Last Saturday was the last pro contest at Ramp Rats in P-town. You may have been sitting on your ass, at the Cult jam, or just not in the place to be. Contest was insane and Mike decided to run it in a Jam format. For a half hour the guys were going to ride and the house was going to be looking for; “highest wall ride, best trick, best line, and highest air.” Maybe about 7 people rode. Some including Joey Chernoff, Chad Bautista, Nick Noble, Andrew Lange, Travis Kaiser and our own Cameron Birdwell. Practice ran for a while to the point where the guys were ready to get things underway.

Highlights: Nick Noble I believe won highest air (8ft??) which happened to be over the 7foot hip. He also ally-oop-tailwhipped it, and straight downside-whipped it, backflip over the box as well. Chad Bautista seriously looked wayyyy to smooth. I told him he should have to ride someone elses bike. He was boosty as ever, huge carves on the wall, lots of ally-oop tweaked bar turn airs, and boosty airs from the hip-across-into the roll in for the box. Travis was similar in his own sort of Travis way, smooth and all over the park, some times doing doubles runs with Bautista. Chernoff looked composed as well, like watching his whips over the box since I never get to see him do that. Colby Kawubungah was in the house and was fresh out. It was his birthday and he is pretty much welcome where ever he wants. Andrew Lange was back to back bangers. HUGE off camber flips over the box, think I saw a flipwhip, front flip, double tailwhip. Random thought some scroapy kid did an old-school-no-hander-to-turndown over the box, pretty sick.

Cameron’s bike was freshly dialed for 2hours of havoc. Butt pads, check. Hip pads, check. Full battle gear. In no particular order over the box, 720 clean, only ones that day I think. One-handed 720 pulled as Mike announced through the P.A., “Cam is waving good bye to Ramp Rats in true form.” Barspin-to-nofooter. No-footed-360. Superman-seat. Truckdriver. Barspin-to-nofooted-cancan. Suicide-Truckdriver. Switchhanded-truckdriver. Bar-to-bar-truckdriver. Then highest unplanned-one-footed-wallride above the yellow paint. THE HIP: Cam took a run to the hip and stacked it his opposite way. Then he decided it would be easier to 270 it then just jump it opposite again. Coast-to-coast wallride.
