Happy Australia Day!
We can now formally announce that Nike SB riders Lance Mountain, Chet Childress and Grant Taylor will be attending the Nike SB Belco Bowl Jam this February. Witnessing this level of skateboarding will be fantastic to see and can only add to what will already be an exciting atmosphere. There are now a number of Aussie and overseas riders confirmed as attending including Daniel Cardone, Jackson Pilz, Alan Young, Andrew Currie, Trev Ward and Corbin Harris. Stay tuned!
You heard it right, Belco Bowl Jam is back! Australia’s longest running bowl event with almost 10 years under its belt. 2010 marks the iconic Belco bowl’s 20th birthday and to celebrate that Nike SB has come on board as title sponsor. Be prepared to witness what a skateboard jam is all about,
no entry fee, no wristbands, no bullsh*t , just pure gnar.
Get ready to strap yourselves in for some solid Aussie grass roots skateboarding. No heats or finals, just cash prizes for
Lord of the Bowl, Best Run, Best Local, Longest Slide/Grind and a spiced up Best Trick Over the Channel which includes a Shifty’s Creature Feature obstacle.
Then stumble over to the Lighthouse after party to watch the infamous Lemvis (as Johnny Cash), Johno & the Trannies (re-united!), and the VeeBees as the headline act.
Nike SB Business manager Kerry Fisher had this to say, “Canberra skateboarding is the rawest in the country and has the most iconic bowl in Australia,
once we heard that the Belco Bowl Jam was on again we jumped at the opportunity to be involved and support this event. It really brings fun back to skateboarding, we aim to make this a great day for not only the skateboarders, but for all that come along to enjoy”
With a Bowl Jam like this we can expect to get a pool of talent from all over the world, there are already rumours flying of Lance Mountain, Chet Childress and Grant Taylor making the trip down!
