After the Skate57 session at Hackettstown last night, we crashed hard to sleep…woke up and headed out towards Parsippany, NJ. to attend the Mirra Co. Jam @ Cycle Craft Bike Shop. They had a 5ft mini set up in the back and kids were shreddin it all morning non stop. I heard some people showed up at 6 a.m.! Those people won the farmers tan contest no doubt!

Later on in the morning, Dave Mirra rolls in! Everyone excited to meet him! I def. was beyond psyched. Mike Russell walked me over to introduce me to Dave..and ya know something…no matter how grown up you get, you never forget your idols..I was not ashamed to be a little bashful! Dave is the first person I ever seen boss a BMX bike on a old school video and the riding stuck in my head along with the name…It was def. a pleasure to hang out today with my top inspiration!

Towards the afternoon they started a little contest on the ramp, I just wanted to ride with my friends so I popped in that, kids were shreddin it and it made for a really good time!

Mike Fede won 500$ and a Blend 3 Mirra Co. frame…he was def. psyched because I talked him out of going to a contest today that we were expected to be at. I get a text message every 5 seconds saying thanks Al D. for making me go there today! haha…I love Fede Cent… Good job bro, you shredded it!

After the riding and prize handouts, Mirra signed some autographs and said thanks & goodbye to everyone for coming out!

I like to say thanks to Mike Russell, Dave Mirra, & Mirra Co. management for making it a great day! Check out the pictures & stay tuned for more action here on BMX Invasion.com!!!

Congrats once again to Mike Fede!!

Thanks again to Dave Mirra & Mirra Co.
