BY RICK | JULY 11 2010 | 3

[gallery link="file" order="DESC"] Well it's Sunday night and it's all over. The 2010 Burton Cattleman's Rail Jam was a smash. Some big tricks, some never seen before tricks, and a new winner. By now you probably already know who won, but just in case here we go again. First place went to Tom Pelley with tricks like a backside 270 on, 270 off, an onslaught of 'twizels' including a never seen before gap-to 50-50 frontside 'twizel'. Tom was pushing to the very end and dislocated his shoulder on his last attempt. Second place went to the winner of the past two Cattleman's events, Robbie Walker. Robbie was his ever consistent self and got the crowd into it early with a backflip down the stairs. Matt Sedunary claimed best trick with an impressive inward 270 board slide on the centre rail. The first 4 photos are thanks to Andrew Bibby and rest are Kit Rundle's. Thanks. ###
