Helena voters passed the Parks Bond. Serious coin, but we’re not all the way there yet.
Ryan Simonetti’s Wildstyle Skate Jam pits the top 20 skaters picked from an open qualifier to compete on the ominous Red Bull 10 stair for $1,500 in cash prizes & much more. For those who have hucked the Red Bull 10 stair before you know it’s no small feat so we’ve added a twist… newly built hubbas to both sides gives you rippers the opportunity to throw bigger & gnarlier tricks!
The Competition is complete with an open skate session/qualifier, official practice for the top 20 skaters, preliminary rounds, semi finals, and then a final throwdown with the top 5 skaters. Live music will be provided by DJ Bones, Allogy, and Eastern Sunz throughout the comp. Food & beverages will be available & a 21+ area for those of age. Cost is $5 for entry & kids under 4 free.
There will be prequalifying events at the Helena Skate Park & the Riverside Railyard Park. The winners of each of these competitions will receive a guaranteed entrance into the top 20 of the Wildstyle Skate Jam, their registration waved, & other killer prizes from participating sponsors.
Thanks to the many people who have made this happen; Ryan Simonetti, Chris Murphy, Brian Koenig (BNuggs), GVSA, Dem, Dave Goff, Tim of Red Bull, Sparky of Pabst, Simon of Big Sky Board Sports, Logan, the Jux Skate Company, the whole Gusto crew, Bonni Blue, Cory B, Montaqua Dave & many, many more! Let’s make this a great building event for the skate community of Montana!!!
