Its 11pm... its been about 3 months since this jam happened. I'm tired and my memory is foggy at best. Years of head trauma will do that to a person, so will an 8 pack of beer. Regardless, here is my thoughts and pics from one of the best driveway jams I've ever attended. The day started off with a game of "bmx" with random drawings decided who goes head to head. Rules were simple, with Flynt throwing in a "two letter infraction" if someone bails out of trying anything. Luckily no one back flipped, bailing out with this crowd would've resulted in mockery. The setup changed after each round and the vibes were good all day. Lots of fun, i don't wanna bore you with details. Jake Hunter and I filmed and he made an edit ill share on here as well. . In the end it was Austin Phillips taking the win. Next up came the "hop" contest. Normally i find these contests horribly boring, but Flynt made this one great. Instead of your own horse, the bike chosen was this 30lb 12 inch xgames......thing? Very tricky to ride, it was missing pedals and the whole thing buckled after each landing. Somehow a few dudes got it figured out and the height bar kept going up, in my amazement. With the extra height came the extra punishment, and she gave up the ghost before the contest had a proper ending. Regardless, thanks to Flynt for having everyone over. Thanks to the Erwin locals for building ramps , and thanks to the Angry Penguin for the prizes. .

this was hard to time right, one footed toboggan taken a split too late. |
|
Anthony Williams rode smooth all day. |
|
Austin Phillips doing the moves, anti moves. |
|
Little Jon pulled this gap to wallride with no bitch runs or roll ups....man status. |
|
Austin went bar spin to fastplant off the roof. Bar-spin, not "bars" cause that's fucking retarded. |
|
Dave's face says it all here as Austin pulled said trick. Austin is currently lawn darting to gravel in the background. don't worry folks, the gravel was unharmed. |
|
Derrick Hudson was on hand with signs of encouragement. |
|
Dave Williams fell down some stairs and had to sit this one out. |
|
Little "don't give two fucks" Jon |
|
Jacob Hunter. always on hand looking sharp. |
|
Unknown Knoxville local. Tooth hanger over the gap. |
|
after reviewing the photos, i do believe this was the highest hop before the frame shit the bed. Honorable mention goes to Austin. |
|
Jon Harter came up from Knoxville and taught his bike how to downside smith to drop in on this sketchy set-up. |

The man who made it all happen. |
