Jam is smarter than he lets on, but still tends to get carried away when it comes to showing off. When it comes to snowboarding, he calls himself the "Master Trickster," despite the public belief that Nancy is better. For this reason, they share a friendly rivalry. He is best friends with Slash, and the two are often seen as the biggest source of trouble in Snow Town, especially for Linda.

James is a national rap battle champion who is in constant search of the latest trends for the purpose of bolstering his ego. No matter what he is doing at the time, he goes all out to impress others. In fact, his only reason for entering the tournament is to prove himself to be the coolest. Obviously, Jam thinks highly of himself, but does not care much for the other competitors.
