So Wow Cam's Jam has come and passed, and wasn't it craz!

What a bloody week, so much happened and many fun times were had. Rain was a constant threat to the jam but for whatever reason it rained the day before and the day after the jam and left us with a good day for the jam.

Practice started early, even well before the crowds started turning up, i was feeling great on my bike and having a good time.. But for whatever reason i got a little cocky i think and fell pretty damn hard on my face on the last set which winded me pretty bad and left my face a mess, so i chilled out with the paramedics for a little and recollected myself.

Come jam time i pulled myself together and headed up to the roll in. My plan was just to ride the night with minimum falls, as any more hits to the head probably would have blown my eye open. So i took a back seat and just rode through the jumps without throwing anything too exciting..

I knew i had some plans for best trick, so i just held off until then, I had been eyeing up the big transfer all night and was hoping i could make something work off that.

So i had what felt like a million bitch runs at it nervous as, because it was such a long and high jump then just sent a frontflip. Straight off the bat i thought i was going to over rotate, it felt stupid slow and just wrong but as i come around the landing was there and i rode out perfect... I was soooo pumped mainly because i didn't die on it haha. I called it right there and went and stood to watch the rest of the craziness.

Dane was out there trying his new trick flip no foot can to whip, this is a seriously retarded trick and i was so pumped to see Dane go for this cause i know how much he wants to get it done and claim it, he got super close on one of them but just landed a bit off.

Jake Condron followed the transfer line up with a big big whip on it, then next run proceeded to decide seeing as he could single whip a double whip must just be as easy.. clean as butter. And who can forget Clint Bensley just manned the hell up and sent the biggest double backie ever. He was so close and unfortuently he didn't get a 2nd go as little Chris Harti took a slam that KO'ed him for a little while.

In the end i walked away with the best trick award and a giant cheque! I couldn't believe it.

Thanks to everyone that made Cam's Jam possible. A special thanks from me goes out to Cam's Parents Hess and Heather for having us dirty bmx'rs take over there house. Thanks so much for everything guys your the best.

Anyways I'm at home trying to recover from my battle wounds and gotta get ready to head to Bendigo this weekend for the Connections BMX Store jam at Eaglehawk skatepark can't wait..

Until next time..
Peace
Cam Pianta
