Since Heaths first thread got ruined by outdated 100 foot pictures. Here is a repost of there Jump Jam, with the new pics. Place looks ripping, and i will be going fo sho.

Here is Heaths original post.
Check out norcalhub.com and go to cyclebration or the fam jam icon and get full details. This is a Redbull sponsored event so expect some good times and a quality event. It will be held at the Cummings Family Park in Folsom and will have a whole new series of jumps built and designed for this comp. Including the world famous Red Bull ramps for those with the cajones to handle them.
Details include-BMX and MTB. Separate classes, one am BMX, one am MTB as well as an open Pro BMX class and an open Pro MTB class. So far the purse is up to $1500 for the pros and there are DJ frames and bikes as well as other cool schwag for the ams. Registration is open on Active.com and the jumps will be open next week I believe. If not, you can always come check em out and ride the rest of the park which has the redbull wallride and the newly finished dual cross course-yes I said dual cross. Come check it out!

Bowlegged tabes for the ender. Epic.

A couple Santa Cruz riders most likely will head up there next week. Looks legit!

Wow.. those are good looking jumps.

 

[Heath Sherratt]

Thanks so much Zach. Yeah, George Stephenson III, Drew Powers, Mikey The MAd Haderer, Randy Spangler and countless others have put in some serious work to make the park a legit place to learn, practice and master your dirt jumping skills. Thanks as well to Armain and all the folks at Redbull as well. This last build night was epic as over 40 people showed up to help. We want to thank everyone for all your help and hard work, without you, this simply would not have happened. Can't wait to see you all on Thursday/Friday to watch the epic riding about to go down. It's gonna be sick!

 

[Heath Sherratt]

Reminder that the final build night is thursday from 5pm to 10pm. See you out there.

Bring chairs as there are only a few picnic benches and bleachers but plenty of grass to sit on. It's gonna be fun! See you soon...

Today is the Day! Sounds like TONS of folks are coming out to be the first year FAM JAM Champ! Big Shout out to Aaron over at SOLID BMX for coming through for the ams this year with a brand new AA Frame and Fork with swag galore! GO Aaron, good to meet you. For those of you who read this, remember the people that sponsor events you love when you go to buy a bike or wheel or tires or whatever they are hookin you up with, cuz without them, these things don't happen. See you out there!

The event was awesome. Good course, good crowd, and I guess the announcing was ok

Super fun to watch, and there were some real rippers tearing it up out there. Jamie Goldman won the mountain bike comp, and some kid named Andrew Taylor was throwing down huge and got 2nd. The kid who got 3rd in pro mountain bike had his 360 tailwhips dialed. It was sweet.

The BMXers were throwing down big too. Saw plenty of backflips and 360s, along with a couple 3-whips and even an attempted 720.

Thanks to Heath and The Hub for putting on an awesome event. I'm stoked I was able to be there.

[Heath Sherratt]

Wow, what a weekend. The event and support was amazing, you guys came out in full force and really made the event fun and loud! We learned a lot about how to run a freeride event and will have it really dialed next year, we're already planning for next year and it's gonna have a lot more industry presence so be looking for details starting next Sea Otter! Thanks again to all of our sponsors, Cannondale, Solid BMX, Trek, Yeti, Gu, The city of Folsom, Redbull, Troy Lee Designs, Fox Racing, Superior Mortgage, Bag King, and Second Chance Legal. You guys ROCK!!! Thanks to all who came out and supported us, we couldn't have done it without you.

Thanks for all the folks that made this happen
It was a fun time and needs to happen more
We're trying to get a sanctioned Skills Development Area in San Francisco too.
We gotten so far as the Parks Dept is waiting for a plan from us.
It would be pure heaven if we could get something like Folsom to happen in the city.
