Rampworx Jam - The Aftermath....
Mar 2, 2009
Right....Where to start...The Jam went off really well, There were about 450 people there i'm told. The riding was sick, although a lot of the young kids didn't seem interested in watching at all, and the DJs for the afterparty warmed up by getting on the decks an playing some sick tunes. John Taylor was judging, and decided that Scotty D won the small room event, Danny Ingram won the Driveway event, Chris Mahoney won the Step-up event, and Mark Love won the Sub-box event. The high hop as won by Chicken, and Bombhead took best trick over the high hop. Millsy took "King of the Rail" for a perfect railride, top to bottom, aswell as doing a can-can pegs. A lot of other people won Prizes, including Phil de-Mattia for a huge 180 over the hop meter, and Dale Armstrong for a massive gap to smith. There was 2nd and third place prizes for each section, so in total 14 people went home with a bag of prizes. I'd like to thank all the sponsors, Carhartt, Lotek, Federal, Proper, Odyssey, Odessa and a huge thanks to Seventies.
One More Brew Premiered, although a lot of people didn't get to see it due to a mix-up with Rampworx staff, who stopped a lot of people coming back in watch the video. I had to leave to sort out the afterparty, but I'm told it's an absolute banger, so make sure you get hold of a copy. They should be available through Seventies very soon.
Then it came to the DUB Afterparty/Video Premiere. The night got off to a good start, all the DJs were absolutely sick, and everyone was hammering the cheap Vodka Rockstars, So thanks to Rockstar for sorting that out. The bouncers at the nightclub were absolute wankers, and one of them went sick at Bruzer, he hit him about 6 or 7 times with no reaction from Bruzer, Which just shows Bruzer is a tank, and the bouncer is a faggot. Bruzer then left, and came back sometime later with a load of other riders, and a riot broke out outside. I ran up the stairs to see about 30 BMXers charge across the road, and start laying into the bouncers. Then the police turned up, Riot Vans, Police Cars, It was fucking madness. I dont know who won, But it was good to see all the BMXers backing eachother up and going sick. The Bouncers managed to lock everyone else into the club, otherwise there would have been a massacre.
There will be a proper write up by Nathan Beddows in the next Ride Mag, and there will be photo's up on our Myspace as soon as I get them. Charlie Jobling is crackong on with the edit, so that will be up soon too. Cheers to everyone who came, The next DUBJAM will be street, sometime in May, so keep checking back for details.
