My video up of the jam should be up in a few days on the FFT website; I just finished capturing the footage… and am going to wait until tomorrow to get working. In the meantime, here’s a short and very partial recap of the goings on.
- Jason Lopez, David Kapinos (“Japan”), and Will Grahn took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, respectively; as a result of this, Jason gets to compete at the SLC Dew Tour stop.
- Jason stomped a double-whip 3 over the box, hit the vert wall, and then attempted a 720 over the box backwards. Gnar.
- David tried a no-handed flip up the quarter-to-quarter step-up, and pulled perfect 360 invert over the box.
- Will threw a bar-to-bar out of a weird (and super fun!) roller thing that was propped on up the stairs, and cranked some turndowns.
- A guy whose names eludes me somehow managed to pull a backflip off the aforementioned roller thing.
- The token uber-am sandbagger ended up moving up to regular-am. He then threw a frontflip off the box lip, and completely bypassed the landing, going straight to flat. Street as fuck.
- Some dude in a “I have candy” (?) shirt did a fakie-to-frontflip in practice, and then proceeded to wreck his ankle and not compete.
- While texting Mike Packer, I shoulderchecked some kid who hit a hipblind and sent him straight to the floor. Reminds me of the time I hit this blind bank-to-bank gap at Vans and took out Dirty Duane.
- And… a whole bunch of other stuff happened…
Impossible. Dirty Dwayne has never, can could never be “taken out”. Get your facts straight. Ill be at the funspot (F-Unit) all week. Also, in the funspot post news, you may want to mention that Ryan Nyquist funded a large percentage of the materials of the park, instructed us all which end of a hammer to use and generally made the park happen. He then proceeded to destroy the park with his bike, and then lifted two quarterpipes up like bar-bells and drank up all the ocean when he was thirsty.

Dirty Duane definitely took my pedals straight to the dome back in the day. Watch those corners, kiddies.
Also, before I forget, Cru, stop calling “tuck no-handers” “tucknos.” Please, do it for the children.

Well, in that case, power to you. I finished the video an hour or so ago; assuming they don’t need any revisions, I’d think that it’ll be up tomorrow or the next day.

The video’s finished and on their server, and they OKed it on Wednesday. I’m not sure what the holdup is in getting it online.
