 Ride Jibb Night
A jam session on the rails followed by finals.
One new competition, and three new rails. The slope was crammed with rails and boxes; you couldn’t get down the hill with out jibing some thing. The 40 foot long Animal rail is so long and stable, there’s enough time to get a pint in whilst riding it. The 30 foot Nixon down flat down box, is super stable and nice to ride. The 30 foot long, 5 foot high Blue J flat down rail is just plain intimidating. But one of the best dry slope rails I’ve ridden. The whole night was pretty much ruled by Luke Paull and Sam Cullum, but other noticeables were Ryan Evans, John Cooper and Tom (from MK and Ipswich, don’t know your last name). Luke Paull got a clean 50-50 the flat to front side 180 over the down on the Blue J flat down, so Sam Cullum stepped it up and pulled a cab board slide, gapping the flat section and landing almost at the end of the down. (Winning him self a set of Ride bindings for his troubles, and later he got his hands on a board too for getting this voted best trick.) Ryan Evans tried a couple of nice FS slides on the Animal rail, Sam was getting some speedy boardslides over it, James Broom was hitting it un-speed checked with some super clean 50-50s. Jon Weaver the decided it was time to set a new challenge and got us all to ride the Animal rail with roadwork cones on our heads, in an attempt to win a back pack. Every one stomped the Nixon box, one of the high lights was John Cooper front siding the lot. Loads of little rippers (Cody Heirons, Little Luke (from Bromley), Rebecca Cullum, Sam, Ed, Callum, Mike), were ripping up the slope, none of the got on the Blue J or Animal rails, but the were giving the Adults a good run for their money all the other rails, Rebecca and Sam got some nice board slides and 50-50s on the C rail and got some Natives.co.uk goodies for it, Cody was nailing nose presses and boardslides on the rainbow winning some extreme DVDs, and managed to boardslide the S rail (the Chatham S rail is very tight and nasty, soon to be rebuilt though). Little Luke had a few good attempts on the Flat Down Flat kink but unfortunately I didn't see him make the whole lot. I think every one walked away with a spot prize in the end, every one was pushing their limits to breaking point. Results: (and in the true spirit of a Jam session the riders themselves did the judging by voting at the end). Best Male: Sam Cullum. Nixon Watch Best Female: Rebecca Cullum. Nixon Watch Best Junior: Cody Heirons. Nixon Watch Best Trick: Sam Cullum. Ride Control Snowboard (gap to cab boardslide on the flat-down blue j rail) Well Done Craig who stressed us out a bit, but you pulled through in the end, completely enjoyed it. Thank you Jon Weaver for MCing, excellent job, the Jibb Night wouldn't have run as smooth with out you. The three new rails were excellent, so well done every one who put hours of hard work into getting them made (and Animal, Nixon and Blue J for funding the projects). A last thank you to all the sponsors, Ride, Nixon, Animal, Blue J, Morrow, Stinky Fish, Piste, Bloc, Document, Whitelines, Iris, Natives.co.uk, Strix Aluco, Just Add Water, Extreme Video.
