I'm throwing a jam at my local park this summer. If anybody lives in the heartland you should try to come check it out. This is not a contest, although we will have a few "organized" mini events through out the day. Trying to keep the event as polar opposite to an organized contest as I can. No timed runs, no judges, no prize money.... none of that stuff. The Burly Jam is going to be focused a lot more on the community aspect of BMX where everyone just has a good time enjoying some on and off the bike activities for a day.
Random shit that may or may not be going down include:
High air on the 9' quarter
King of the Box Jump
BMX Drag Racing
30 and over jam session, first rider to break a hip wins.
Front Brake Brethren Invitational
We will also be having a BMX swap meet as well as a midschool bike show.
There will also be some sort of organized after party. My town in Iowa is on the border with Illinois. After our bars close at 2:00AM in Iowa, everyone goes across the river to Illinois where there is a bar that stays open until 5:00AM. So, basically, you can come for the riding or come for the party. I can guarantee both will be equally entertaining.
Here is a picture of the park:
