Aptos Post Office Jumps
In 1986, local kids in Aptos, California, started building dirt jumps near the post office. These jumps, known as the Aptos Post Office Jumps, became a hub for the youth, promoting creativity and camaraderie. Over the years, they evolved into a world-famous course, attracting riders globally to display their skills.
When Aptos St. BBQ opened in 2009, its first loyal customers were the cycling community frequenting the jumps. The restaurant and the riders built a strong bond, making it a favorite spot for BBQ after a day on the jumps.
Although the jumps have been dismantled, Aptos St. BBQ continues to serve the cycling community, honoring the legacy of the jumps and their impact on our town.

It’s another great day to be together
When the beer is cold and the pits are hot, people tend to gather. That’s a truth as old as time, and one that’s near and dear to our hearts. Grab a friend, a beer, and a seat, and join us in celebrating the power of fire and time in the most authentic way possible.
