We ain't done with Rebel jam coverage. Still got some stuff to come, just like this little Dirt report. The spot was the same proven trails section at the Mellowpark. Not many changes but it's better than the regular 6 pack in a row at other events. The drop in gets you up to speed for all lines and you have several choices. Most riders chose the big sets but a few of them hit the sets on the right and others transfered from set to set (Doyle - BF - Hans). Each rider had three runs with two of them counting.

This meant you had one scratch in case you ended up with a dead sailor or didn't clear a set.

Big tricks were thrown by Colin MacKay, Ryan Nyquist, Ryan Guettler, Corey Bohan, Brian Foster and Chris Doyle. Nyquist plled hsi 720 barspin on dirt, Guettler did a fronty over the first big set and kept it going till the end. Bohan's style is unmatched and he did oppo 360-s better than regulars. Brian Foster rolled the dice on transfers and did the biggest 360 transfer of the weekend. Chris Doyle adapted to the German trails quickly and mixed it up with runs on the right side and on the big sets. Colin MacKay did 720 tundowns and 3-whips mid-pack (I believe). The level was high and nobody got hurt.

Chris Doyle ended up on top with Nyquist in second and Bohan in third and Guettler in fourth. These guys have won some dirt contests in their lives. Having all of them at the Rebel Jam was amazing.
