Mons coverage #4 “Mons Jam II”
« on: January 26, 2007, 01:34 PM »
This was when FREEstyle was in full effect. No helmets, shorts or jeans. Just ride how you want. I think the cover shot sums it up, esp as its Mons local Ian Vert squirt. I was the rider who, in the under 16 write up, crashed. You can see me in the background of Nick Philips shot standing in front of the greenhouse. What you can’t see is the massive black eye I had from landing flat bottom on my face (even with a helmet on!).

I also scanned in a bit of the news section from this issue that has a little thing about the skyway team. And there is also a shot from this comp that was in a later issue of BMXA. I have even named most of the riders on the platform. What a line up!

Look in the bottom left of the Nick Philips shot. It has the caption for the centre shot written in pink

To right you should have made it down! Weren't you on Vincent for a while? If so, you would have got a cover shot, for sure!

Thanks Dave, where were you that day?  The jams were soooo much more fun than the UKBFA competitions, if you got thirsty you go just get off the ramp and go get some food or beer and get back on the ramp, a totally relaxed and fun atmosphere.

It is Jason Hassel, and he was awesome that day.  Big airs on a section of the ramp that always sent me to a hard landing low on the transition.
Mike Canning rode really well too.

Thanks for posting this Alex, well done.

Bad news I'm afraid, I've been searching for three days now without any luck.  I thought that I took it from Mons collection in June, I have about twenty pictures of his but the picture of your black eye and swollen face is not with them.  I will keep looking but I think that Mon must still have it at his house.

Thats cool. Maybe I should just ask Mon for it. He only lives round the corner from me, ha ha.

I definatly jacked it in at the wrong time, I put up with all those shitty 50p shaped quarter pipes and then just after I stopped riding the ramps got better  :(

Those ramp jams look well cool, I think I would have enjoyed them  :idiot2:
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

Bill - you missed out man. Tombstones, Canyon's, roll-in's, big and wide transitions to carve up and alley oop, doobies, surf shorts, pig shite   :10_2_12:    ...good times.

How's your backyard half pipe?

Cold and wet at the moment  :(

Mind you I`m not that disapointed that I missed out on the fashion back then  :police:

I think that shot of Nick Philip is perhaps the only shot i've seen of him riding a pipe, I seem to remember most other shots of him in the mag were street riding - like the infamous 'Walls' article. I know he was pretty mean with street riding but I never had any ideas about his ramp-riding.

Great scan, I'm even in some of the pics.
Wasn't riding but went along to watch.
Used to ride with Randy, remember riding the halfpipe at the side of his house.

can you scan in the next issue of bmxa where someone from on here wrote in to condemn the license burning?
