Saturday’s Waltham Skate Jam proved a hit in the local com­mu­nity with loads of fresh faces and up to 150 peo­ple out to jam on ‘Opti­mus Grind’ — the Skate Skool mobile skatepark.

Our vol­un­teers who ran the gear hire on the day were flat out with over 60 keen lil’ rip­pers hav­ing a go with the gear pro­vided. Some sweet tricks went down in the best trick comp from the 25 com­peti­tors who put their bod­ies on the line for prizes sup­plied by Cheap­skates and Skull­candy. Gnar trick of the day went to Brighton local Jor­dan Kidd, who hucked a ridicu­lous FS 360 Indy off the kicker launch­ing out over 4–5 metres!

Shout-outs to the Christchurch City Coun­cil, SPARC, and Sport Can­ter­bury for sup­port­ing the event, and also the Opawa Bap­tist Church for cook­ing up the free BBQ.
