parts from another bicycle altogether. Flat paint, patina/rust, and 30's era automobile hot rod design elements are common on rat rod bicycles.

Best Kustom Bicycle-
Your custom bicycle has a frame that is built specifically for the rider. It is a one off a kind with kustom geometry made just for the one person. It is not a "production" bicycle.

Best 60’s-70’s Muscle Bike-
Your Muscle bicycle was produced from the mid 1960s through the end of the 1970s. Banana seats, sissy bars, and ape hangers are very common characteristics of Muscle bikes.

Best Track/Fixed Gear Bicycle-
Your fixed-gear bicycle (or fixed-wheel bicycle, sometimes known as a fixie) is a single speed bicycle that has no freewheel, meaning it cannot coast, as the pedals are always in motion when the bicycle is moving.

Best Mountain Bicycle-
Your mountain bike or mountain bicycle is a bicycle created for off-road cycling.

Best Road Bike-
Your bicycle was built for traveling at speed on paved roads.

Best Vintage Bicycle Survivor-
Your bicycle sits as it was sold new in the bike shop with all original components. Routine, maintenance and upkeep of the bike does NOT diminish its status as a survivor. However, no part, whether painted, chromed, or anodized should be refinished in any way. Replacement of grips or tires is allowed, although discouraged, and should be the same type/brand as the originals. The best examples of survivors are time capsules of vintage bicycle goodness.

Best Early BMX Bicycle-
Your BMX bicycle is considered a BMX pioneer and was manufactured between the mid 1970 and 1982.

Best 1983-1989 BMX Bicycle (RACE) -
Your BMX Bicycle was manufactured between 1982 and 1989 and built for the purpose of racing.

Best 80s Freestyle Bicycle-
You BMX bicycle was manufactured in the 1980s for the purpose of freestyle and flatland tricks

Best Mid-School Bicycle-
Your BMX Bicycle was manufactured between 1990 and 1998 for any type of BMX riding: race, freestyle, flatland, etc.

Best New-School-
Your BMX bicycle was manufactured between 1999- 2012 for any type of BMX riding.

The Other Bike Award-
Your bicycle does not fit in any of the categories above, but you would still like to compete. No Trophies or prizes will be given for the best other bike but you and your bicycle will be recognized.

Show address has changed!

Address: Parking lot near Evolution Bike Co.'s new location at 305 Cherokee street , Marietta, GA 30060 (right off of Marietta Square)

This gives me a good due date for my latest build.  I've bought some basic new school completes, but this will be my first really new new school build, everything else has always been something at least like 5 years old I scored cheap and built   I'll post pics when it arrives.

All bike types and all years is an important foundation of this show... glad to know there will be at least one new school BMX there

I'll be bringing a no school.

Tyler, thank you for the picture showing the layout of the show.  That is super helpful for us out of towners.

Good to hear! Hopefully this will help the set-up process go very smooth!
