What’s on in Melbourne Victoria – BMX Comp

Seriously, BMX in a nightclub, packed with a good crew? It doesn’t get any better!
“So we’re going to put a rail in Revolver and have a jam…” This was the line that received more than a few questions along the lines of ‘how are you going to fit that into Revolver?’ What eventuated was one of the most intense BMX rail sessions ever seen in Australia. Come August 22nd, we’re going to do it again!

Following on from the phenomenal success of Slay the Ramps in 2010, we’re upping the anté in 2011 with what is set to be the loosest rail jam ever seen in Australia; Slay the Rail Part 2. Bringing the streets into Melbourne’s nightlife – consider this your invitation!
Slay the Rail Part 2 will be above and beyond the usual competition or jam scenario. Limited to thirty of the biggest names in the Australian street scene. The rail jam is set to blow up inside one of Australia’s favourite clubs; Revolver Upstairs on Chapel Street, deep in the heart of Melbourne’s party district; Prahran.

This ‘one night only’ event will revolve around a head-to-head elimination session. Riders will pull a number out of a hat and then go head to head, with one rider claiming each 5 run session. Riders will be judged by their peers, with a show of hands at the end of each jam. Should there be a split or no-decision, a ‘one hit, no shit’ ride-off will take place. Riders will then be eliminated until we have two riders who will decide their fate with a 5-minute final jam, the winner claiming the Slay the Rail Part 2 crown and $1000, the runner up, $500. And like last year, the $10 entry fee will go to a winner takes all best trick as voted by the riders, 30 riders, $300, simple.
Held on the main room floor of Revolver, Slay the Rail Part 2 will be held on Monday 22nd August 2011 in the early evening with an all-night party to follow stretching through the main and front rooms. Like last year, the rail will be the focus, but we will be adding a Hubba ledge and bank to jersey at the end of the run-off to facilitate up-rail tricks.

Check the action from the 2010 event!
