'N' JaM
Benalla College VCAL students probably didn't fully realise what they were starting when, in 2007, they had a brain wave - a skate, BMX and scooter competition at Benalla' s skate ramp organised by VCAL students as part of their personal development subject. And so, with their teachers' support and enthusiasm, it was a hit in 2007 and this year, on Saturday 25 October, coinciding with the Lakeside Market, it was even bigger with prizes including two BMX bikes, a skate board and plenty of generous sponsorship giveaways for the big turnout of entrants who came to test their skills.
The event was supported by Benalla Rural City Advance Funding and YMCA.

The young ones kicked off first with
the 13 & Under Scooter Jam
Brendon Smith won the 13 & Over
Scooter Jam
   
Open Skate winner Josh Hill impressed the judges
with this performance on the flat bar
Cody Taylor was the clear winner in the
battle for the 15 & Under BMX titile
   

Sam Waite had been practising hard for the
15 - 18 BMX event
. . . and Sam's two perfect back flips earned him
first prize
 
Benalla's renowned BMX freestyler, Cam Pianta,
took part despite injured ribs
. . . and Cam didn't let the spectators down!
   

Damian Johnson pitted his skills
against Cam in Open BMX

. . . and Damian's trademark tricks
impressed the judges
   
Jake Havlicek, arch-rival and great friend of
Cam Pianta, was tipped to take second place
. . . but Jake won the event with 120 points,
beating Cam by just 4 points
