Tons of thanks to all of our sponsors: Animal, EmpireBMX, Odyssey, Manmade, Pegleg, DK, Duo, Verde, Eastern, Shadow Conspiracy, SubRosa, Profile, Madera, Nike6.0, Fender, DigBMX Magazine, United, UGP, Deco, Sputnic, & Hardcore Sportz. Special thanks to the Charlotte/Mecklenburg Parks & Recreation and the Grayson Skatepark for hosting the event.

The most thanks of all goes to all the riders, spectators, and friends who came out to the event and donated all the cash that will help Daulton and his family so very much. You folks showed me again why bmx is the most awesome sport out there.

More photos this week as I round everyones shots up together for an album. Also I am almost ready to post the auctions for the remaining nike6.0 shoes and the Fender amp donated by Adam Banton and Leigh Ramsdell.

The Daulton Jones Benefit BMX Jam yesterday was a complete success. A great turnout, perfect weather, and lots of awesome bmx going down. I am completely exhausted and have tons of info, photos, and more to report on the entire weekend over the next day or so.

We raised over $1300 which went straight to the Jones family to help with the tremendous costs associated with Daulton’s care. Daulton, Phil and his family were completely overwhelmed and it was great to see Daulton and he be able to spend the afternoon watching everyone ride. There was a long jump contest, highest air, 2 rounds of footdown in the bowl, and a best trick contest, along with tons of raffles and giveaways. It was an amazing fun day for all in attendance.

There’s also a Fender Guitar amp donated to the cause that will be on Ebay shortly, along with two special edition pairs of Nike6.0 shoes, all proceeds to the Jones family again. More on that here in the next few days. Also, for those who couldn’t make it but would still like to donate, a Paypal donation account is in the works for continuous giving.

Hats off to all the hard work put in by Zach Rogers, BJ Wolfe, Karl Poynter and the Hardcore Sportz crew, Leigh Ramsdell and Adam Banton, Nik Pawlak, and shouts to everyone who came out and supported the event.

Heres a photo i lifted from the Hardcore Sportz website HardcoreSportz.com. More to come. This is HS team member Andy Sizemore at the event.
