REPO: A COVENTRY CONFRONTATION

The Coventry jam was the brainchild of Mute at P5. They’ve a few sessions all around the UK, each getting better with age, but this was the most amazing to date.

Arriving to a mass of clicking cassettes and loose chains, we started off at the transport museum, as it was an easy place to meet, before the sea of riders travelled across Cov’. Around 200 riders snaking through the streets was a good site to see.

The riding, as of any jam, was nuts. My favourite trick must have been 180 whips off the benches, followed by a crack addict security guard being shut down by 200 riders (many of whom have all had a beef with said security in there time). A nice irony.

The jam went well and with no injuries except for Jard Robbin. He looped out from a 13set no hander to a grazed up ass. He wont be reading this sitting down.

The next jam will be in Wolverhampton and will be the last of the year.
If this was anything to go by, we will be having a ‘mint sesh’.  - Ben Turner
