EDH LOCAL ASSAULT JAM Q&A.. Sunday, November 1, 2009 As most of you know the EDH Local Assault Jam is taking place next week in Christchurch. The jam seems to be growing and growing every year, and with riders from all over the country making the trip to ChCh its fast becoming one of the biggest jams of the year in NZ.. So in the anticipation for this years Jam I decided to run a few questions past the event organizer and the man behind EDH, Travis Peek. Enjoy!
First, tell us a little bit about the history of EDH Local Assault Jam, how it came about, when it started etc? The first Local Assault jam happened in 2006 , it started out as an idea to try and get as many riders together for a "no pressure" chilled out jam at Washington reserve finished off with a loose afterparty at whatever club or bar would have us (This has been an issue every year as these partys end up getting real loose). As the years have gone on so has the attention the jam has got with the increase in sponsors and sponsor handouts. 2009 is going to be the largest L.A jam yet with an expected 100+ riders and prizes from 19 companies as well as cash prizes from Mountain Dew. What it the main format for the day.. how will the jam run etc? Since the first jam we have been playing with the format until we have found something that works, so at the moment we will be running the same format as last year by dividing the age groups and having 3 minute runs of 3 riders in a jam format in mini then street with the addition of afew random comps throughout the day. What time should riders get to the park for registration etc? Officially we are kicking off registrations at 11am but if you make it down earlier just sign in then, it will help with the last minute rush and also guarantee you a jam shirt if you're after one. Will there be any extra ramps this year at the Jam? We did look into bringing some more ramps in from Auckland but decided against it in the end because of how much more prep we would be looking at and leaving ramps at Washington overnight without security has never ended well, the 2007 EDH jam was a prime example lol. But yes there will be the Xair box jump down there again and afew random obstacles thrown into the mix. Is there going to be any pre or after Jams? Definitely, we are going to use this year as a trial year for a possible 3 day event in 2010. Friday we're going to be having a pre-jam / meet and greet at Thompson bowl in New Brighton in conjunction with SFA from 3pm onwards, bring some brews and BBQ supplies. Saturday is the official EDH L.A Jam registration is at 11am with a 12pm Kick off and Sunday will be a dirt post jam at non other than the Bowenvale jumps and that will kick off just whenever everyone's hangover subsides. Party? This years after-party will be in a private function venue at The Bedford on Bedford Row. The Bedford is used to gnarley gatherings anything from Cannibal Corpse to Skinshow so I'm pretty sure they will be able to handle this years after-party and not have the same issues as we did last year. Some free drinks from Jagermeister and Speights Summit thanks to Lion Nathan. Who makes the Jam possible? Over the first couple Jams it was just myself , but as things got bigger so did the work load so I had to get a small team on board. Rich Hill lent a hand in 2008 allong with Kelly Lynch but this year I'd say alot of the organising with sponsors and media has been thanks to Kelly, leaving me time to focus on the finer details of the week end. Do you think the jam this year is going to be a big one? Any big names in NZ riding coming? Im pretty confident this year will be huge, just the shear number of people from around NZ talking about making the trip os enough to say so. As for big names Im pretty sure a large number of NZ's big names will be making it down as well as a possible appearance from 2020's Mike Daley, Kenny Ragget and some other riders but this is unconfirmed at the mo.. What has been your best EDH Jam memory? Wow ummmm.... Id have to say Last years afterparty hands down, that night was sooo loose! Jono Hopping getting denied entry, climbing up a bus and jumping through the window into the bar. Then when we all got kicked out there were a whole bunch of dudes randomly opening doors of cars parked up at traffic lights and running through them.... amazing. Id say just shear size and the fact that we are in our 4th year now with plans of only getting bigger.Do you think there is anything that separates the EDH jam from other jams in NZ? F.Y.I : This years Jam will be closely watched by some members of the Christchurch District Council and will be a selling point to help push through the $350000 for the new Washington extension.  |
