Yesterday we brought you the Farm Jam from Kelly Mcgarry's perspective. Plenty of laughs, good riding and all round good times. Now it is time to hear from the rest of the team, and there is definitely no shortage of memories! Check them out below...

PS: Joe skipped the questions, and just sent a full update, bloody Sheppo.... How you doing, alright?!

 

BRETT  FREW 'Frewmeister'

Time spent in travel? I came to the Farm a month ago to dig and havent left yet.

Riding Highlights?  I saw a million things I never thought I would see on my jumps go down. ALL the BMX blew my mind, it was next level. Jake Prebble went about 8 feet out of the dirt quarter and Kane 720'd a fast big double that only one person has ever 3'd before! Levi Sherwood dropping bombs! And NZs fastest racer Scott Columb with 90 deg whips on small jumps.

How did you go? I fixed my rear tyre twice during the comp but rode solid when I could dammit

Gnarliest crash? Callum Shaw fully threw his MX bike on a 70ft dirt jump then got up and jumped again about 8 seconds later

Funniest story? Markooooo

Final Thoughts? Lets do it again next year and add more radness

 

LEVI SHERWOOD 'Shezza'

Time spent in travel? Two and a half hours each way.

Riding highlights? Riding with all the boys, don't really have one highlight as such. Just a bloody good weekend all round

How did you go? Yeah not too bad

Gnarliest crash? Well i got to give this one to Steve Sommerfield for sure, although Callum Shaw took a good looking digger aswell

Funniest story? Listening to Sheppo give everyone who podium an Aussie nick name.

Final Thoughts? Awesome comp / weekend, cant wait to go back next year.

 

NICK FRANKLIN 'Franger'

Time spent in travel? 4 hours either way

Riding highlights? Riding the course for a few hours, its a fun track to ride

How did you go? Good, till my bike bogged

Gnarliest crash? Mine, it wasnt that great but i'll claim it

Funniest story? The nurse telling me im an idiot thinking the human body has a bone
called a scaphoid in the wrist, it's in the thumb! haaha

Final Thoughts? It was a cool event and i met some new riders and some old friend
which was rad, i just wish i was a part of the event day in the end

 

DAN FREW 'Frezza'

Time spent in travel? It's 18 steps to me Moto, and by time Ive clicked 5th, Im rolling my Track

Riding highlights? Everybody killing it! All the right people ended up at the top!

How did you go? Sweet, had heaps of fun riding with all the lads, Invited too many young rippers to get any of my Prizemoney back! Didnt place, my brain was a bit wrecked after being sooo busy, and havent been on my bike enough lately..

Gnarliest crash? Steve playing Tag with me Mid Air

Funniest story? Seeing 5 Aussies and all their gear jammed into the smallest rental available! 4 gearbags hanging off roof with some string!

Final Thoughts? Couldnt have asked for a better day out riding in me backyard, massive cheers out to everyone that helped us nail it!

 

JOE SHEPPARD 'Sheppo'

 guys, back in Aus after the Farm Jam and I've got to say it was probably the most fun I've ever had at a comp. Dan Frew had prepared an awesome moto course, which had a bit of everything in it, and when we were having a break from riding we could watch the bmx and mtb boys shredding the incredible lines Brett Frew had put together.
 
Some of my favorite moments of the trip were:
 
-Watching Levi do a perfect turntable to one hand lander off a dirt kicker
-Jake Bowens massive dub nacs
-Can't remember his name but the guy front flipping the drop on a bmx - insane!
-Dane Searles going stupidly high down the whole line and jumping over the half pipe.
 
Then there were some other awesome moments like:
 
-Giving everyone Aussie nicknames... Yeah Franga!
-Watching Dane do mad skids and max doughies on the AG200
-Smoking Levi in the neutral race down the hill
-Having beers around the fire with Shezza, Rosco, Davo, Franga, Evo, Twisty, Chinga, Makka and MARCO!!!
 
A huge thanks to the Frew brothers, you guys are awesome and I can't wait till next year!

p.s. I think we set a new record for the most amount of riders and gear bags in (on?) a Kia Rio on the way back to the airport!
