The Mongoose Jam Park Comp went down in Lot 8 at Camp Woodward on Thursday. The second Mongoose Jam event featured 27 riders, including 21 of the world's best pros and all six amateur Woodward campers. Each rider was given 40 seconds and three runs, with the best session counting as their final score. Riders were scored by a panel of three judges that focused on the number and difficulty of tricks, along with the guys' unique ride style. It wasn't always about the trick, but the line the rider took to land it.
