Conehead Cup 2007, Race 1, Cam's Jam

[Bugs]

The 2007 Conehead Cup kicked off in great style with 29 riders from around Australia making it a truly national event.

It was a tough course, with plenty of riders spraying cones everywhere, but Haggy Strom was able to pip Steve Daddow with his last run of the day, despite suffering from the flu.

After the slalom a wild variety of events took place - luge, hill bombing, and the crowd favourite - high jump.

But the event underlying all others was the 40th birthday celebration for Sydney skater Cam Ward. Happy birthday Cam, and let's hope the Cam Jam becomes an annual event.
