Halloween 2007 | 9th Street BMX | Duncan Park Austin, Texas

Nightmare on 9th St. 10/27/2007

9th Street BMX Halloween Jam 2007 was definitely the biggest, if not the best jam ever.

THE TRAILS:
Were incredible! Better than they have ever been. That being said, Big Rob and AZ Adam have been holding it down, keeping with tradition, and digging like crazy all year. Behind their backs all the locals agreed recognition was due. P-dog/Patrick the old trail boss has been busy baby bossin and also agreed it was time to pass the shovel. We presented Big Rob with the GOLDEN SHOVEL, and AZ with the SILVER SHOVEL. Texas is so lucky to have 9th St. & 9th St. is lucky to have locals like Big Rob and AZ!

THE PEEPS:
So many super talented riders. Austin / 9th St has always been a magnet for BMX and we have so many pro-level riders who call the bench home. There was a huge turn out of out of towners who we hopefully made feel right at home. Lots of costumes and friendly faces having fun. Nobody got hurt too bad, excluding Doug E Fresh's pride. Nobody got too mad, excluding PEREZ when he went to jail the night before the jam. To all the locals and friends that couldn't make the jam we missed you very much and there is always next year!

THE PRIZES:
This year we gave away Thousand$ of Dollar$ in prizes from our very generous sponsors. EMPIRE, HOFFMAN, LIQUOR BIKES, MUTINY, V-CLUB, and TERRIBLE ONE! Please support these companies as they keep it real! We can't thank you enough for your support. I heard alot of very positive comments from the prize winners and surprised spectators. Thanks to Doug E Fresh for the Trophies!

Coach provided Trail roosters for the jam. Lending credit to Rocky's trainer and Jason Cooper's theory of "Catch the Chicken". The Roosters now call 9th st home and have a roost by the Chicken jump, Please don't mess with them.

Almost in, barely out

Hmmmm?

Someone, probably Racer X, sabotaged Speed's steering wheel jump buttons.

Which resulted in a horrible crash on the worst road surface imaginable. Speed shook off the pain but his pride was shattered. Speed would have surely won this competition, but was happy to take second place to his friend AZ
