Like I said yesterday, Instagram and also twitter were going off with updates on the 2012 Voodoo pre jam. Besides the shot I posted already Terry took, fellow instagrammer Josh Weiss posted some great shots of the jam. I hit him up and asked if it would be cool to feature his photographs on the site, Josh sent me a ton of photos, so i’ve picked out a few, others may appear at a later date. In related news, Ross Smith showed up at the Pre-jam yesterday, much to the delight of every flatland fan out there, check the photo! Good vibes in New Orleans! Good luck to all those competing today!
Between 50-60 riders made it out to the pre-jam yesterday.

Great documentary of two athletes who work for Chain Reaction Cycles. Of flatland interest, Pete Hollinger’s section runs from 1:01 to 7:56. Great interview and insight into his worklife, how he got into riding, practise rituals, competing, etc, definitely well worth a watch!
Navid just got on Humör clothing, so check out his welcome to Humör clothing edit right here! Congrats Navid!

Jean-Francois Boulianne (featured in the above shot) has been in New Orleans all week getting ready for the Voodoo Jam. Tonight I was lucky enough to get a live Skype feed to the jam by Scott O’Brien, and catch up briefly with a few heads. Scott reported there were about 50-60 riders in attendance with more expected tomorrow for the big day down at the Generations Hall! There have been a whole bunch of awesome shots all over instagram tonight, but this one seemed to sum up the pre-jam best for me. Hold tight for a whole bunch of updates throughout the weekend and next week!
The Voodoo Jam starts today with the pre-jam, so not why take a look at a past Voodoo pre jam, take this one from 2008! Banging edit from Erik Otto right here featuring Dominik Nekolny, Yohei Ucchie Uchino, York Uno, Hiroya Morisaki, Terry Adams, Sam Foakes and many more.
Bmxism aka Trevor Lacey is putting on a flatland jam down in sunny Brighton! The dates are 7/8th July! Hope to see some of you there!!
