After 3 years of not happening, the legendary Tempered Drain jam made a comeback thanks to the hard work of Jerry Vandervalk. Jerry put some really hard work gathering wood and building all the ramps and other cool set-up that was featured at the jam. With no money and only dedication and love for BMX, everything turned out awesome. Everybody went ham on the obstacles and some amazing riding went down. This is was definitely the perfect example of supporting the scene and having a hell of goodtime just by having fun on a bike. Keep an eye out for some edits that will come out soon for you to see the footage but in the meantime check out the sweet photo gallery cooked by Tritto.
Hope to see everybody next year.
