The first ever Oakley National Trails tour kicked off August 25th. Taking 15 of the UK’s best BMXers to the best UK trails spots over five days, and ending in a fantastic jam session at the famous Aliano Trails in Worcester, home to Stephen Murray and the Murray Jam.

The tour was covered daily on UK’s biggest BMX website Ride UK, engaging the readers with a best whip contest, which received over 40,000 views. Oakley’s Leo Forte won himself a pair of limited edition C100 Jupiter for his best whip (49% of the vote).
