It’s time for the 6th Annual Ithaca Skate Jam! Real Action Sports and Comet Skateboards would like to invite the entire skateboard and Ithaca community to the 6th Annual Ithaca Skate Jam on May 6th and 7th, 2017 in Ithaca, New York. After five years of shredding the hills of Ithaca, a second day has been added to the event, with a regional Amateur Skateboard Contest at the Ithaca Skate Park, which means two days of shredding!<\/p>\n

Saturday:<\/strong>
\nFor the past five years, the event has\u00a0taken over an iconic hill in Ithaca and turned it into a downhill skate park for everyone to enjoy. Last year, 300 skaters from all over the western hemisphere took over Buffalo Street. This year we are doing it again at the same spot at the top of East Buffalo Street between Eddy and Stewart Ave. With fresh pavement at a consistent 15% grade and skate park terrain on Quarry Street (running perpendicular to Buffalo street). The hill starts at Eddy Street and downhill to Stewart Ave. There will be some ramps on Buffalo Street to hit as you go or you can just bomb away.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quarry Street will have several skatepark features and the vendor and food truck zone. \u201cThat\u2019s How I Roll\u201d Sushi Burrito Food Truck and Gorgers Tacos will be on the scene serving up the goodness.<\/p>\n

The format is a \u201cnontest\u201d style jam. Skate hard all day and we’ll give out prizes however the Comet team sees fit. There are no specific contests or divisions. There will be a session for younger and beginner adult skaters from 1-2PM. Comet and other teams will be doing workshops to help learn to ride the hill.<\/p>\n

We are sponsoring 20 young people ages 14 and under to skate with the generous support of the local foundation Touched by Josh. Josh passed away while skateboarding at a young age. His family started his foundation to remember him by creating the stoke for the youth to get a chance to skate and have fun at Ithaca Skate Jam.<\/p>\n

DJ E-Rich, DJ Double A and Proper Philth will be pumping out the jams all day.<\/p>\n

Saturday Night:<\/strong>
\nPremiere screening of the movie \u201cMade in Venice\u201d at 8pm with intro and Q&A featuring special guest cast member, Dan Levy of Juice Magazine, at the State Theatre of Ithaca, located at 107 W. State Street, Ithaca, NY, followed up with an after party next door at Lot10 with the Club Rub a Dub crew.<\/p>\n

Sunday:<\/strong>
\nThe Ithaca Skate Jam rolls to the Ithaca Skate Park and all ages are welcome to compete. Divisions will be broken down as follows. 8 and under, 9-10, 11-12, 13-15 and 16 & over unsponsored, sponsored team riders, womens and masters 30 and over. The park contest will be run with a jam format, skate till you bail with a first trick rebate. Heats will run in groups of up to 15 skaters with a 20 minute practice heat and then a 20 minute judged session skating one at a time in order jam session. Judges will be looking for style, use of park, consistency and difficulty of tricks.<\/p>\n

There will also be several mini contests throughout the day. Highest\/Longest Ollie, Most 360’s, High Jump, Hay Bale Jump, Ramp to Wall, Launch\u00a0Ramp, Street Plant, Old School Tricks etc…<\/p>\n
