Recent transplant Nixen Kohdi Osborne would definitely have been a contender, but fractured his shoulder coming out of an invert over the channel the night before the jam...

A few days before the event, CSA VP Brenden Wood came off his motorbike at 90 kmph. First thing he said when he came out of surgery on his arm was - 'I'm not missing Belco Bowl Jam!'

What a trooper.

Brad Timms gave me a call that we put over the PA so everyone could wave and say hi as he sat out on the boom arm his crane from a nearby worksite overlooking the bowl. Here's the view... @saint_bradrick

After the wheel raffle game, the Opens kicked off. Long time legend Barry Strachan from Wollongong has pretty much been to every Belco Bowl Jam since day dot. Layback grinding... what a legend!
