GoJaMMedia Expands with Cinematography Services

Almost two months to the day, we were stoked to announce the formation of GoJaMMedia. And today.... we are pleased to announce we continue to grow and are "partnering" with ZfH Productions/Zach Heaton (www.zfhproductions.com) to offer professional cinematography to the masses. Take a look at some of Zach's work, it's totally worth a couple minutes of your day.
 
So whether you are hitting the tarmac at 200mph on four wheels at a race course or bombing the gnarliest DH trails at 45 mph on two wheels, we've got it covered. If we can help you out in any way, please let us know. Thanks for your time and consideration. We'll see you out there!

2013 Icycle Race Report By GoJamMedia

Rain, Sleet, Snow, Ice? No Problem…. It’s Icycle 2013

With some of the strangest swings in the weather the country has experienced since records have been kept, January 2013 wouldn’t be any different. Leading into the weekend (Thursday/Friday), the entire Carolina weather map was blanketed with the color pink. What would that mean for the weekend? Well for the racer on two wheels, nothing really….. it’s racing, regardless of conditions. That’s kinda the whole point. This race isn’t called Icycle just cause it’s a cool name. Getting there on four wheels with your gear and two wheels either a twenty minute or a two hour drive would be the challenge. Social media offered a means documenting the brave souls that attempted the drive to Fontana Lake, North Carolina on Friday afternoon. Between the million or so questions of “How were the roads”, I’d also be willing to bet that everyone had their eyes on the forecast and the weather man for what morning road conditions were to be. Personally, I was glued to the tube.  As expected, even local news took every opportunity to sensationalize a whole bunch of precip. All one heard as “Breaking News” was cars off the highway every which way but straight.

Get up early, or leave late? That was the decision race morning. With the temp hovering right around freezing and the kickoff of the Beginner and Sport XC classes at 1100, most didn’t have a choice. Let’s Roll! Thankfully the sun showed its face and kept the ice on the thaw. Can’t say I saw one idiot putting their car off into the median or into a tree and just minor ice in the three hours of driving it took to get out to Fontana Resort.

1100 was the start of a long day of BRRR!, bikes, and buds! It began with a mad dash to your bike with the Sport Class followed by a two minute split for the beginners/bike big class with the same sprint. Rounding the first seven miles in Sport it was Tyler Gay with Jay Fesperman literally right on his heels. Looks like we have a real XC Race Fellas! By the end of the final lap (lap two) it would be Jay over Tyler by 7 secs. Full Sport and Beginner Results are at the end of the report.

1300 started the second round of racing with the Elite and those that enjoy self-induced pain, the Single Speeders. Remember the mention of the temps hold just at or above freezing? Well, fast forward two hours to the mid-day festivities and Icycle should have temporarily been named Mudicle. Yes, messy it was! Out of 16 Pros each covered in mud, it would be Brian Sheedy over Cody Philips by just about 2.5 minutes. The Pro Women ended their three laps with Erica Zaveta with an impressive 30 min lead over Nicole Miranda.

Now moving on to what Icycle is really created its reputation on, the night sky, with snow, ice and whatever else mama nature can throw at you with only a min of 10 watts lighting your way..... the Nighttime Downhill. This is what brought 73 entries and why this has become such a classic event. 1500 meant the first shuttle was running with 4 hours of practice (really just waiting on the bright shiny sun to dip below the ridgeline). As the sun left us, so did the warm temps. The bonfires fired up as spectators and riders waited for the 5 classes to post their best time in the night. The Elite Men would fall with Ryan Taylor taking the top sport with just under a second over second place Jon Tumas and 3 seconds over Trey Cassell rounding out the podium in third.

Yeah, it pretty damn chilly by the end of the long 10 hour day on course, my toes were frozen and I was tired. But I am telling you this is a MUST DO EVENT, such a blast!!!! It’s marked on my calendar for 2014 and I suggest you do the same. See you all next year!

Thanks to Chris Herndon, James Chaput, Danny Cesare and all those others involved that will remain unnamed to protect the guilty. Also a shout out to all the sponsors, Cane Creek, Industry Nine, Specialized, Suspension Experts, Oskar Blues Brewery, Sycamore Cycles, Fontana Village.

2013 WIndrock Round 1 Race Report By GoJamMedia

Winter time is typically the time for either the dust to collect on your downhill gear, train in prep for the coming season, or hit the slopes with the board or skis. Hogwash! How about a two race series in one of the nastiest sets of trails in the SE? Why you ask? Why-a-not? In Windrock, TN there’s a core group of riders that come together almost every weekend and this would be the bunch that would answer the previous question with, “Because we can!” With a focus on keeping it “Grass Roots”, the trail of choice for round one would be Snakerock Trail with a slight twist making use of a section of Bedrock. Now Snakerock is probably the most tame trail that Windrock has to offer stretching about a mile over 959 feet of elevation, but it really never lets up. It constantly keeps you on your toes never giving you a second to relax…….. it really is what Downhill is supposed to be like.

Leading up the race the entire Southeast region went through three days of constant rain followed up by a about a half day of snow. Most expected trail conditions to be nothing but a mix of peanut butter and soup, but surprising other than the short stint on Bedrock into the natural drain of the valley, it was just about perfect. Not too dry with about 85 to 90% of the trail tacky like you want it. Mornings were a tad on the chilly side, it is Winter, but no signs of powder to be found, clear blue skys and temps in the mid to upper forty for two day’s worth of riding is really the perfect formula for an awesome race weekend.

Staying true to the concept of keeping it real, the crew decided to keep it to just two classes for the 30 riders that showed up. Not a big turnout you say, no matter, that was EXACTLY what the crew wanted. Low key, Grass Roots and lots of fun. Lining up was totally up to the riders, though most of the Open (Pro) class did choose to wait til the end of the pack. 29 Amateurs would lay down the best they could. In the end it was 3. Chris Fisher, 2. Jerry Mailloux and 1. Wes Childers. The Open class would come down to a battle two east coasters and one surprise west coaster attending school in KY. Kyle Grau (EC), JD Swaguen (WC), and Jay Fesperman (EC). Kyle ended up just missing Jay Fesperman's time by 0.7 sec and it would be JD taking the top spot by an impressive 13.2 sec over Fesperman (suffering from a crash on Bedrock) with a time of 3:33.60. There is no doubt for the final race in the Windrock Winter Series, the east coasters will be anxious to take the crown back from JD Swaguen.

Alex Ohman on his first event, “Our first event went really well. We had some beautiful weather with some world class competition and the racers laid down some FAST times. The weekend started out a little on the muddy side, but you can’t ask for a better race day than what we got. Everybody’s out here smiling and I don’t see anybody with anything less than a grin on their face. I couldn’t be happier!”

Next up for Alex Ohman and the crew? Back in a month for the last race of the series on February 17. And if you are going to come, bring your balls and your fitness as racers are in store for a treat…… a full run from the top of the world to the bottom, down Windmill trail. 1500+ feet of elevation, 2-ish miles of track, equals about a 10 minute ride (it’s not yet on Strava). A LONG RACE COURSE for sure!

Thanks to Clealan Watts for the shuttle, Alex Ohman for putting the effort forth to see this event come to life with some support the boys at the Trials Training Center (TTC) and lastly the event sponsors, Billy Goat Bikes and Red House Bikes. See you back in a month for the second and last race in the series on Feb 17.
