Harvest Jam 2018 All Ages Contest Coverage

Posted on Friday, October 19, 2018 by Chris

The last All Ages contest of the year is always the biggest, as we pay tribute to all you guys and girls that come out and help us kill it for the year. Jake Yanko is going bigger, Nash Barfield is skating like a boss, we had one of the best Girls Division turnouts ever, and our second 30+ division left everyone wanting more. Check out some highlights from the day.

Jake
A lot has changed in the past year at SPoT. One new sight is Jake Yanko flying around the course without his usual helmet. He might be blasting even higher than normal on this Alley Oop Tweaker…Crossbone? I really need to learn trick names…
Josh
The Bricks was serving up food as usual, and I was so hungry that I stole someones Veggie burger as soon as I had a break.
Tim
Think it might have been this guy's…Either way we both enjoyed them.
Noah
Our new Key Game seems to be a hit. You can win a deck for a dollar out of this thing!
The crew at Ultra Slappy Wax was here making sure we weren’t sticking on any of our grinds. Thanks guys!
Michelle
Michelle was heading up the Boards for Bros tent as usual.
