Alabama Slamma - The Story of Barry Nobles 1

Alabama Slamma tells the story of Barry Nobles, a highly decorated BMX racer from the small town of Wetumpka, Alabama. Barry discovered his passion for two wheels at just 3 years old after his dad bought him a 12-inch bike to ride with his friends. Not long after, Barry was digging jumps in his family’s backyard after school and racing on the weekends.

This film - directed, filmed, and edited by Ben Linderman - follows the journey of Barry Nobles from his early days as a BMX racer to his eventual rise to the top of the sport to his quest for another championship during the 2022 season. Alabama Slamma (taken from Barry’s racing nickname), showcases his incredible skills on the track, as well as his determination, hard work, and dedication to his craft. Through interviews with Barry and archival footage, the film provides a unique and intimate look at the world of BMX racing and the life of one of its champions.
