This coming weekend will see the 2012 UNIT FARM JAM go down in the South Island of New Zealand. With a host of the world's best athletes converging on the beautiful Frew Farm, it is sure to be an incredible event!
See what the Frew Brothers have to say along with some photos of an early session on the freshly groomed trails with Hucker, TJ Ellis, Jed Mildon and Kelly McGarry...
The ideal way to test new jumps is to ride them. Then how do you test them to see if they are good enough to be ridden by pro riders? Get Jed Mildon, Hucker and TJ Ellis to come ride the Farm Jam course a week before Farm Jam.
This dirt and contest dominating trio made a trip to the Farm from Queenstown as they are there for Redbull Roast It at the famous Gorge Road dirt jumps in Queenstown. They wanted to find out what Farm Jam is all about, and do a spot of riding, relaxing, sightseeing and fishing and it came together on Tuesday, although we didnt catch any fish.
Instead of the 2000 strong crowd here to watch, our (Brett and Dan Frew) parents were the only spectators to witness the craziness and they sat in the sun, having a cold beer and enjoying what our collective hard work has been able to achieve over the years.
We had a 3 hour session on the jumps and the riding was incredible, throwing down and goofing off (Hucker), a lot of super high flips and 3 combos (Jed and TJ), lots of tech riding on the original hip line and lots of smiley faces (everyone). The only bad thing was that these guys won't be here for the Unit Farm Jam on 25th Feb and they were dissapointed, but at least they know what its all about...
All the guys have said they would like to return and ride our fun jumps in a quiet corner of a sheep farm in NZ.
So the jumps are in great condition, so much flow and speed, you can boost super high. They are truly ready for the huge number of AUS, USA and NZ riders ready to arrive for the Unit Farm Jam in just over a weeks time.
The FMX dirt has been thouroughly tested also, and the outcome has been awesome, the course this year is better than ever with that same, flowing trails type feeling Farm Jam Moto-X course.
So get ready for Unit Farm Jam 2012, the action kicking off with FMX at 1pm and throughout the day there will be NZ's finest, and 20+ visiting international riders to keep the crowd and riders very well entertained.
Stay tuned to the Unit site for more details, results and videos!
