Old Man Bowl Jam 2024 Coverage

Posted on Monday, February 19, 2024 by Matt Shail

The Old Man Bowl Jam is the ultimate showdown for the legends of skateboarding – think Tampa Pro but for the seasoned warriors who need tiger balm to get out of bed in the morning. This bash is reserved for those aged 30+. Expect the beer to be flowing and sizzling BBQ on the sidelines, while Kyle Randall takes over as MC and lays down the gauntlet for the Longest Boardslide Award from behind the mic. Gear up and drop into the SPoT Bowl to prove that you have what it takes to be the Oldest Old Man

Kyle
Welcome to the Old Man Bowl Jam, where the knees crack all day and the beards flow like beer. We are gathered here today to bid farewell to the cartilage that is still left between those crusty old joints. Oh look there’s two old guys in their natural habitat. Say hello to Chris Miller (not that one) and Kyle Randall, your organizer and Emcee.
