Freestyler's....it's that time again. First weekend after new year's, kickoff to the New Year, kickoff to start training for the World Round Up, whatever you wanna call it, it's the January Jam. Held every January, this is a loosely-organized fun meet-up-and-skate day....where we crash Bixby Park and have fun sharing our Freestyle skills with the local skaters, park goers, whoever happens to be walking by. | |||
As always, The Jan-Jam will be at Bixby Park (aka Cherry Park) in Long Beach. They've placed more obstacles on the street skate plaza area but hopefully we can take over that super flat Volleyball court area again. Bring yourselves, a friend, a skater, a non-skater, anyone interested in watching. I'll have some snacks, beverages, and a kickass boombox. You bring the tricks! This is an open-invite to any and all freestyle skaters local to L.A. and anyone who happens to be passing through. If you can make it from near or far, definitely put it on your calendar. | |||
Special invite to old legendary pros....That means Russ Howell, Rey Meyer, Primo Desiderio, Per Welinder, Richy Carrasco, Gary Holl, Pierre Andre, Andre Walton, John Pope,Rodney Mullen (sure he's invited why not!) etc. Anyone who knows them, please send them this event's link. | |||
This year is a special JanJam as we may possibly see Russ Howell there. Bixby Park is sacred ground for Russ, as he grew up down the street from Bixby and skated there for a good while perfecting his handstands and spins! | |||
Should the Farmers market get in our way again, they're done by about 2:30 and we have a variety of flat areas in the park to skate.....the skate plaza itself, the rec center area or our big favorite, the ultra flat volleyball court. Keep your eye out for freestyle tricks and you'll find us. This year we'll even hand out a few prizes for best combo, and coolest trick! | |||
If you've been invited and you live far far away, just know that we'd dig it if you were here but we understand. We just wanna keep you in the loop about what we're doing here in SoCal, and hope you'll spread the word. | |||
Come skate from noon-dusk....chat and catch up. We'll have a freestyle game of skate, take some photos, shoot some vids, and have some fun. No time limit runs here! Let me know if you can make it. Even if you can't....click maybe and help spread the word. Keep freestyle going....with California's ONLY unofficial official annual freestyle skate jam! | |||
