Local rider Zack Held [url=//fatbmx.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=1611]organized a dirt jam[/url] in Union City , CA this weekend. At the start of the jam not many people had arrived. Everyone was unfashionably late. Zack and some other riders had spent 2 weeks preparing the jumps for the jam and they looked awesome. The first one I saw looked like a FMX double at the bottom of a downhill. The trials themselves are hidden in amongst tree's in the back of a park between a residential area and the freeway. A small creek runs alongside them and bets were going on who would be the first person to end up in it.

Representing all the old guys was Ramp Rats park owner
Mike Krnaich who got the best of the main pack after getting his clothes pretty dirty. The best trick comp was held at the back end of the trials where Etnies/Redline rider
Kevin Kiraly went banana's with every video game move out there.
David Kapinos, a local from Petaluma, was the only one to try a front flip over the large doubles and pretty much had it. For his efforts he was awarded a brand new frame from the folks over at Pyskopath Bikes.

S&M bikes rider
Ben Brassfield and local
Ronnie Michelini tried their best to hit the tree's with super high boosts. Nobody was seriously hurt and judging from everyones screaming they had a good time. Another jam is in the works for August at the same venue.
A special thanks to all the companies that sponsored prizes for the jam. All these companies were very generous and many riders walked away with one of their products :
Terrible One , empirebmx.com , Knight Industries , Standard ( who very kindly air freighted the prizes on short notice ) , Solid Bikes and rideSFO. Additional thanks to the folks at Red Bull who were handing out drinks during the jam.
