Today marks the one year anniversary of the BMX for FLOODS jam. Australia wide, 9 locations, one jam, one day.
The objective of BMX for FLOODS was to raise money for the Premiers disaster relief fund for the victims of the Queensland floods that happened in January 2011. The BMX for FLOODS jam was the brain child of Freestyle Now squad member Shaun Jarvis who wanted to organize something for the people affected by the floods. The national jam took in every state and territory around Australia with 9 locations. There is a long list of people who contributed to the organizing of the jams around Australia to make them so successful, so a big thankyou to everyone and anyone who was involved in the events. BMX for FLOODS rose just over $12500 from donations and the auctioning of product donated from companies. Check out the official website to see some of the information surrounding the national event.
While in Tasmania for the jam Shaun Jarvis did a video interview with the ABC. Click here for the link.
There are a few videos on line from many of the locations but the below video is from the Canberra BMX for FLOODS jam. A big thanks to the guys at Back Bone Bmx for hooking that one up.
