Oakley/Twenty jam Cap Decouverte, France.
It rained quite a bit on Saturday, the first day of the Oakley/Twenty jam near Carmaux, France. In the evening it dried up so the Oakley Best Trick contest could take place. With one award on the line the riders took to the concrete park and used some of the surrounding street ramps that were set up for the occasion. The complete Twenty team was on hand and Oakley flew in Sergio Layos. The session was mellow and the riding was great. The lights lit up the park very well and in the end it was Dimitri Ivanov who won with a no-hander to barspin in the deep end of the park. After the session was over everyone went to the local skateshop next to the bowl to watch the Twenty video that is coming out on 20 September 2005. All we can say is that the video is great and the parts of brakeless riders Alex "French Kiss" Dropsy and Gerome Gaultier are sick. Keep an eye out for this one, it's a must see.
With the hotel being 30 meters away from the park it was an easy walk back home.
