The Mongoose Jam Street Comp took place at Camp Woodward Target Plaza on Friday. The Street Comp was the third and final competition in the Mongoose Jam, and the results decided who would take home the glory and the largest portion of the $50,000 prize. Campers cheered on the teams as everyone gathered in Target Plaza. The riders went in three heats and competed in three different zones, showing off a variety of skills. Highlights included Chad Kerley's 540 off the ledge and Jeremiah Smith's 180 whip down the stairs. 
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.
