Trail Jam '09 Report.

Well i have no pictures because was to busy riding and drinking double brown so words will have to do for now.

The weather looked dodgy right up untill the day but wake up Saturday morning and it's a stunning day for a bangin' jam and most riders have arrived Friday night. Quite a few showed up on the Saturday as well, it was a bigger turnout than I expected, riders and non-riders filling every extra space between the trees up.

I whole bunch of shit went down on the day from tom's style as fuck 360's to Kane O'hagen who crossed the straight doing 3 whips and 720's etc clean as to the massive trains everyone would join in on! As the day went on people got drunker and tired and a few slams happened but no trips to the hospital, which I was personally stoked about as I had to go there last years jam, and one before that Puha did. We had a high jump contest which Eamon from Nelson took out, except we couldn't raise the bar any higher as we had no more points to sit it on haha. The day ended with it starting to rain but that was cool because the weather held out all day for us all to shred. It was so sick seeing literally all the chch dudes come up for it, even Kwol, maddog and joey hit them up, just to name a few! And it wasn't over there, the night had already begun as everyone rocked round and completly filled every spare space in my lounge and got pretty gnarley. About 9pm we all rocked into the bar where my get together for my 22nd was being held and shit got real. I can't remember a whole lot from the night but I know it was fucking sick and a good time was had by all...well almost...

Robbie, Scott and Ungy as I found out the next morning had got slightly roughed up by some fucken Blenheim scum. Robbie got his hoodie pulled over his face and smacked up by 4 dudes, Scott got a couple blows to the head and Ungy got blind sided to the face by the sounds of things, not to nice an end for those few unfortunatly. It must be mentioned though that 'T' and Keenan, a couple maori groms got in on the action when they saw the fellow riders getting roughed up and jumped in and did their best to help out against these maggots that seem to want to fight for no reason, note they are only 15 and held their own against 20+ yo's twice their size.

Anyway that's what happened in a nut shell, so much more went down that I would have missed out but yea, most people were there from the South island to see it anyway, maybe Stefan will add up his version of the day at some stage to. Hopefully some pictures show up on the net from it as there was a shitload of cameras floating around. If you have any, could you please email me them at jjoshj@gmail.com Shot! And thanks to everyone that came and made the day what it was!
