I recently did an interview with the West Briton and the new issue (Falmouth and Penryn edition) features the pre jam news, how rad is that!!! They are also sending a reporter and photographer on the day. Big thank you to the West Briton, now go buy a copy its on page 6!!!

Rider Registration - Important Infomation

Yo, Ive posted this now as its important. All riders under the age of 18 will need to get a parent, guardian or responsible adult to sign thier registration form. Anyone wanting to enter over 18 can obviuosly sign for themselves. Like it or not its got to be done as part of the insurance for the day and without siging this disclaimer you will not be able to enter. Print of the form, get it filled in and bring it with you. Cheers.

Mount Hawke Easter Jam



The weekend just gone saw the return of the Easter Jam at Mount Hawke skatepark and it was of the chain!! So much good riding went down. I placed 4th in pro street and 3rd in Am jumpbox. In my street run i pulled a crokked grind down the big rail, super stoked! I've wanted it 4 awhile but never had the balls but the jam came and what better time 2 nail it! I also did wallride 2 bars over the channel. My 3 tricks over the box where a suicide, a barspin and a no foot can. Toby pulled his first x-up flip over the box, Mark flaired the vert, Ed nailed wallride 2 whip clean first go, Camborne Lee was on fire, with loads of whips everywhere. He 3 whipped the box, learnt whip drop ins on mini as well as whip 2 wallride on the wedge on the mini!! Colum Walsh came down 4 the jam and had some good tech skills on the mini, fuf 2 bars and super close 2 footjam 2 bars back in! How crazy is that. I was in charge of the vert comp and Simon Tabron owned it! His first air after dropping was higher than most riders get during there run, needless 2 say Si won vert. I was on the mike and qued up AC/DC's classic track back in black and requested the 900, it didnt happen but his 540 lookbacks rule. Tabron also does the cleanest brakeless flairs.

Simon Tabron, Toby Cresswell and Mark Theaker confirmed


I can confirm that Simon Tabron, Toby Cresswell and Mark Theaker will be attending the Love Metal Jam. How rad is that!!



You think this flip looks big, you should try riding the box, its huge! Toby can go big but also has the tech skills to go with it. He is by far one of the U.K's most underated riders and a treat 2 watch ride.


Mark Theaker with a invert at Mount Hawke, Mark has recently got flairs dialled. Props Mark.

Revolve Ramps, James Kahane is a Legend!!


James Kahane, from Kerrier Council who runs the Revolve Mobile Skatepark has not only been an absolute legend and done all the risk assessments 4 the jam but has donated a couple of prizes. He will also been providing me with the barriers and spare helmets on the day. James i cant thank u enough, cheers dude.
