Blam
Saturday marked the start of it getting dark early again. So to celebrate another rockin’ summer done and to weep a little for all those sunny nights we should have ridden, we held the first annual Hell on Wheels End of Daylight Savings Jam.
Five Dock was the place to be and it all kicked off about 2pm. The rain stayed away and a big day went down. Stacks of crew showed up to rip 5Dock and for all those that hadn’t realized the goodness of what we reckon is easily the best park in Australia, the message got through. Aside a big crew of local and ring in crew from around Sydney and beyond, the touring Fit Bikes crew came down to join in the festivities. Rolling around and seeing Robbo, Van Homan and Dakota Roche at your local is a damn good thing.
Aside the usual mayhem, Xave and Alex Liiv incited some crazy action including the 1st Annual Death Bowl in the old bowl after a high air comp in the old girl. Picture 40-50 riders playing a game of foot down amidst broken glass, beer and high speed carves. Think gladiator fight club on 20 inch rides… Funny stufft! Our 8 foot quarter got cut down to a Taco shaped obstacle that provided much entertainment from the small bowl. Trucks, flips and whips all getting thrown into the mix. Add a big air comp in the failing light and you had yourself one full day of riding, running amok and hanging with a rad crew. Besides some crazy lady not agreeing with the language and ringing the cops, of whom 8 were needed to calm the situation (we guess coz it was a biker event and you know western Sydney bikers lately), the day went off.
A massive thanks goes out to Vans, Fit, 2020, Alex from Elite Cycle Imports for Iron Chef’n action on the BBQ, Leaf Cycles and everyone for rocking up and making the day rock. Mike S shot us thru some sweet pics. Click here for the gallery! Be there next year for a bigger and even more badass jam!
