O.G. Jam Series - Stop #2

Bennett Harada
Stop #2 of the 2015 Old Guys Jam Series was this Saturday. It was held at The Cove Skatepark in Santa Monica, CA. As the series' name implies, these are contests for the old guys, ages 30 and over. Each stop is broken down into a couple age divisions: 30 - 39, 40 - 44, 45 - 49, and 50 & Over. It's a pro-am contest that's free to enter, with skate legends like Eric Dressen and Micke Alba competing. There's also an open Girls Division too.

Skateboarding Scenes From Old Movies: Custodio De Señoras

A really horrible skateboarding scene from a 1979 Argentine comedy called Custodio De Señoras. Even though the poster for for film featured the two main characters riding this custom (silly) skateboard that has 36 wheels on 18 trucks, there is only this one skateboarding scene in the whole movie.

2015 Jay Boy Classic

UPDATED 6-3-2015: Videos of the contest are now online: Jay Boy Classic Videos

The 2nd annual Jay Boy Classic was held on May 23rd 2015 at the Venice Skate Park. Hosted once again by Z-flex Skateboards, the Jay Boy Classic featured 3 events. First was an amateur bowl jam where skaters in 3 different age groups competed for over $2,000 in products, then a Masters Jam that featured skate legends such as Dave Hackett, Steve Olsen, Steve (Salba) Alba, Tony Magnusson, and Pat Ngoho. And wrapping up the day was the Invitational Cash Grab, where there was a list of tricks posted up, each worth a cash prize. Who ever was the first do a trick, or the highest or longest for some tricks, took that trick's cash. Basically an exciting free for all, as there was several skaters riding the bowl at the same time trying to be the first to claim the cash. Also up for grabs was the Osiris Shoes ‘Spirit of Jay Award’, a custom guitar from Prisma Guitars.
