Vauxhall Trails Jam 2021

August 3, 2021

The Vauxhall Trails over in the U.K threw a jam the other weekend! Here’s a highlight video packed with a look at the riding and good times that went down. Unfortunately the rain shut things down early, but it looks like they got plenty of footage before that to make this video! Hit play and enjoy!

“Vauxhall Jam was a good day, but unfortunately got cut short due to the usually tricky British weather. And by cut short I mean a torrential downpour which led to the jumps being unridable and everyone huddling under the tarps. Nevertheless, Parky, Tom and the whole crew have a solid spot and the days they open their spot to everyone is always with welcome arms. Can’t ask for anything more!

Based on the footage it looks like there were a handful of teams there, so we can imagine we’ll be seeing a bunch of videos starting to pop up over the next few days. Get ready!

“Cruised out to NYC on Friday to link up with the Boston homies in NY for the weekend. Saturday we hit the Don of the streets jam which was put together by Austin Augie. He killed it on so many levels with this contest.
