A local bike rider and organizer of bike events and comps, Jesse Nickell is looking to put together a Jump Jam at the Post Office Jumps. Jesse helped organize a deal so that the bikers could extend their lease of the land that Post Office is built on and helped to plan and build the FunSpot park in SC and put on the comp there last spring. Anyways this comp/jam at Post office would be amateur only, with a pro jump jam to follow after. He's looking to have this in September or October. We don't really know what shape the jumps are in but we imagine that they have probably beat over the summer. So Jesse needs help to put on this comp with multiple things. He needs help setting up things before and taking down after and help with working on the jumps prior to the comp. So if you would be at all be interested in helping or competing then send me a message on here and I will give you his email address so you can contact him and let him know who you are and that you would like to help. Remember that this can't happen without your help. And also keep in mind if you go to high school, this can be counted towards community service hours. Pretty easy and cool way to get your hours I would say.
Here is what we need:
We need help on many levels i.e.: graphics for poster, video for a documentation film (behind the scenes to the event), web page or something, looking for sponsors, swag and prizes, judges, jump building, score keeping, collecting the entry fees, set up scaffolding & pop-ups just a start of help items. This will be grass roots and all volunteering. It will be a low cost event for Free style Jumping amateurs with an open free style with the local pros jump jam at the end of the day. This event is a non profit and a show case for West Coast Jumpers. We will need sponsors and a local shop. Please respond if you want to help, we will be setting up a meeting soon.
Where:
the world famous Post Office jumps, Aptos, California. to get technical, across from 500 Cathedral, Aptos, CA 95003
When:
Late September, early October
Who:
Local upcoming kids with some pros mixed in
Why:
We have to get tons of people to show so that the City of Aptos realizes that this spot is legendary and so they don't plow it next year.
Any help would be great. The last event Jesse organized went off the hook and we are hoping that this one will be double in size. If you can't help, then please show your support and try to make it out there. Dates will be posted as long with more info.
