Skateboard Scotland are proud to announce the first ever all-weekend Scottish pro/am skate jam to be split across two of the country’s finest indoor skate parks. Anyone who experienced last year’s War of the Roses event in Bolton and Leeds should know what to expect – two days of solid skating, prize money and product, only this time with a distinctly Scottish twist.

Some dates for your diary…

25th of March
Unit23, Dumbarton

Best trick/run on:
-hubba ledge

-tombstone vert corner

26th of March

(The best trick/run obstacles may change on the day based on the decision of our esteemed MC, Bob Sanderson.)

There are cash prizes for the sponsored riders and skate products aplenty for the amateurs at both events. The rest of you can form an orderly mosh pit for the biggest product toss you’re likely to see in Scotland this year…
