Just got word that the originator of Jump For Joy, the mellow maniac, the happy hippy, Steve Wisbeski is layed up. Steve is currently in Somerset County Hospital with a bout of diverticulitis. Like all BMXers Steveonaut tried to just push it off as gas pains but after a couple days of pain, he went […]
The main man who learned backflips at 32 after a 16 year hiatus from BMX. The guy who brought you the Barn Ramp back behind the illustrious Christine Todd Whitman’s house. The visionary who invented the Jump For Joy comp-jams, is at it again. BMXNJ was up near the other side of the Driscoll Bridge […]
One of the reasons I started all this stuff back 5 years ago was so that BMX in New Jersey could have one place to congregate free of any stigma of what part of the sport you were involved in, or how much you rode, or how old you were, etc. Which is why we […]

Normally you only see Aaron in the pages of BMX szine or the webfiles of BMXNJ.com holding onto a microphone calling out the latest tricks, calming riders down after judging disputes and generally working the crowd […]
The scene in the Somerset County area has really taken off over these last few years with a huge group of locals who are tearing it up out there and are “making it happen”, in an area that I once called home. With Ken Cornell’s Wheelpark in Somerville at the center of the mayhem one family of […]
(Thanks to Dave and his crew! BMXNJ gets to answer the question, What do retired racers do in their spare time? B.) By BMXNJ.com Contributing Writer Dave Dechert
