When did the Backyard Jams first start?
I'm sure I went to one of them. But it was just as I was about to stop riding (or I might have actually stopped by then).

All I really remember about it was that they seemed to only have one CD that was on repeat. It was the Nirvana Nevermind CD. I think that was a Backyard Jam. Does that sound familiar to anyone else?

Sorry to hoot my own.... but I'm pretty proud of a couple of Backyard Jam memories. 95, I landed on my face doing a 540 on vert, a clip of that crash made it onto the BMX MEN video from Allied. Then 96 I won the C-Group vert comp... Still crashed a 540 then though... haha.

Im happy and proud to say I made nealry every backyard jam, i think the only one i didnt get to was the first one - I used to go on mass with the dvon and cornwall lot - and remember a very very young and drun Tommy Bowers from Saltash nailing his nadsack to some wood. He also jumped the chasm that day too. I used to love those events, mikie richardson, Tim Ruck, Kev Perry, and tons of us form the south west used to pitch up our tents then drin cider the entire time. Ieven remember getting hoffman to sign my cider bottle as it was all I had in my possession.
We , however, could handle our devon-fall-over-apple-liquid and never started any sh1t, just had a damn good time without fooking theplace up.
I will say however, that devon legen Andy Quest claim sto have started the plastic bottle chucking next to the vert ramp as DMC was about to drop in... I for one believe him. Also Id never try and stop him as he is the size of two men welded togther with pure muscle!
Happy days.
steve

questy was a man mountain. though he seemed an ok bloke on the occasions i met him. did some filming with questy,tommy,colin and martyn tambling around 98/99 for my 'tidy' video- plus colin and martyn sent me some footage from back home at saltash for it. a friend of yours (max patten- lives in cardiff now)) introduced me to a rider who was getting good at a young age- martyn tambling. i remember him as a young 15 year when he bought 'bcr on the vcr' video off me at sk8 and ride back in 97. he was good then, good to see he kept it up and is now one of the top brit riders.
