Jam out with your shellfish out.
Veesh and company are throwing a jam 11/9 (that’s NEXT WEEKEND) to benefit Mike Aitken and his family. There are a few fliers floating around Myspace thanks to Codey, who unfortunately had a shitty Halloween and is now sporting a detachable jaw. We’ve been sessioning the ramps we built for the contest the last couple nights and I think everyone has been pretty psyched on ‘em. There’s gonna be some good stuff going down on the 9th.
Along with the jam there will be a raffle with some merch from Animal, Fit, S&M, Volume/Demolition, Odyssey and a few others who I forget at the moment. Tickets will be $5 each and proceeds will be going to Mikey’s family to help out with his medical bills and anything else to make his life easier!
As far as the actual jam goes, it will be jam format, judged by local riders/industry people/people who matter in your life/etc. and there will be merch for the winner of each catagory. There will also be a bunnyhop contest (of course!) and the ever popular footdown. Entrance to the jam costs $5 and, again, proceeds go the Aitken family.
Here’s a few photos I snapped from the last few nights:

The Jam starts at 3pm, with registration starting an hour before (that means be there at 2pm if you wanna ride). You must park on Commonwealth Ave., as the shop’s parking lot will be full of delicious rampage. Bring food, beer, whatever. Myself and someone else (any takers???) will be working registration and working on getting drunk before the sun goes down so come by and say hello. Say something nice and you might get a beer. Probably not. But I’m open to trades (other types of beer, naked pictures of vice presidential candidates, ironic t shirts in size small or any sort of delightful vegetarian snack would be your best bet).
Until next time
