Title: SlammJamm IX
Description: So the word is out and all have been told “the Gathering is Near” (Check the preflyer). Once again Rampworx Skatepark ( www.rampworx.com ) plays host to one of the UK’s premier rolling events SLAMM JAMM IX. This will be the 9th year that the jamm has taken place and like every year it promise’s to be a great gathering of the UK’s rolling community. One session out of many around the UK and beyond that is based on community rather than competition. That’s what Slamm Jamm is all about, sessioning, partying, rolling, the tight to the XXL, the new breeds to the established, the hammers to the top souls, conversation and development, all under one roof as “ONE”. This years Slamm Jamm will take place on Friday 19th Oct and Sat 20th Oct. There will be as last year a late session on the evening of Friday and a full day session on Sat. Look out for the official flyer dropping in the shops, on a site and generally everywhere soon. Also stay tuned for the run down of who’s supporting the event and the schedule. Also you can check out Rampworx website over the next few weeks for more news and updates.   Friday 19h OCT 2007 The Friday Evening session will start from 6pm till 12 midnight and will have a door tax of £8.00 for the whole session (there will be a saver pass option for the weekend also). This session as last year will include the ”Battle Royale “, road to WINTERCLASH08. For those that don’t know I developed the Battle Royale jam 2 years back with EmpireUK to find a worthy UK Am roller to send to the Hoedown in 05. The roller that won that year was Nick Lomax(Promax)who has had an amazing session since. (Check out theconference/Ucon and Ukskate). Last year 06 saw the man Steve Swain (Shifty/Ukskate) take the prize.This year to celebrate 10yrs strong Rampworx will be sponsoring the session enabling another AM roller to session the Winterclash experience. So the Battle session is an open one on one knock out jam with only the best surviving. This year like last year that one survivor will win a place on the Road trip to Winterclash08 in Germany. If you don’t know what Winterclash is lets just say it’s “Europe’s finest rolling event” ( www.winterclash.com ). The Battle is open to those UK Ams that feel there skills are high grade and can step it up. By UK Ams I mean those without major sponsorship or a budget backer in the industry. There will be however limited slots available as time is always a factor, but if you know of a local switch up kid, or up & coming creative hammer then this is a great spotlight event. I’ll be taking names from when the session opens to fill the slots, if your coming to the Jamm and want to make yourself heard or nominate your local hero then hit me up with an email. Saturday 20th OCT 2007 On to the Saturday, the park opens 11am till 7pm and will have a door tax of £13.00 . As per usual there will be the abstract off the cuff win goodie sessions all day long from the sponsors. Plus the King and Queen of the Slamm session, which is firmly locked in Slamm Jamm history now. As last year there will be the [rolling for rolling sakes and not the cash stakes] “Slamm Down “ roller award. This is basically the people’s choice/vote to the roller they feel killed and rinsed the whole session at Slamm Jamm IX. After all that malarkey there is of course the AFTERPARTY ******. 18s and over I’m afraid and taking place in a cool city centre venue’s. You’ll have to be at the jamm to find out more??????
