Mongoose Jam

 

Three days of BMX competition wrapped up at Woodward West in Tehachapi, CA, as Team Wallace, lead by Mongoose rider Ben Wallace won the first-ever Mongoose Jam, with overall wins in Dirt and Park.

The action began on Wednesday with the Amateur Audition, a jam format park contest open to all Woodward campers. Brad Thomas, Mike Mendoza, Todd Cagel, Shea Doran and Ed Percival had the skills to win a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to compete against the pros and receive a yearlong flow sponsorship with Mongoose.

The BMX-only event featured competition among five teams, each headed by one of Mongoose¹s pro riders ¬ Greg Illingworth, Steve McCann, Paul Ryan Ben Wallace, and Cam White. The Mongoose team captains each chose a group of four pro BMX athletes, and drafted one amateur rider from the Woodward campers¹ Amateur Audition to compete in Park, Dirt and Street contests.
