Over the weekend, we threw the 4th annual BV Jam at Bluff Valley Campground’s Over the Top Skatepark in Zumbro Falls! Over the years, we’ve seen the event grow a ton and had a ton of riders from all over the Midwest show up for the event and this one definitely had people coming from all over once again! We decided to give a two day event a go compared to trying to cram everything into one day like we had in the past and it gave the jam a much more laid back feel versus “how can we get these runs through faster so we don’t have everyone stuck here until midnight!”. It was definitely more about having fun and hooking everyone up for coming out this year and that was what we were aiming for! Below we have a ton of photos I shot when I wasn’t running around helping to keep things moving along. There’s also results from each class and some of the mini jams we did. Huge shout out to everyone who came out this past weekend, Blake, Adam and Nate at Bluff Valley for all the hard work to get this event happening, Karl Hinkley and Tim Oliver for announcing and all of the sponsors! We couldn’t have done this without you. Until next year!

Quick Session with Eugene Serrato at Bluff Valley
Eugene Serrato made his way down to the Bluff Valley skatepark a few weeks back. While he was there, Blake Waters pulled out the camera to film some of the riding that Eugene was putting down. Take a look at what he came up with. This guy has some smooth tooth hangover’s to crank arm slides.
Bluff Valley Session with Trenton, Jake and Alex
Alex Richardson, Jacob Hendrickson and Trenton Neiss made their way to the Over the Top Skatepark at Bluff Valley last Friday. While they were there, Blake Waters pulled out his camera to film the riding that was going down. Looks like they had a real productive session.
NoWear Crew at Over The Top
This past Sunday, the NoWear crew made a trip to Bluff Valley’s Over The Top Skatepark for a session. I happened to be there, but spent the whole time starting to feel the effects of food poisoning from something I had the night before. However, that’s beside the point, haha. Colton Walker, Tim Oliver, Fenger, Pirate, Karl Hinkley and a bunch of dudes were shredding the park hard all day and it was a damn good session. Blake Waters pulled out his camera and filmed a bunch of the clips for this new edit. Check it!
Reminder: 2nd Annual BV Jam
Just a reminder that the 2nd Annual BV Jam that I’m putting on is going down at Bluff Valley’s Over The Top Skatepark THIS SATURDAY (February 4th). I’ve got stacks on stacks on stacks of product from all of the sponsors to give away… Like… I need a truck to get everything there. Everyone is leaving with some goodies! Be there if you are looking for a good time! Doors open at 10 a.m. Session starts then. Noon for the Beginner and Intermediate contest… Pro / Expert class starts at 2 with a bunch of jams throughout the day and I’m sure a product toss will get in there at the end.
Shout out to ALL of the sponsors for the support. Couldn’t do this without you guys.
BV Jam Quick Edit
Erik Elstran popped together a quick edit from the Bluff Valley Jam that I threw on the 29th. It was a pretty relaxed day but there were definitely some good times had. Thanks again to all the people who came out and everyone that sponsored the event.
Oh, and a little heads up. New site coming soon.
Update: BV Jam 2011 Flyer
Where has January gone? It flew on by real quick along with the million other things going on. Either way, the 29th is the big day for the jam I’m throwing at Bluff Valley skatepark which is this SATURDAY. Above is the updated flyer. I was able to get a lot of support for the jam as you can see by all the sponsors for the flyer, and I’ve already got a ton of stuff to hook everyone up with (with more still on the way!) for riding and coming out. I’d like to thank everyone who pitched in to help make this happen. The doors open at noon Saturday with the contest getting underway at 2. It will be $10 for the whole day with half the money coming in for the day going towards the prize money being given out. I hope you can make it out.
Check out some prize photos after the jump.
