I arrived at the Ride Shakedown with the qualifiers for the jump portion of the Shakedown going on. Ams were spinning frontside and backside 7′s with a few throwing down Rodeos.
Manuel Diaz (from Wild Card’s How the Northwest Was One video), Tanner Davidson, and Colin Clarke placed in the top three spots and will be competing with the pros in Saturday’s main event.
It was great to see the ladies representing during the rail jam qualifiers. Megan Middleton landed hard on the downrail stairs half-way through, injuring her shoulder and was out of the rest of the competition. Raelynd showed solid riding and moved on to the Friday night Rail Jam.
The ams pulled out a lot of huge air during the qualifiers. There was also a lot of carnage.
