Benny L leads the march from the China banks for the official city take over.

One ring to bind them, one ring for going nuts in front of 300 riders

This guy thought he was about to make a killing, I guess riders don't want Ice creams though.

Before its even been done its online in 2016

Narrow ledge grind to 1994 drop to flat.

"Its never been pegged"? someone said. "No shit, look at it"? someone else said.

The famous bin club in Liverpool, its where the Bindles played.

When you bail, but you can't stop running and you know the end is coming.

Devon loving every minute of cruising with hundreds of riders in one of the best cities in the world.

Devon Smillie was on hand to lend his expert long lens skills.

A true professional, Benny keeps the media happy

Real men push.

Casualties were minimal but the blood still stained the slabs

Hill bomb

I got a last minute call to jump on a train and shoot some snaps at BMX day in Liverpool. I’ve been to a lot of street jams in the U.K in my days, dating back to the time of Attila, NSF and DFTU and I know that however old I get these things will always produce some wild shit no matter where or who's involved. Liverpool was going to be no exception, when you have 300 kids riding steps, banks and rails then it’s going to be a mix of craziness and hilarious.

Ben Lewis played host and navigated every kid though the city, weaving in and out of traffic, confusing tourists and pub men having an afternoon pint and a ploughman’s lunch. The weather must have been paid for by Monster I swear because it usually always rains in Liverpool so I don't know what the deal was there. Watch any of the clips or videos on DIG's social media channels to see what went down...
