Morning Skate Jam at Box End Park & Cheeky Winch sesh at the Wier in the afternoon



Hi Everybody!





On a beautiful Sunday morning at Box End I really enjoyed the Skate Jam at 8am till 10am. Early, flat and sunny! A few of the riders weren't feeling too good that morning after having a few too many beverages the night before. ahaa. There was a fair few riders in the jam and it was good for the wakeskaters as it was just for us with prizes at the end for the most impressive riders pulling out new tricks. The best overall rider of the sesh was Louis Floyd pulling out his first fs 3 shuv and a killer back lip on a decent size box, with this great performance he won a weekend to Extreme Gene in Spain! Everyone was doing some nice tricks, fs bigspins, bs bigspins, 3 shuvs and kickflips, successfully I was one of those landing a kickflip, felt good! I also got a Nick Davies helmet for the best slam doing a nut cracker on the dragon slider, looked painful but felt like a slide to me. ahaa. Also so many variations on and off the box. So thanks again to Box End Park for respecting the wakeskaters we had a fantastic day!





After the morning sesh we got some food and chilaxed for a bit. Then me, my bro, Will, Zander and Harry went with Terry, Liam, Louis, Louis' little bro and Liam's girlfriend to the Oakley Wier not far from Box End. The Wier is a really good winch spot with a great scenery and it looks nice and clean. So it kicked off as soon as we got there with Terry's winch set up and some of the guys getting ready, we split up into to groups so people aren't standing around getting cold. Louis, Will, Harry and Zander are first up, Louis leading the way starting of with a 180 down it and the others getting use to the drop ollie's down it then Will and Zander stepping it up with Zander getting close to a shuv down it and will going for a fs 360, both so close. Next up busting out a fs bigspin down it was Louis, It was so sick!



The next group was Terry, Liam, me and Louis had a few more goes. These guys were going straight out trying 3 shuvs and bigspins down it. When it came to my turn I was a little excited for it being my first winch spot, so I did an ollie down it then trying to step it up with 3 shuvs. It was really good fun and can't wait to go again with these guys!



Thanks a lot Terry, Liam and Louis for bringing us for this great sesh!
