Stoked Skate Jam- Sunday 5th September 2004 @ Dimensions, Burslem, S-O-T.

 

A great turn out, this jam, considering the weather, as per for an indoor event, was red hot!! Typical!!

We had around 200 turn up and the skating was the usual madness!!

Great to see a few lads from Stockport, turn up and enjoy the jam- they were very impressed and I'm sure they made some good friends and got 'big respect' 'cause a couple of 'em absolutely RIPPED!! Ben Ledwich and Ash Stanton took the 'best trick' hour by storm.

Jed Coldwell- f/s lip.
Ash Stanton- f/s feeble. Jed Coldwell- f/s smith.
Ben Fantauzzo- boneless!!

Some wicked stuff went down on the main driveway. Rich Bowden was trying pop-shuv 5-0's down the rail, Tander was trying massive 360 flips over and Si Davies was almost nailing kickflip frontside tailblunts down the rail!! Great to see (not so little) Kev Purcell back at the jams after his brief spell off his board and then getting over an ankle ligament injury. He was having his kickflip lips- super fast, 5-0's and nailed a lipslide all the way along and down the rail!

Also, great to see Matthew Stanton at one of our jams. Hadn't seen him since back at a Hanley Park skate festival about two years back. He ripped then- and he's improved loads. Massive hardflips off the hip, 360 flip to flat and a huge backside 180 to flat!!

Ben Fantauzzo treated to some of his mad boneless skills, Mark Hall landed a sweet switch f/s feeble down the rail and Jed Coldwell ripped it up with f/s lip f/s smith, f/s 5-0, f/s tailslide and almost nailing f/s pop-shuv to boardslide!!

Ben Ledwich landed some wicked stuff- krooks down the rail, 360 flip to flat, f/s lipslide, f/s smith and a kickflip to b/s boardslide!! It was his mate though that stole the show!! Ash Stanton (remember where you saw him first!!) nailed an array of tricks with loads of style. Try- f/s feeble, f/s nollie lip, nollie f/s smith, f/s 5-0 the whole rail and an amazing f/s 5-0 the flat rail to tailslide down it- fakie out!! A worthy winner of the new deck supplied by Drew at Dazed (Cheers mate!!).

A massive thanks goes to all who came and skated and enjoyed the day, Rob and all the DJ's, all the volunteers that helped set up and put away, Drew at Dazed for the proddy, Eastpak and the Extreme Channel.
