2017 Jedi jam

Been a while since the last Jedi jam, so its good to have this event back again. Always a good time in Taupo. Props to Jed Mildon and Tane Lawless for organising and running this event again. Personal highlight for me was the 20+ rider train on the dirt jumps in spa park.

Managed to shoot a bunch of photos, enjoy.

Been getting some work done at the trails these last few weeks, so many people been getting in and giving a hand big thanks to everyone who helped, to many to name we actually needed more shovels, that never happens! Can't complain though.

Also got in some good riding on the weekend trails are running so good, good weekend in the woods.

 Few changes on the way...

 Billy kills it...

Jed, roasting.

Tie ya dog's up

Traveled to Wellington last weekend for the forth round of the NZ dirt serie's, check out the placing's here nzdirtseries.com .
Hugh Wotherspoon's been working real hard lately, and he did a good job on the jump's and the whole day really, the jump's looked really nice and the weather just held out. On a side note watched Anthem 2, quite possibly the best bmx dvd ever made and arguably the best sound track ever!

Billy, no-hander

Jed, t-down


Had a ride at Pukerua Bay Skate park on Sunday, then got taken to a sweet trail's spot, the "Burrow" these trails are well established and there's a couple of solid line's, cheer's Phil and Kieran for hooking us up much appreciated.

Langlands winding the window's down,

His second attempt was better,

Hugh, one-handed seat grab turnbar

Don't know what this is, but you may have invented a new trick Hugh.

Phil nice table,
it's always good to check out a different set of trail's, full prop's to the digger's good to see the trail scene is still strong in NZ.

Taupo........never fail

Huge weekend in Taupo last weekend with the Main Street Jam on Friday and the Bike fest Mega ramp best trick comp on Saturday. Pilgrim bike's owner John Buultjens flew himself and some of the Pilgrim team over to ride, and those boys know how to throw down. Highlights of the weekend, front flip no hander over the box to flairwhip on the quarter by Matt Wyatt and Jed Mildon with a double flip for the best trick on the mega ramp.

The Pilgrim team stopped in at Summerhill on the way to Auckland, had a sweet jam no pic's though as couldn't pass up a jam with those boys, there was actually a line to go up the roll-in, jumps are looking sweet for the 3rd round of the dirt series. 2nd round this weekend, Royals in Cambridge...

Round One
