Zack Warden’s Figure 8 Trail Jam – More BMX Videos
There’s a lot of unheard of trails that have been going for quite some time and the Figure 8 is one of St. Louis’ best kept secrets. Check out this video from the big jam Zack Warden threw to help raise money for the play! Big turn out and some great riding.
“THE SPOT
Figure 8 is a dirt jumping spot in St. Louis, Missouri that has been running for nearly twenty years. It’s ran as a non-profit organization under the city’s blessing. Figure 8 features something for every level of rider, from beginner to pro. It’s an awesome place.
THE JAM
Every year, there’s a jam at Figure 8 to raise funds to keep the trails rollin’. The money goes toward everything from shovels, to watering equipment, to bobcat maintenance. Zack Warden took charge of the jam for 2015 and had support from his sponsors – Hoffman, Fox, and Monster – to make it happen.
JTM AWARD
The JTM (short for Jimmy Turner Memorial) award is a tribute to Jimmy Turner – a St. Louis-based rider who passed away in 2011. Jimmy was a beast who went full throttle at absolutely everything he did. If you look back at footage of him riding, you’ll see his skills were far ahead of his time. The JTM award goes to the rider who most embodies what Jimmy was all about. 19-year-old Landon Gideon took home the honor and the prize pack that went along with it.
VITAL BMX BEST TRICK AWARD
I threw down $100 for a completely impromptu best trick jam. Zack Warden landed a perfect 360 bikeflip and took the win. However, Zack – being the gentleman that he is – refused to keep the prize money and passed it onto Alex Rode, who landed numerous bangers in the jam.
FUN
If you’re ever in St. Louis, stop by Figure 8 for a session. The address is 4300 Hoffmeister Ave. Bring your helmet and be ready for a good time.
