Injury Report

Ok so last blog post was all about the jam.  And the jam and after party were sick.  But thanks to a hospital trip the next day me me, I found out that I broke my hand on a bad crash late in the afternoon. 

This picture makes me look like I got hit by a bus

Check out the break in the 1st metacarpal,
(the bone that connects to the pointer finger)

Should be back on the bike in no time, 2012 contest season kicks off Jan 15th!

Christmas Jam 2011 @ Bens Backyard

On Sunday the 11th of December we threw a Christmas Party... BMX style.  But back up a week and you will find all the roommates working hard, in between kick ass sessions of course, to prepare for this event.  I mean we had to prepare, we were expecting 2-300 people or more!  Yes a lot of work went into this event and I have to say it couldn't have gone off any better.  We had Ari from Protec sponsoring the event, grilling up delicious burgers, we had coolers and coolers full of vitamin water to give out, and probably the best part, we had Agave Underground Tequila in house giving out free sample shots to anyone of age.  All that plus a bunch of shredders and killer ramps to ride?  If you ask me that is a golden recipe for a bmx barbecue jam!

The new up and comers

He might have showed up late, but made up for it with these tasty burgers

In between what seemed like power sessions for AJ, (the dude was killing it all day long) He could be found on the mic, talking shit, cracking jokes, calling people out, haha it was a good time.

Party at DJ Snowdens dj booth!

Myself and some friends, and the legendary TK

After the sun went down and all the kids went home, the fiesta started.  It seemed like there were a few separate parties within the big party,  the dj dance floor party, the room parties, the open garage party, and of course the on top of the garage party!  You could have found me at any one of these, doing laps and talking with everybody, but I do believe I was on the dance floor the most.  The party raged, and when everyone went home, the Roommates kept raging.  I built a big bonfire and we kept it going until early hours of the morning, cracking jokes and reminiscing about how rad the day had been.

Thanks to all the sponsors who helped out, everybody who came and showed support, and all of our media people documenting the event with photos and video.  I want to especially thank all my good friends over at Agave Underground for supplying us with what seemed like way too much tequila...until we finished every last drop. 

Videos should be dropping soon!
