HogJam – Bristol’s finest Bmx / rave / hog roast event

Posted on 08 April 2010 by Fran Pearce

Last Month, Motion Skatepark in Bristol hosted a one of a kind event entitled “HogJam”. The one day event included A BMX jam including pro and amateur competitions, live graffiti, B-boys and DJ sets all day and night, not to mention a mouth watering Hog Roast!!

Our lovely Fran caught up with Mitch Yeates, who was the main instigator and chief organiser of HogJam.

How long have you been organizing Hogjam for?

I started organizing HogJam at the start of the month, a pretty tight deadline but we had the date set as it was Tom’s birthday. Which was also the inspiration for the name Hogjam.

How did you think the day went?

It went well, I was pleased with the turn out especially as it was my first event. I think the lack of time was a big issue in putting the event together not only for planning the event but also in letting people know it was happening. It was a great great learning experience and there a lot of things I feel I can do better next time.

What’s your background bike wise?

I’ve been riding BMX for about 10 years now. In 2005 I joined Simple BMX and I also ride for Duffs.

What are your plans for the future and hogfest?

We are holding the NASS Pre party at Motion so i will run a bmx contest on that day but it will probably have a new name.

To keep track of future events or to get in touch with Mitch, head on over to Motion Skatepark site
