Early this month Woodward West hosted the 4th annual Mongoose Jam. If you’re not familiar with the event, it works a little differently to most main stream BMX competition. Rather than riders going head to head, they compete in 5 teams of 6 riders, each captained by a Mongoose Pro, who picks their 5 favourite guys to ride with to join their team.

Each team has to ride all three categories, which means you might see some unexpected faces following throw the trails.

DAY 1 – BMX DIRT

“On Tuesday, August 4, Mongoose Jam kicked off at the Woodward West Dirt Jumps with the Dirt Contest. Headwinds didn’t stop pros and amateurs from tearing up the course. Each rider was given three runs to throw down. The top two scores per team counted toward the day’s final scoring. Campers turned it up during the contest to proving they could hang with the pros. Team Illingworth’s Bryce Tryon got rad on the big line with an X-Up to barspin transfer, while Team Wallace’s Chase Pauza hit a smooth X-Up into a turndown. The audience was stoked to see team captain Ben Wallace back in action and watch his clicked 360 lookbacks and dialed double whips. At the end of the contest, it was Team Peraza’s Pat Casey who walked away with the win after a massive downside 360 tailwhip, barspin to tailwhip among other hard tricks throughout the course.”
