Build it, and they will come! Pim van den Bos and his crew haven't stopped building at The Building and invited everyone for a jam on Saturday. The 5 meter high vert wall had just been finished a few hours before they opened up the place so things were fresh indeed. The XS section was brand new and the set up changes from time to time. It's a bit back and forth but it's got plenty of resi sections where you can huck yourself in the air in hopes of landing the new trick. Lots of people seem to be into that because those resi landings made overtime on Saturday. The camera next to it filmed everything and then showed the action on a screen with a 15 second delay so you can check what went wrong on your attempt.

During the day/night a few fun comps were help. With Joeri on the microphone it was entertainment from the start. The bunny hop comp was won by Bart Mol and Ruud Ham. Both cleared 1,05 meters but failed to make the 1,10 mark. High air was won by Daniel Wedemeijer who edged out Pim van den Bos on his last attempt.

Leroy Kleppe got 3rd.

The Best Trick comp was won by Daniel Wedemeijer. He could have won that comp with 5 of the moves he did in Eindhoven. Let's say the foot jam on top of the big wall (coming from the quarterpipe) is the trick that did it. Daniel's got moves. Pim van den Bos did a double backie on the resi for 2nd and I believe Channon Balorian got 3rd but it could have been Desmond Tessemakers as well. Desmond for sure won the Foot Down comp with his secret attacks from behind.

But jams are there to ride together and have fun. Learn new tricks, keep things happening, it gives us an opportunity to shoot some pics, and it's always good to see the crew again. Flip through the pictures and read the captions to get a better impression of the session. Till next time.
