Guru Jam – Moments

October 29, 2013

Over the weekend, Flat Matters‘ Effraim Catlow was over in the U.S from the U.K as one of the judges for the Guru Jam. There’s a good chance you might have heard about this or saw some photos pop up, but here’s a real good video giving you a look at the wild riding and good times that went down during the event!

“GuruJam was the final stop in the AMFlat contest series, held in Columbus, OH on 10.28.2013 at the “Terradome”. It was in my opinion the best executed contest I’ve been to. I didn’t film the entire contest, but these are some moments from the parts I did film.
Special thanks to the sponsors and to Joe Cicman for hosting this and being an awesome human being.” – Jim McKay
