Last weekend Ben was at a fundraiser in Montreal. He sent us a quick story on the event along with some rad pictures taken by Rich Redmond.  Make sure to check out the links as well. Here is the lowdown:

A few traveling Riders from B.C.  held a Benefit Jam this weekend in Montreal at UAB Skatepark. The Jam was to Raise money for Stu Timms, a rider  from Australia, that had a bad accident on December 11th, 2009. Stu was at the beach and went to dive into the water and encountered a very common danger when he dove head first into a sandbar. Sadly he has suffered a spinal crush fracture at C5 level and has been paralysed from the shoulders down. The Jam was to raise money for Stu and his family. The Jam was super fun and raised a bit of money for the downed rider. There was a best trick over the box jump contest, a best tech trick contest, and a bunny hop contest. Some Crazy Riding went down. One of the best events I’ve been to in a long time. Stay Strong Stu! Here are some photos by Rich Redmond. And More Photos at www.benkaufmann.blogspot.com.

Check out a video of Stu on Transworld.net. Here is a place to see updates about Stu.
