Slay the Rail 2012 from John Young on Vimeo.
I’ve been waiting for this one pretty patiently for a minute now. Ever year for the last 3 years, 2020 BMX Magazine has thrown the Slay The Rail contest which is essentially a rail jam at a bar. It’s pretty epic and each year it just gets bigger and better. This year around you could find Brock Olive, Nick Kajewski, Daniel Johnson, Marnold, Sam Illman, Matt Spencer, Mikey McMah, Jay Wilson, Chris Whyte, Jamie Mauri, Calvin Kosovich, Josh Druce, Liam Zingbergs, Dullah Djawas, Jack Elkins and Jack Kelly all throwing down and things got wild. Check out the video above to see for yourself!
I’m also stoked to see the end that they mention they are doing another event here next month that will be bigger and wilder! Hell yes.
“Slay the Rail has become somewhat of a legend amongst comps/jams, well in my biased opinion anyway. And this years was no exception, the event going off in a big way. 24 riders went head to head in one of Melbourne’s most notorious clubs. Brock Olive schooled the assembled crew to take the win and best trick with Matt “Tenna” Spencer coming in close behind after some of the most brutal slams of the night. Good times, BMX and good crew, what more could you want! We’ve got a feature in the upcoming 2020 issue 45 and will drop a little extra gallery on this post soon. Thanks to all involved, it’s been an epic three years. And a massive thanks to John Young for the slick edit. Yeeeeew!”
