PSA Trails – Marmalade Jam 2012

July 30, 2012

These trails look like they’re so damn fun. That and it looks like everyone was having fun. Check it!

“So Saturday the 28th July I went down to PSA Trails down near Salisbury in Wiltshire for the first day of this years marmalade jam. The jumps were running smooth and were nice and dry even tho we have had so much rain recently, The local boys had really been working hard over the winter making new lines and big jumps being made massive.
It seemed as tho everyone there had a fun time and thankfully no one was seriously hurt altho a few minor crashes did happen.
So a big thank you to Tom (Bondo) Bond and the other locals for hoasting an awesome jam and hopefully to another next year!” – Dean Teifel
