Vagabond OP12 Jan 2010
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!
Please watch this space with news of confirmed names.

monkz12 Jan 2010Ooooo! Jonnie and Tranno's reunion! Can't f*cking wait.
I have heard some things about the Shifty's 'Creature Feature' and it will make grown men cry green tears of fear and make me excrete glistening green pre-cum when it get's shralped.
Amazing flyer Andy. Sock and pocket flair colour match not a coincidence.

Vagabond12 Jan 2010Few riders off the top of my head that have indicated they're intending to come along:
Daniel Cardone, Jackson Pilz, Alan Young, Andrew Currie, Trev Ward, Corbin Harris, Sasha
I think Jesse Noonan and Biggie BSNB king Max Schubert too...
Rentos and Jimmy Beck may have to be ready for the vert event in Rio so maybe can't make it...
Some more overseas heads but I can't say just yet (of course)
So good to see this day back up and running. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it this year. If you have never been to it, you should get your arse there for the very best fun time you have ever had,even if your not into bowls/tranny.
Bring on captain America and the first lady!!!!!
Questions...
Who is behind this? Doesn't smell like the real deal...
Will there be hoards of cops?
K
krim12 Jan 2010"will there be hoards of cops?"
mmmm? no.... I can't remember there ever really being cops at belco, let alone hoards of them.
Vagabond will just need to send a fax to the Duty Officer of Belco Police Station and let them know whats happening and there should not be a problem.

Not really that dodgy though.
