Its the second coming of the JibJam, The Vandal JibJam last year was the first ever national skate park mtb event in the UK and took the UK press by storm as the mid week jam rocked with riders coming from all over the UK. Now it's back with the biggest line-up of pro riders ever at a park event in Europe. Defending champion (curtis bikes) Gary Penman's back and will be joined by the finest: Grant Fielder (gt world team),Ollie Fielder (mongoose),Craig Jones (dragon),Steve Geall (G-bikes),Jim Davage (curtis),Elliot Firth (base),Rowan Sorrell (mojo) and Chris Smith (Gt world team). The hosting park will be Skate Extreme in Newport in south wales this time, on a Saturday night. The event's a rider run event, with money on the door going in to the pot for the pro comp. While the AM comp will have a Static park/street frame to fight for. Brian Lopes and Wade simmons will also be in the UK and with MBUK covering the event, we hope they will be joining us along with Glen Coe who could well stomp the double flip over Newports well loved fun box.
The event will be run by Jason Carpenter of Dragon downhill fame and Elbry Sandland of vandal clothing with sponsorship coming from new bike brand Static bikes and co-sponsorship from Northshorefreeriders, Dmr,Vandal clothing and Dirty Habit.
