The Riot is proud to announce that our 9th Riot Jam will be smashing
all of you right in the face on the 10th July 2010 at Urban X Skatepark
(Sunninghill).
Every Riot Jam is bigger and better than ever and this one will
be no exception... More prize money and more prizes will be given
out than any previous one. To top it all off we could have found
a better venue!
Urban X Skatepark is largely geared towards BMX and will set the
stage for some wild shit that most riders have only spoken about
at the park but have never attempted... this is their opportunity!
Brent from Pro Ramps has been keeping the park fresh over the past
few months with small changes here and there and by the time the
comp comes there will be more additions specifically designed for
BMX and for The Riot Jam... including the box jump being turned
into a step-up, which will allow for a lot more trickery to be thrown
down.
Also for the first time we are having BEGINNER, AM, and PRO!!! This
means everyone has an equal chance to compete against riders of
the same or similar skill level.
To top it all off... you will be a fool not to expect the same wild
and out of control shit that goes down at any Riot Jam!
Prepare for one hell of a Rock 'n Roll Riot!
This event is made possible by Fox, Mongoose, Urban X, and Snafu

The
Riot UK Tripping Video- Part 1
A
lot of the footage we got on our trip to the UK will be used for
The Riot video coming out at the end of the year, but we did manage
to film a bunch of stuff that needs to be seen but won't make the
cut for the video. Here's part one of that footage. Part 2 will
be up in a week or so.

Jam at Urban X 18 July FRIDAY!!!(Sunninghill park)
A little
bit short notice but there is going to be a Am jam at Urban X TOMORROW
from 1pm until 5pm. Product throw outs, stickers, and of course
some rad parts for the top 3. Some new additions to park have gone
down so come hang out and have a good time. Here's a little vid
we posted a while ago from some recent sessions at the park.
It's
that time of the year again when everyone needs to head for the
warm weather of Durban for the Fox Pro AM. Fox has been putting
on these comps for a few years now and everytime they get better
and better. Colin Loudon has returned to his dirty playground to
build the perfect trail set up for the event. Once again The Riot
is co-sponsoring the event with Monster Energy and SNAFU. The comp
also falls on the same weekend as Giba Gorge's Birthday and they
have tons of stuff going on... check out their facebook event here.
The day after the comp most of us will be heading to Durban beach
front for jam at the new park. Prepare for a pretty wild weekend.

Riot Jam Pics
Thanks
to all who showed up for the jam yesterday. We were super amped
on the turn out... around 50 riders! The whole day was pretty mellow
and gave the riders a chance to check the new additions to the park.
Gift vouchers were handed out when someone did something really
cool and near the end of the jam we set up the ledges for a line
contest. Byrone Jones and Hannes JVR threw down the hammers here
and it was tough to call a winner but right near the end Byrone
landed a pretty rediculous line and walked away victorious. Here
are a few pics, we'll have some more up on facebook pretty soon.
Colin - Turndown
Stuart Laing- nac nac
Stuart Laing- hang nothing
Daniel Roffey - Invert

Riot Jam At Our New Shop in Sunninghill
That's
right... we have opened a new shop in Sunninghill Village mall at
the Skatepark. Since Boogaloos closed down there Brent and Melody
Tusson have taken over the park and the shop. This is really good
news for all of us... they are the ones that owned the old Kyalami
skatepark and that park was amazing. Brent builds the ramps for
most of the parks around the country and now that he has his own
park to play with again you can expect some awesome changes every
few months. They have already made some really good changes to the
park that make it a lot more fun.
These pics are of the first stock we brought in. There will be more
in there by the weekend. Expect some opening specials too.
To celebrate our new shop we are having a Mini Riot Jam there on
Sunday 6 June from 1pm until 5pm. Feel free to come earlier or stay
later if you like. We have chosen that session to hold the jam.
The cost to ride the park is R30 for a 4 hour session and there
will be no entry fee for the jam. We are not going to run a proper
comp or anything... just want to get a bunch of guys having a rock
'n roll time at the park. Spot prizes throw outs will be going down
for sure. We also going to throw in a few random comps like highest
hop, best grind etc.
Everyone is welcome so bring all your freinds! See you all on Sunday.
Here's some pics of the outside section... the inside is looking
really good too.

As
soon as we heard about this river gap Colin was amped to hit it...
before he even saw it. When we got there it was bigger than we thought.
Colin still chharged it with this turn down. The footage is pretty
wild, but you'll have to wait for the video to see that.
