If you came out for last Saturday’s Jibba Jabba Rail Jam at Rye Airfield then you know at least 2 things. One, the riders threw down. Two, it was cold as hell! 3 classes of riders competed and the 16 invited riders made it super hard for the judges to narrow down the field. Mark Edwards, Ben ross and Brandon Honeycutt were the final 3 to go to a game of “JIBBA”. Honeycutt edged out a fine-tuned Ben Ross for the $500 cash purse. No doubt, there was some doperiding goin down despite the low temps. Look for the pics here.
