Oh yeah -- it's on! Time for a Jam at our fave spot in Huntington Beach -- Edison Park.

Not only is it Go Skateboarding Day and Father's Day -- but Sk8Kings is also welcoming the official start of summer too! We're expecting the local allstars, friends, family & more. Come join the fun.

Should be a good turn out and a good time.

Cheers!

Our good friends at Sk8Trip -- Chris Chaput and crew -- are coming down from the Meet Up Skate at Huntington boardwalk. We're stoked they are bringing the group to the jam after the Meet Up for some lunch and more skating!

Here's the link for the Meet Up: http://www.hbmeetup.com/calendar/10548436/?eventId=10548436&action=detail

The more the merrier and it should be a great turnout for Go Skateboarding Day! Come join the Sk8Kings -- Richy and I, Primo & Diane Desiderio, Rene' Carrasco, Kilian Martin and More! Per Welinder is coming too. Don't miss it!

Rumor has it Brad "The Jackhammer" Jackman will be in town from Seattle to join in the fun! Cool. Justin Collins coming out and hoping Keith Butterfield can make it too.

The Jams are all about fun and we just can't seem to get enough. We've already set the next one for August 16 -- since we are expecting a bunch of skaters who are on tour from Europe. Check out more details of the August 16 Euro-Cali Jam here: http://sk8kingsphp.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=657

Sounds like it will be a great day! I wish I could make it.

If your located in NorCal and want to freestyle on June 21st we will be at Rengstorff park in Mtn View from 9AM until noon.

Awesome Jam, Our new rider Kilian Martin was impressive! This guy skates non-stop and was bustin every trick possible! Primo and Diane were inducted into the Freestyle Hall of Fame by Bob Staton/WFSA! Keith Butterfield and familly were on hand along with the Abec 11 crew with electric skateboards. We even had legendary announcer Bro Rene' on hand to give the blow by blow. The Cox clan came up from San Diego so Kirby could join in the fun too. Justin Collins was there too! Our young mascot -- Jacob Butterfield -- was tearing it up and had a Game of SKATE with Bob Staton -- Sr. Master vs. Young Gun. Pics and vids coming soon. Very cool day.

Here is a photo wrap up by Rene' (originally posted on his forum Old School Cool) -- Thanks Rene' Awesome Job!

Hi Guys -- I'm lagging on getting some pics put together from the event since I'm also switching out my main computer and that's always fun! In the mean time, the Abec-11 Crew have made some headway with their pics and review.
