On August 17th, Tamarack hosted their 1st annual Dirty Jump Jam. It was an evening of twists, flips, music and food. For an event that was thrown together at the last minute and only gave competitors two weeks notice, it was awesome! The turnout was huge and the schwag give away was insane!
The comp was set up in a jam format where the riders had about 45 minutes to throw the best tricks they could. The platform above made for some impressive stunts as a few riders threw 360's, no handers, and X up's.
Further down the course riders were seen doing tailwhips, 360's, back flips, supermans, and whatever else they could come up with. A last minute BMX competitor was using the wall ride in ways the local park builders hadn't thought of.

Art throwing a 360. Art's 360's were out of hand that evening. He also went on to win the Idaho State DH series on Sunday.
While the practice runs were taking place in the park, there was also the Payette Lakes Downhill series taking place right at the same time. It was a two run format and had a huge turnout! Above are spectators checking out the action as racers came down the Firebird Trail.
