I sent this email to alot of people, but if I didn't have your email, I thought I would at least put it here to say thanks for making it another successful Final Exam Jam!

Hello everybody!

I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say either thanks for sponsoring, thanks for supporting, thanks for coming, thanks for words of encouragement, thanks for driving such a long way, and thanks for everything else at Final Exam Jam this year!!!

It rained horrendously on Friday going into the weekend, and it rained horrendously on Sunday going out of the weekend, but somehow in typical FEJ luck it was one of the most beautiful and sunny and warm and dry days of the winter on Saturday for the jam!!

Things seemed to go really well, and even though the rain kept some people from making the drive, we still had riders from FL, AL, the Carolinas, Philly, NY, West VA, a slew of Canadians (it still amazes me how many Canadians make the trip every year) and a ton of other states that I can't remember right now.

The flatland was incredible. A lot of Flatlanders of course, a lot of street riders on campus, and a lot of guys that took advantage of the concrete skatepark. The bunny hop contest got out of hand with Connall Keenan, Chad Moore, and GA Nick battling it out with Chad (after making the trip even though he was physically sick) topping out at 42 inches and Nick clearing 44 inches (!!!!). They all got prizes with Nick winning huge by receiving a Flybar pogo stick

The other random games were really funny and the much awaited Footdown Challenge (yes, BMXers knocking each other off of their bikes) finally got narrowed down to Keith King

The afterparty included a live DJ (Metrognome) along with flatlanders actually riding in the bar. The riders were selected for riding so hard and doing so well during the jam that they earned a spot in the demo and a bar tab paid for by Mr Jon Dowker and The Freestyle Connection

There's a lot of the magazines and websites that have offered to have coverage, so I'm holding on to photos for now, so hopefully you'll see some good coverage including pics of the 44 inch b-hop!

So, from the bottom of my heart thanks to the sponsors for the support.

Thanks to all the riders who come so far every year.

Thanks to all of my friends who help me get it done.

Thanks for all of you that put the flyer up on your site.

Thanks, thanks and more thanks, it means a lot to me (seriously)
