The Washout Jam has been replaced.

This is how things went down.

I had the Washout jam all set up. We had an awesome spot in the Pasadena wash. The spot was complete with a pyramid, drop, quarter pipe, hip, sub-box, etc.Up top we had a really technical pump track, and down the road some awesome trails.

Unfortunately, we went to the wash about a week a go to find that the cops locked everything up super tight, cut down trees so they can get back to the pump-track area,and posted signs EVERYWHERE warning us to stay out and that it was now Pasadena CityPolice property.

So to be honest, I didn't want to hold the jam there anymore. I talked to the owner of Atomlab while testing the new G.I. fork about moving the event somewhere else.We talked about the new park in Santa Clarita, some nearby trails, Woodward west, etc.Nothing seemed to be panning out.

Then, out of nowhere I get a call from Rick Nolte. He suggested that we move the Jam down to San Diego to the famous "Home Ave. Ditch. With a twist of irony, Home Ave.is also a wash. There is a killer park, and trails nearby. So it was settled.The Washout Jam was to be replaced.

Want more irony? Rick informed me that last year there was a Jam planned, but then Mike from Atomlab set up the Woodward Super Session on the same day.That fell through, and the original Jam was "replaced". At the Home Ave. Ditch.So it looks as though the "Replacement Jam" is here to stay!
