The event will run throughout the day in two formats. First, a free skate jam with product-based prizes according to how hard you push for your ability. The free skate is about having fun and personal accomplishments, focusing on pushing your limits rather than comparing to others.
Secondly, a more formally structured competition where your run is judged and scored. The top scores advance to the final, with cash prizes of 1st £250, 2nd £150, 3rd £50, and 4th £50.
Alongside the main event, there will also be a Full Bowl provided by Southwest Ramps for everyone to skate.
The Picnic bench jam is open to everyone regardless of age and gender, and all spectators are welcome. This community event is for all to enjoy and will be family-friendly. Seating and tables will be available, along with cake and coffee vendors. Feel free to buy food from other local vendors in town or bring your own.
To complement the skate jam, the sound system will be present with live DJs playing music all day. Reggae, hip-hop, and related genres will set the tone.
