The first event of the 2011 Cheap­skates Skate Skool series kicked off on Sun­day with the Jel­lie Park Skate Jam. Despite the crappy weather, the crowd of around 300 were amped to be there. The lay­out of the park proved inter­est­ing and the direc­tion of flow cre­ated a ‘Wood­ford Glen style’ derby feel with over 100 skaters rip­ping around the park luck­ily with­out too much carnage.

The free BBQ was a hit and free board hire gave those with­out wheels a chance to give it a go with help from the Skate Skool crew. The Brighton ‘Locals Only’ crew were on form as usual and took away half the prizes with some burly tricks and big airs. North Island ABC rider Brad Chris­tensen killed it in the best trick comp with a hard flip from the top of the 1/4 to the flat earn­ing him 1st place in the 16 & Unders.

Lin­wood rip­per (and James Kingston’s pro­tege) — Ariki Kingi stepped up to com­pete with the big boys and took out the 13 & Unders—and he’s only 10! The heavy hit­ters threw down some gnarly tricks in the open divi­sion with local skater/snowboarder Cia­ran Dollin huck­ing a BS 360 melon straight off the slopes.

Cheers to all that came down and those that helped make it happen.

This event was proudly sup­ported by the Fendalton/Waimairi Com­mu­nity Board and spon­sored by Cheap­skates, Skull­candy, The Christchurch City Coun­cil, SPARC, Sport Can­ter­bury and Hellers for the sausages.
