And here're a few words from the most hated man in BMX, who organised the whole thing:
How much thought/organisation went into the jam/party?
this year most of the effort got put into making the videos for the party and everything was going wrong at the last minute. Thanks to Tom I managed to get the footage off my computer after the FireWire port died. I hardly slept in the last few days, it was a high stress affair.
What did you change/keep the same from other BSD jams (and why)?
W we had 65 riders in B group so we thought we'd split it into smaller groups, in the first group Colin Weir KO'd himself and at that point I thought the jam was doomed, so we basically made it a free for all. I think because of the sheer amount of riders we had to have a bit of organisation (ie Group B riding seperately from Group A) but that was it. The whole jam format thing went down well although we had loads of prizes this time, there was £1000 cash, 3 bike frames, loads of parts and DVDs plus clothing, thanks to all our sponsors, namely Unit 23, OBM, BSd, Proper bikes, Dig, Seventies, Ride, A>RISK and Pretty Heavy.
What were the high points of the Jam/party?
all of the riding and Yeti hosting the BMX in Scotland awards.
What was the best trick?
I really don't know, here are a list of my favourites:
- Rooftop's wallride out of the hip
- Andrew Sowerby's downside footplant across the whole wallride
- Owain Cleggs fakie wallrides
- Robin Fenlons whip off the volcano into the spine ramp
- Lorimer's whips
Did you agree with all the winners of the categories?
If you are talking about the awards then yes, I had a big hand in choosing them.
Does Gogo really have a bad attitude?
What do you think?
Why did you have a fist fight with one of your best friends?
I can't remember. I'm told I fell flat on my face, then he tried to pick me up and I guess I thought I was being attacked.
What will you change/keep the same for next year?
For the jam, I'd probably get the music sorted out a bit better and the volume on the mic so people could actually hear what was being said. I wouldn't want to put too much organisation into it though. And for the party, if Nice N Sleazy let us have another (which, to be honest ,is looking doubtful), then I think I'd have it exactly the same, it was all great.
And anything ele you'd like to add?
Thanks to everyone for all their help and for coming along, I had a great time, and it looked like everyone else did too.
Cheers, Grant.
We're just waiting on a few 'party pics' of the Scottish BMX Awards at Sleazy's, so as soon as we get them, we'll put up all that.
As previously mentioned, Finest Rob is also putting a load of video footage, so that should be up before the end of the week, so check back soon.
REEEEEEEEET!
