First Tyne Tees Slam Jam done and dusted. Ridiculous hammers, mad skills and 1 very gnarly slam. I hope the dude gets better soon.
Just wanted to give a MASSIVE shout out to 4Motion Darlington for the awesome grub and facilities. Its rad that we have a place to do jams likle this and we’re very grateful for the opportunity and support for this and future events.
I also want to thank the core skate shops who backed this jam. Namely:
Legacy Skatestore
Native Skate Store
Popcorn Skate
All those at the end saw the insane swag bag of prizes. This whole event would not have been possible without them. Honestly, massive thank you to these shops. They keep us all rolling and deserve our support. on behalf of everyone today, THANK YOU!!
Also, to everyone that helped out with the coaching session, filming/photography, catering, holding down the office, keeping the place organized and helping getting the park ready; thank you very much. It’s awesome when there are people doing a smashing job on everything else, so we could just skate!
Lastly, to everyone that turned up, thanks for just being there. Its good to see faces old and new still taking slams with a smile, getting right back up and giving it another go. Really chuffed everyone got stuck in. Made it a really sick Jam and I’m personally stoked on it!!
We’ll keep you up to date with what we have in store next but in the mean time, thanks for being awesome and if there’s anything we could have done better, just let us know and we’ll be sure to smash it next time.
Thanks again to the park staff, the peeps behind the lens, the skaters and the shops!
Job well done to everyone involved!!
Stay Rad!
