Huge Dirt Jump Contest In Brazil last weekend, pretty nice trails, 3 ramps ,starting with a gap drop giving a 60 KmH speed, first double about 2.90m high with a 7,70 meter distance to the 3,50m landing. "This is the formula to get good velocity to other 2 ramps", said by Eduardo Villar ( Rockets BMX ) the guy responsable to build those. All the dirt riders enjoyed at the first time view, the constest was opened 2 days before to warm-up and all BMXers could abserve the envorinment and the place, this is my main idea; have a nice time, not the usually contest competittion stress. Everyone could feel at home there, wich was the key for this big dirt jump event and best tricks shown in Brazil ever. Very young dirt riders show up different style and push up all the level and encrease the pontential of all those who went to easily win the prize, the 3 judges Andre Ribeiro (DreamBMX), Fabio Navarro (AranhaBMX) and Fabiano Gigante( Rockets BMX) were perfect and very well since the classify to the finals.
The dust has settled, the sunburn has gone, the injuries are healing, the hangovers are just a memory but what great memories we all have of the 2007 TWOAND8 Worcester Stephen Murray Jam. This year was a very special one as all proceeds from the jam went to our good friend Stephen Murray and his family. We raised over £10,000 and would like to say a big thanks to everyone who made the effort to come to the jam to ride, hangout, eat, sunbathe, party or draw blood. The whole weekend had a very relaxed and laid back vibe (as TWOAND8 jams do) due to the lack of a strict schedule and Redbull providing tunes all weekend.

The judges at the 2007 King of New York had one of their most difficult challenges ever this year in deciding who the King of New York Pro Champion would be but in the end, Jorge Jovel edged out Craig Mast to bring the King of New York Pro Title back to the Bronx. First-place qualifier, Craig came out swingin’ in the Jam on Sunday with bangers like double whips over the box and alley-oop flairs on the 6-foot quarter. But Jorge was not to be outdone, has been riding hard at Woodward Camp all winter long and the consistency and strength of his riding came through. His big transfers, huge front flips over the WesselBuilt box, and flairs and tailwhips on the 8-foot quarter put an exclamation point on his smooth, solid riding all weekend. When all was said and done, Jorge walked away $1000 richer and with a grip of new digs from Zoo York clothing. This is Jorge’s third KoNY Pro title – he claimed victory in 2001 and 2002.

The energy of the spectators shook the venue in Day Two of X Games Mexico Presented by Rockstar Energy Drink. Fans gathered to watch athletes exert amplitude and difficult maneuvers in the BMX Freestyle Vert finals. BMX Freestyle Street Elimination Rounds also selected finalists for events to be held tomorrow. In the BMX Freestyle Vert Final Simon Tabron of Great Britain, and USA riders Jay Eggleston and Zack Warden contended for the gold with high energy routines in the BMX Freestyle Vert Final. The three were the remaining finalists out of 10 competitors in the head-to-head jam format. 
Here's to brighter skies, that's the motto on the TWOAND8 / Stephen Murray t-shirt. As luck would have it, the worst summer ever in Britain took a break for the weekend and the resulting benefit jam turned out to be one of the best of the year. People young and old, friends new and old, they turned up from all over the country to ride, hang out and show their support for Stephen. It's fair to say that everyone had an amazing time. The total amount raised from the weekend has yet to be finalised but a sum near £10,000 is not far off the mark. 
If you weren't at the jam you missed out! This was seriously one of the best jams to date. Especially when you consider the registered turnout of 46 riders when hardly any of these riders even ride dirt. There was also the full mix of entertainment, from riding, semi-naked girls, a naked guy, good music and fire, to the inflammable, car and wrist wrecking paramedic Moo-Poo. The whole idea behind the jams is in creating fun events for kids. That's why we only had a beginner and am class.
