October means Halloween, and Halloween means its time for a knees up at The Boarding School. We usually have a jam for halloween, but we missed our Birthday comp this year so we're rolling all that over to this event too, double bubble!
(To hear about the pop up skatepark scroll to the bottom)
They'll be the standard best fancy dress comp, as well as a girl's only, youngerz and olderz comp with timed runs. Treats for tricks will run all night, and later we'll throw some best trick jams on some of our special, spooky features like:
The 'Tombstone of Terror,' making its return appearance. This 2 foot extension turns our biggest ramp into a vert monster;
New for 2023 is 'The Bridge of Death,' running between our smaller quarters, this 3ft rail will test your nerve as the ramp falls away to nothing and only the coping sits between you and sure doom.
We'll kick things off with the Girl's only comp runs at 4:30pm - 6pm with the open comps following around 6:30pm. Everyone is welcome to stay and skate till 9pm! check back here for the pics and clips soon, but in the meantime here's a clip of the Bridge of Death in action and a special pre competition, competition!
And the pre comp, comp is... Can you name the skater that's inspired my fancy dress? Email answers to theboardingschoolsk8@gmail.com for a chance to win a goody bag. Winner announced at the halloween jam.
