Mongoose announced the official roster for the 2014 Mongoose Jam set to kick off on August 6th through August 8th at Camp Woodward in Woodward, Pennsylvania. Twenty-five pros and five amateurs will compete over a three-day period pushing the boundaries of the sport of BMX with an authentic blend of camaraderie, riding and, of course, fun. Mongoose pros Greg Illingworth, Steve McCann, Kevin Peraza, Paul Ryan, and Ben Wallace have each chosen four pro
s to join their teams. One lucky Woodward camper will also be drafted to each team during the Amateur Selection Session, the first event of this year’s Jam.
Full teams for the 2014 Mongoose Jam are as follows:
Ben Wallace: Dennis Enarson, TJ Ellis, Tyler Fernengel, Alex Coleborn
Greg Illingworth: Mike “Hucker” Clark, Ronnie Napolitan, Corey Martinez, Brian Kachinsky
Kevin Peraza: Jeremiah Smith, Pat Casey, David Peraza, Kenneth Tencio
Paul Ryan: Drew Bezanson, Ben Lewis, Pete Sawyer, Maxime Charveron
Steve McCann: Stevie Churchill, Daniel Dhers, Daniel Sandoval, Kyle Baldock
The Mongoose Jam consists of individual Dirt, Street and Park contests. All Mongoose Jam riders are invited to compete in each event. However, each team’s top two scores from each event will be the only scores to count toward their team’s overall placing. The team with the highest cumulative points after the last contest will be crowned the 2014 Mongoose Jam champions and take home the largest chunk of the $50,000 prize purse. Teams will earn points according to their placement in each contest. An overall Mongoose Jam first place team will be crowned after the last event.
