The Colonnade Mountain Bike Park opened in Seattle in September 08. This collaboration between several groups made the impossible possible. This video tells the story.

The first part of this podcast features a great dirt jump/slopestyle contest put on by TAOW productions and Aaron Lutze. The Wham Bam Thank You Jam was held in an indoor motocross shed just west of Portland, OR. The lighting was bad, but the event sizzled with a ton of great tricks being thrown down by both Ams and Pros.

The second part of this episode features a go behind the scenes look with Transition Bikes. We met up with them at their factory in Ferndale, WA. Ferndale is just north of B'Ham. We managed to get out and hit some dirt jumps with them even though there was a dusting of snow on the ground. All in all, a good look behind a small bike company with a large following.

Finally, we bring you another "You Got To Know It!" tip for you and your bike from Zeb Tingey.

Early in the summer of '06 the Seattle area weekly The Stranger published an article about illegal dirt jumps discovered at the edge of one of the city's more affluent neighborhoods. The city of Seattle found these jumps by accident while doing an erosion check. The jumps were in a conservation area. But the area had been overlooked. This green belt was loosing the battle to invasive plants and had become a gathering place for the homeless and drug users. The riders felt that it was a perfect place to build their jumps.

The Bones Over Metal crew caught up with Rama Fire the rider who was responsible for the dirt jumps. We also got a chance to talk to Jack Tomkinson of Urban Sparks.org Urban Sparks is working with Rama and his crew to get the city to see the positive side of the dirt jumps.

For more information on their effort check out the Urban Sparks website.
