It’s crazy that we’re up to number 5! I remember planning the first one back in late 2008, not even knowing if anyone would even show up! Man, was I wrong. That jam is actually what kickstarted my relationship with FP. That year, the turnout was small, but quality. Since then, the jam has grown, in both quality and quantity, with each of the subsequent years’ being some of the best riding days I’ve ever had. Hopefully, this being the 5th year, with a handful of new supporters and a swag full of lifers, I hope to continue that trend. Dictated by tradition, this jam is a charity affair; in years gone by, we’ve donated to both the Children’s Hospital at Westmead, and the Starlight Foundation. This year will be a little different, though. Any and all proceeds will be contributed to the Amigos of Holmes fund. As always, there’ll be drinks, food, music, raffles, prizes and most of all, good times for a good cause. There will be a small fee, being a gold coin donation to ride, but don’t expect a structured, contest format, it’ll be the most laid back of events. Come down for a shred, and if you have a good time in the process, you’ll probably go home with something! I can’t express how much I appreciate all the support, from both riders and our sponsors Fit, Colony, Division, Hell on Wheels, Back Bone BMX, Nightfall Bike Co, Afray, Dishonour Clothing, Triplesix Distro and Stowaway Distro. These guys are the best in Australian BMX.
