"The Welcome Jam has become a tradition here in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Each year Mike and Mark Potoczny throw a jam at The Wheel Mill bike park. Over the past 5 years the event has grown, bringing together riders from every level of BMX, from all over. Riders take part in challenges like Longest Fakie, Best Tabletop, and Lap Challenge. Welcome Weekend was huge this year with the addition of Brian Kachinsky and Van Homan’s Uncovered contest series making stop 2 of 3 the day after Welcome Jam. Uncovered aims to shine a light on relatively unknown talent in BMX." - MM
