From what I've heard, it sounds like it's going to be invite-only. They're trying to keep the amount of riders pretty low so that the kids who are actually good don't have to wait for 20 gapers to do sketchy back boards.

its not really invite its just really you have to know who to talk too. The guy is an active member newschoolers, so all of the info is in a special forum over there seen only by about 100 people. there trying to keep it to a mininum of riders like dh said.

right now there is no more room for any other riders in this jam...i was only given x amount of wristbands for x amount of riders and crew to set this up... it kinda sucks that it had to end up like this because this would have been really cool to have it open jam, but word leaked all over and i had to make it a "private" deal. october 23rd there will be a jam at ski roundtop that will most likely be the same set-up possibly with a different rail, but it will be an open jam

I'll vouch for Joe G.... From the videos and chatter that I have seen and heard - the roundtop events are really good and worth making the trip for.

except the one last october was a complete mess. like 150 kids trying to hit one box that was falling apart. you got 4 or 5 shots at the thing if you were lucky. if you guys over at roundtop could get 2 rails in for that thing this year, they would be sick and would alleviate a lot of the crowd factor

Keep in mind that was the first time roundtop tried to pull something like that off in non-operation hours... plus who would have known how many people would come out and actually ride that jam...normally we get like half that for normal rail jams..

 

if we were to put 2 rails this year, it would require more snow/ice which right now isn't the easiest to get... most ice rinks in our area either arn't cutting their ice surfaces as much because its not hockey season(which is when they cut it more) and the rinks that do cut it more are switching to a different method of disposal rather than piles of snow behind their rink...

 

it is a good idea though and if it is possible, we will make it happen..but there will be more order and a better situation this year rather than the mass havoc that occured last year
