Halloween Jam ’09

Andrew and Boudreau in costume
Despite a forecast of terrible weather, the Halloween Jam took place as it always has and always will. The turnout wasn’t as great as previous years, partly because of the weather and partly because most of Ottawa’s scene thinks they’re too hardcore to have fun anymore. The Jam had some great costumes, including Karl Oxinnuzzen’s ‘Greased Up Deaf Guy’ outfit, Boudreau’s Bill Clinton outfit, and Rich’s homemade Predator costume. There were also on the other hand, a bunch of people who showed up without a costume… who does that? Its a halloween jam… show up with a costume, or don’t bother coming at all.
Regardless of the moderate levels of suck, there was a high level of awesome. Watching Karl do greased up tailwhips, having a couple of epic games of foot down in the bowl, and a monster truck rally where we had to ride our bikes over a pile of other bikes, each time a person was unable to make it over a pile and got stuck, their bike stayed in the pile, making it harder to get through… all of which made this year’s halloween jam a success.

Pretty much everyone got some sort of prize. We didn’t have a 180 contest this year due to high winds, so all the prizes were given out for foot down, monster truck and costumes. Big thanks to TenPack for hooking us up on that front. They’re always pretty good to us, we had a bunch of parts, soft goods, videos, sadly though we didn’t get a copy of ten pack’s evolution DVD to hand out…

It was a nice change of pace to have the jam during the day, usually we do it at night and freeze our asses off. The sun actually made an appearance as you can see in the pictures, and we had pretty mild temperatures all afternoon. Although as nice as it was, Karl was still the coldest guy around and covered in vaseline to boot.

Little Matt Comeau was the best at dodging in those games of footdown.
I also witnessed Jeff just straight up spear Andrew with his leg and send him OTB.
