9th Street BMX: Halloween Jam 2018

November 07, 2018

Good turn out for the 18th Annual 9th Street BMX Halloween Jam. The trails were soft and slow due to all the recent rain. People pulled together as always to get the jumps running and have a fun day. We had over 100 hot dogs and TRAIL RELISH! We raised over $500 which directly go the trails for tools, community outreach, etc.

Thanks to Tom and Tina of EmpireBMX.com for the help, support, prizes and gift bags!

Karu has improved so much in 1 year. He is fast and focused. Great guy, we need more locals like him and his family.

MC Mike has the most challenging job at the jam, crowd control. Much Thanks!

FOOTDOWN: One rule - if you put your foot down, you are out. A rolling mosh pit.

FOOTDOWN is a painful game.

This year's winner, ZBoas Craig's son. He was the only kid left at dark. Nervous to play footdown. We all encouraged him. He played timidly, took a bump, then rammed someone who graciously took a dive for a good cause, really thoughtful. Prize bag awarded to our youngest ever footdown winner, he was so stoked.

Best Costume: Jake wins every year for his amazing bike costumes. Zac Powell and his dog Dixie came in for the tie. I handed them the prize bag and told them to wrassle for it. I walked away unaware of the outcome.
