JOEY GOUGH - BMX Girl

Last Saturday I headed to Worcester with Tucker, Ross and Scoob for the 2008 Murray Jam. We weren't sure how much we would end up riding what with the amount of people going and the intimidation factor, but it sounded like fun anyway and for a great cause.

We got there about 12.30 and it was already heaving, the queue to ride was right back to the ramps. We all got straight on it while everyone else was getting used to the jumps aswell. The queue was quite long but you got to watch some amazing riding while standing in the queue. Martin Murray and the Fortes where so good to watch on the hipped lines, so flowy! I started with the roller line to warm up as doing one jump and queing up again made it difficult to get into things! After a couple of goes on that I switched to the 'farmers line' which starts with a triple. After a few goes I started to relax a little and enjoy it. Meanwhile Ross was trying every line possible.

It was great catch up with some ex-race people I haven't seen in a long time, like the Murray's, Scott Edgeworth, Toby Forte to name a few. It was a great day for a great cause, over £6000 was raised for the Stephen Murray Family Fund! Thanks so much to the Aliano's for letting everyone take over their backyard for the day and everyone else who organised the event.
