BURLY JAM JUNE 13TH
« on: April 27, 2015, 10:53:37 AM »
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:

Ive got front brakes, bad ideas for that rail, and it looks like you are inviting me. Sadly I don't live anywhere near Iowa.

I feel like the MidWest is blowing up with jams all over hell!  NoWear BMX puts on a contest series at a bunch of backyard ramp spots.  Did one in Iowa already, the next one is in Nebraska.  I think one more spot in Nebraska and then one in the Kansas City area at one of the best backyard ramps I've ever rode.  The dudes in MKE have already thrown a few cool jams at their spot.  Let's Roast Cycles in Chicago always has some cool summer time stuff.... 

It's happening all around us.

Also, if anybody gives a shit, I have been putting up a few clips each day of Burly Jams on my instagram and vimeo page.  The clips will span from 2005-2007 from the various jams I have clips of.  Some are funny, some have some pretty wild clips. 

My instagram is: skateparkrider

I made some "flyers" for the event, even though that is probably the most antiquated method for promoting an event in this current day and age.  People asked if I had one, so here it is...haha.

Not sure the exact distance.  There is a narrow road that runs near the skatepark that could probably fit 3, possibly 4 wide drag races.  I bet the distance is close to 75-100 yards if I had to guess.  Long enough to top out on normal gearing but short enough that you can probably sprint the entire time.
