Yeh the Girls - The Aussie girls go Big at the village for YEH THE GIRLS all girls bmx jam!

The Yeh the Girls crew took over The Village and absolutely sent it. Heaps of smiles, proper riding and a crew backing each other all day. Evie and Ali both went to the moon in the high jump, but the best bit was seeing so many girls riding together and pushing the level. A jam like this is different from a normal session because everybody arrives knowing the day is theirs to use. Newer riders can watch, ask questions and have a go without feeling like they are getting in the way. More experienced riders get a crowd behind them and usually end up going higher or trying something they might have left alone on an ordinary afternoon. That energy matters. BMX progression is rarely a solo thing, even when only one person is on the bike. A crew cheering, filming, laughing and giving the occasional terrible bit of advice is part of how riders get comfortable enough to try the next thing.

We went along to support and came home very keen for the next one. Women's BMX does not need to be treated like a smaller side event, and the riding at The Village made that pretty obvious. Evie and Ali going huge in the high jump gave everyone a proper moment to get loud about, but a good jam is bigger than whoever finishes highest. It is the first drop-in, the rider trying something again after it went wrong and the group making space for each other all day. That is how a scene gets stronger. More riders feel welcome, more friendships start and the next session becomes easier to turn up to. Blue Groove is always going to back days that get people riding and give the local crew something to build on. No giant speech needed. The riding was good, the vibe was good and everyone looked like they wanted another run. Watch the madness below and keep an eye out for the next Yeh the Girls day. Days like this also make the next normal session easier. Riders leave knowing more people, recognising a few more faces and feeling like they have a crew to roll with. That does not sound as exciting as a high-jump clip, but it is how people stay involved. One event creates another ride, then another, and suddenly the scene is not relying on the same handful of people to keep everything moving.
