There was serious slammin' and there was serious jammin'. The skate community gets buzzing the weekend before this event, as tribes of skaters from all over the globe pack there bags and head to the same place, Vancouver, British Columbia.
Skaters can become underground legends here.
I know a few, and have witnessed incidents that will be remembered for years to follow. This year was nothing short of that for most people who paid the Jam a visit. Dave Metty , the W.C.S. judge, left the bloodiest mark of the weekend. He'll sure remember the stitching it took to close the hole in his head. Arto Saari was slapped to the ground hard.
