Here’s two more from the Mongoose Jam that went down last week at Woodward East! Above is the highlights from the dirt contest along with the final results to the contest. After that, check out the Lucky Camper Contest after the jump that you can see some of the campers throwing down for a spot on the teams!
“The 2014 Mongoose Jam Dirt Competition wrapped up at the Camp Woodward dirt course on Friday. The results decided which team would take the glory and bragging rights as well as the largest portion of the $50,000 prize.
At 12PM EST, the entire camp gathered to watch the pros and their fellow campers compete for the win. Everyone cheered as they watched Drew Bezanson (Team Ryan) nail a never-before-seen no handed backflip peg grab. The crowd got even rowdier as Kenneth Tencio attempted a backflip superman seat grab to tailwhip for the fans. However, it was Daniel Sandoval (Team McCann) who took first in the Dirt Competition. Not only was it his wicked downside whip 360 to barspin, but also his variety of tricks, execution, and solid runs that landed him at the top of the leaderboard.
After a solid day of tearing up the dirt, and as scores were tallied, Camp Woodward BMX campers were sent on the hunt for a hidden pedal belonging to Greg Illingworth. The pedal was part of the bike which he rode last year, and this year, it was given to a lucky camper.
In the end, riders met to hear which team was going home with the win. Team Peraza was amped on hearing their names announced – taking home First Place at the Mongoose Jam. Team Peraza totaled the most points overall in Dirt, Park, and Street. Pro Matt Ray (Team Wallace), and former camper, took home M.V.R. (Most Valuable Rider) for his awesome riding and was awarded a Mongoose Teocali mountain bike.
All of the Mongoose Jam amateurs went home with a custom, American-made Mongoose frame, a brand new GoPro 3+, and awesome Mongoose swag. In addition, camper Jackie Straiton (Team Peraza), who pulled a barspin to tuck no hander, was also awarded a free week at Woodward.

There was no doubt in anyones minds that things on the street course would get absolutely insane for the Mongoose Jam! The Street Finals went down the other day and now we have highlights just to see how crazy it got thanks to Ride BMX. Take a peek!
“From beginning to end, this four minute recap of the Street Jam at the Mongoose Jam is pretty damn unreal. Opening up with Corey Martinez’s never been done half cab to ice down a rail, a front flip off a ledge, a tooth hanger-to-over ice, tailwhip to ice down a rail, more than a few wild backwards grinds, and ending with Peraza’s super clean 540 cab down a set of stairs.
“During today’s Mongoose Jam Street Competition, pros and amateurs ripped at the Block, the Plaza, and the Outdoor Street course at Camp Woodward. Riders landed tricks in all three areas, but the coolest feature was Mongoose’s custom “M” logo ramp. The Street Comp was the second event in the Mongoose Jam, and the teams showed no signs of slowing down.
Campers cheered on the teams as everyone gathered in the designated Street Comp zones each offering riders a chance to show off a variety of skills. Every team had three runs in each section – the Block, the Plaza and the Outdoor Street course. Highlights included Team Illingworth’s Corey Martinez nailing a never-been-seen-before half-cab to icepick grind at the Plaza; Team McCann’s Kyle Baldock landing a perfect front flip off an upledge at the Block; and Team Peraza’s Jeremiah Smith’s technical combinations in the Outdoor Street course, to put Team Peraza in first.
Team Wallace’s Matt Ray, an amateur camper last year, took first place in Street showcasing incredible consistency and never falling off his bike. Additionally, Mongoose team captain Kevin Peraza, out of his usual Park environment, pulled off some wild lines and placed third.
Tomorrow, Mongoose Jam wraps up with the Dirt Competition, where it will be decided which team takes home the largest portion of the $50,000 prize purse. In addition, each amateur will take home a custom, American-made Mongoose frame as well as a brand new GoPro 3+.

Here’s a look at the highlights from dirt practice that went down the other day for the Mongoose Jam that wrapped up today out at Woodward East! Expect more highlights here soon, but until then enjoy this one!
“Kevin Peraza, Drew Bezanson, Clint Reynolds, Dan Foley, TJ Ellis, and more run through the dirt section at Woodward in prep for the upcoming Dirt portion of the Mongoose Jam. As you can tell, it’s a mix of messing around and a few wild tricks. As it should be.” – Ride BMX
The Mongoose Jam is going down at Woodward East this week and things have already started off with a bang! Check out the highlights from the Park Finals that Ride BMX just dropped!
“Camp Woodward’s Lot 8 saw riders ripping through it again on Wednesday for the 2014 Mongoose Jam Park Competition. The first Mongoose Jam event featured 27 riders, including 22 of the world’s best pros and all five amateur Woodward campers selected from Tuesday’sLucky Camper Competition.
Each rider was given 40 seconds and three runs to throw down, with the best session counting as their final score. Riders were scored by a panel of three judges who focused on the number and difficulty of tricks, along with the guys’ unique ride style. The Park Competition wasn’t always about the trick, but the line the rider took to land it.
The Woodward campers brought it to the Park Competition proving that they can hang with the pros. Team McCann’s Freddie Smith showed off some unique and off-axis backflip bar spins while Team Wallace’s Jack Mould landed a back flip tail whip into a bar spin. Team Ryan’s Shane Goldsmid hit a cork 720, and a barrel roll during his runs.
Monster highlights from the pros included Kyle Baldock’s 1080, though, his third attempt, and Daniel Sandoval’s 360 downside tail whip to double bar spin. At the end of the Park session, it was Mongoose team captain Kevin Peraza that came away with the win – during his run he landed a huge stalled out front flip, decade air on the quarter, a superman seatgrab on the step-up and much more.
Next up, the Street Competition, which will take place on Thursday. Mongoose Jam ends Fridaywith the Dirt Competition, where it will be decided which team takes home the largest portion of the $50,000 prize purse. Get live updates at http://www.mongoose.com/usa/jam/.
