The After Otter Jump Jam!

Apr 20, 2010 at 13:31
by Justin Brantley  
Every year after Sea Otter there is a Jump Jam at the Post Office Jumps. This year was the last year the jam will happen because the jumps are getting plowed due to commercial construction of the the land. The turn out was great, so many riders and spectators, and we had awesome weather all day. Most of the worlds best dirt jumpers were there, as well as pro DH racers like Kyle Strait, Andrew Neethling, Brendon Fairclough, Dan Atherton and many more.

Stay tuned for GoPro's contest video from the jam for you all to vote on the best trick.

Check inside to see some great pictures from the final Post Office Jump Jam!

Brandon did all these tricks back to back, then on the last jump he threw a wild CORKED 720! I was not able to get a sick shot, but the video will have it no doubt. Stay tuned!

 It's gotten to a point where you can't really tell what's happening on Semenuk's photos, the guy is just amazing!! And on top of it you get him to a Rampage type of competition and he wins it too... Semenuk rules

 the owner has no choice but to level all the jumps... they knew it was going to happen for a while now and they're ok with it since they are suprised they got that much time out of the spot!

 I've come to the conclusion that Semenuk isn't human. There's just no way it's possible.

 I guess i'm the only one but i think the "sick three inward" looks mingin! Really it's gettin to the point that if you're hanging off the bike in any direction that it can be portrayed as style or steeze.

Apart from that some sick shots and style goin down.

Bring on the negs...

 You're implying it's not style because of his body positioning that is inherently part of the trick? It's just the way he rides, handles, and feels comfortable on the bike. He was one of the most interesting styles that I've seen aside from Lacondeguy.

 That sucks that they are getting plowed. Does anyone know if they are planing to build in a new location. In an economic sense a town would be really lucky to have a place as popular as this.

 It's simple. The owners of the land were cool enough to let people build jumps. Now, they were able to sell the land. It's not about the property owners being assholes, it's about the jumps being built on private property. It was rad while it lasted, but no one could assume it would last forever. Still a bummer though.
