(2009-10 Highlights)
Get ready for the second event in ATP's signature Shred for the Cup Series - the Rail Jam.
This year - the crew is switching things up - thats right, this Rail Jam will be a true jam formatted event, with jam sessions for beginner, intermediate, advanced, and ladies.
The setup will be constructed on Candied Appal to allow for super quick laps while our DJ - Mr Overcash keeps the energy flowing. Look for a very trickable setup with lots of options for beginners through advanced.
The weather looks great again this weekend, so don't miss out. Even if you don't plan on competing, come out and chill at one of our designated spectator areas and watch the action go down.
Special Guest Judge Meg Pugh will be at the event this weekend as well, helping with the setup and checking out the scene down south.
