Thank you

The Australia wide BMX FOR FLOODS jam was a huge success. All around Australia bmx riders as well as the general public came out in full force to show support for the people of Queensland and to help them rebuild their shattered lives. To organize an event of this Australia wide proportion takes a great number of people on ground to get the job done. There have been so many people willing to help or to offer something that it just goes to show that people are willing to help others, it restores your faith in humanity. Without the support from the sponsors again the event would not have hit it in the way it did. We will slowly be compiling a list of people who have helped during the organizing and running which will be place on each of the events pages along with their official final donation tally.
At this stage I would personally like to thank and congratulate all the volunteers and the locations for pulling together and throwing down an awesome Australia wide event.
Shaun Jarvis

If you were to rock up before that time I’m sure you will still get into some of the action.Most of the jams will wrap up from 4pm onwards to 6pm. So many companies have donated so much product to the jams it total insane what will be on offer. Please check over each of the locations pages to get all the information.
