RESULTS From The Esco BMX Park SUMMER SLAM by Jon Faure

Great turn out for the Escondido Summer Slam! I want to thank everyone for showing up and making this a great event. 57 riders showed up giving it their best and putting on a great show for the huge crown of spectators.

I want to give a special thanks to Brian Itzaina with Hidden Valley Bikes/SDBMX.com and Chris Gilbert with Omega Bike Shop for helping gather up some great sponsors and getting tons of donated prizes to give away and for our winners. Also, I want to thank Rob Morgan with Alienation BMX for helping with the judging and donating tons of great product. Jeff Gibson also did a great job helping with the judging and shows up at the park on a weekly basis helping the young kids learn new tricks. The judges did a great job with their consistency and I didn’t hear any complaints on the results. The legendary Mike Parenti was our announcer and had the crown fired up the entire time. We had to be finished up by 10pm because of a local noise ordinance. I didn’t know if we could pull it off but miraculously we wrapped everything up exactly at 10pm.

Most of the donations for this event came from Hidden Valley Bikes, Omega Bike Shop, Alienation BMX and Vans. They were a huge part of this great event.

We also had great product donated from Fit, Premium, Haro, SDBMX.com, Primo, Lotek, S & M, Evangeline, Mirra Co, Animal, Federal, Colony and SDSF.

Lastly, thanks to Escondido Skate Park for providing a great place to ride and hosting this event.

I am in the process of planning another contest for November. I'll keep you posted once I have an exact date. Next contest will be more riders (100 is my goal) More time to run the event. More sponsors. More age groups. More free stuff!

JOHN!!!!!! make another one please!



ima try to place again.. maybe win

It's Official. Next contest will be October 31 (Halloween) Starting at 11am. Ideas, input, feedback, sponsors etc... Welcome!

i got 4th? sick
if theres another contest i think there should be a jam format for the 17+ cause we didnt get one last time

That one wasn't my call. I was out in the parking lot and the judges made that call because we were short on time. Next contest will start earlier and we will have plenty of time to run the event.

im so going to enter and actually be at this contest
so unfair that i missed out on the last one but so stoked for the upcoming contest
