THE MAIN STREET JAM Monday, November 30, 2009 Jed Mildon - huge Back Flip On the Friday just been the Main Street Jam in Taupo took place. The event was run on closed road in the heart of Taupo. The event consisted of a battle format on Box Jump to 1/4 set up. About 20 - 30 riders from around NZ where invited to compete in the event. Each rider was drawn against another rider, they each had two runs, the rider who scored the best from each run made it on to the next run. With instant scoring and every rider riding as hard as possible for the $1000 first prize it made for a very interesting and exciting comp.       Photos in order from top: Louis Bolter big tuck over his brother. I forget the kids name, but every time I have seen him ride he shreds, big Turn Down. George Bolter with a clicked look back. Paul Lanlands floating above the box. Nick Cooper came all the way from Aus to ride and compete, he has such a rad unique style, here he floats a big 360. Alan Montifore with his signature boost. In the finals it was Nick Cooper vs Jed Mildon vs George Bolter. All riders where amazing it it was pretty hard to tell who was going to come out on top. Nick Cooper did all his tricks super dialed, like 360 whips, cannon balls to x's, super man seat garbs on the 1/4, big inverts, and my favorite the 360 super man seat grab. Jed Mildon pulled out his bangers, flip whips, double whips and huge flairs, unfortunately he took a few hard crashes. George Bolter came out on top with every run super dialed. He did some huge 360 tuck no handers, 360 down side whips, huge tuck no hander airs, and ever threw down a dialed flair! George definitely deserved to win and took home the $1000.       In order from top: George Bolter was temporally back from Canada, NZ's only Red Bull sponsored BMXer. Steven, Piggy & Simon saying whats up. The score card girl. Jono Hopping was there killing it as usual Fraser with his unofficial sponsor. Justin Sweeney from Red Bull.. makes things happen!    In order from top: Jesse from Keri Keri.. huge tuck no hander. Hugh also rode super well all weekend, no foot can. Piggy whipping it out. Massive thanks to Jed Mildon for another amazing event.... thank you Jed!
