The Veteranos Mexico Skate Jam started in 2002 as a reunion of skaters from the 70’s, 80s’ and early 90’s who skated the few skateparks built in Mexico City, like Skatorama, Dogtown Skatepark, and Skate Inn. The skate jam provided an opportunity for old and new blood to congregate and skate and share stories and memories of those skatepark days.
On December 16th 2018 at the Rabioso Bowl in Mexico City, the 4th Veteranos Skate Jam was held, with a bowl jam contest. Old school punk band, Sedicion, from Guadalajara, also played a set.
Atinada opened for Sedicion, with a special cameo appearance from Aknez on vocals (former Massacre 68). A skate punk rock photo show was also held featuring photos by Olga Aguilar and Al Partanen.
The skate jam consisted of 3 divisions: young guns, girls and veterans, which had the most participants. Congratulations to Jhossan Rodriguez who took first place in the young guns category, and congrats to Veronica Zamudio who took the top honors in the girls division, and congratulations to Cuauhtemoc Dimas for placing first in the Veteranos division. 100% respect to all of the skaters that skated and participated.
Big thanks to Rabioso for letting us use the venue, thanks for the great pizza from Perro Negro and hamburgers from Mata Leon, which when added to brew and a bowl to skate in the heart of downtown Mexico City, definitely made for a one of a kind event!
Thank you to all that helped with prizes: Levis Mexico, Juice Magazine, Silly Girl Skateboards, Skull Skates, Bowl Society, Art Godoy, Puro Gallo and MahfiaTV.
