The 3^rd Rail Snow Jam literally started with a dream.  Co-founder Pat Hession woke up from a nights doze and remembered clearly the event his mind had created.   In January of 2008, with over 4,000 people on site, the 3^rd Rail broke from dream to reality.  Mixing hardcore hip-hop music and art with insane riders, 3^rd Rail stepped into its own and produced a rail jam unlike any other.  From sick tricks to mosh pits, to bloodied lips from failed tricks, Pat’s dream is now a nightmare.
