Justin Hoey’s bike check

in Bike Checks, Photos
Ya know I have had a lot of bikes over the years but never really had one that I really loved when I ride it. Most of the bikes that I have had have always been built from all the parts that I had laying around and not something that was built up the way I really wanted. For me this is the bike that I have always wanted to build but just couldn’t because of one reason or another. When I pick up this bike and pedal off for my first combo I can’t help but smile.

Jam Giveaways
In preparation for the Jam on Saturday we’ve devised a few contests to help give away some of the top gear we received from Primo, Lotek, FlatlandFuel and adidas. There will be Top Level 4 prize packs given away, with the winners of each contest earning the best stuff. Runners up will also receive a nice parting gift. After that there will still be a few odds and ends to give away, so there should be a lot of happy flatlanders! Here’s a quick breakdown:
Rider of the Jam – This award will go to the rider who rode the hardest, pulled something amazing, kept the vibe alive and generally kicked ass on all levels. An adidas sack pack will be stuff with goods from Primo, Lotek, FlatlandFuel and more adidas.
Trick of the Jam – This award will go to the rider who pulled something amazing. Basically, if a trick got everyone cheering, that’s a good indication it was the Trick of the Jam. Another adidas sack pack will be stuff with goods from Primo, Lotek, FlatlandFuel and more adidas.
Slam of the Jam - Been riding hard all day but just couldn’t hot that trick? Fear not, your slams, especially a spectacular one, will go rewarded. More adidas, Primo, Lotek and FlatlandFuel gear to the bloodiest rider.
Bunnyhop Contest - A specially devised, technologically advanced measuring devise (see photo) was built to measure the heights of bunnyhops. Really, it’s just a few sticks of wood and a classic bunnyhop contest. The catch? Any type of rider can enter, but only a flat bike can be used! The rider with the most hops will ride away with, yes, you guessed it, more gear from Primo, Lotek, FlatlandFuel and adidas.
Only five days until the jam!
