Blogsite reaches Beta


This whole thing is gearing up to launch soon , but expect some changes over the next few weeks or so as I add in extra info and stuff comes together.

Basically this is a slide and flatland jam in Southampton. We've got use of some neat smooth tennis courts  (3 courts big) for flatland, and the steep access road into the sports centre we get to use to bust some skids. if people want competition then I have some fun-style formats to deploy.

There'll be an online payment kinda thingy, a bit/lot like the one for Hog Hill, as the event will have to be a pay to attend. It is however a closed road event, next to a pub, and we are in talks about a PA system, and all sorts of other gubbins. If enough of you pay up before the weekend i'll try to get some swag together as well.

As with most/all the things I do, profits stay in the scene. If this event is rad and it ends up earning more than I spent then there'll be more scope for more madness later on in the year.

So there we go! Also, many thanks to Ben Williams for sorting us a logo, and Kuler for picking some decent colours from it for a colour scheme until I can spend some time making it look arty and stuff.

Keep Skating!

The beginnings of something big

Hey to all of those who find this link, I've noticed there's already been a number of hits from the US.

Southampton Stylejam 2012 is a UK longboard event covering the disciplines of sliding and flatland/dancing in a single event at a venue capable of catering for both.

The event itself will happen in April, and I am currently prepping branding, insurance, the website, online signup and all the other bits and bobs that go with planning an event.

One of the major tasks I have ahead is to find some sponsors. If you've found this and are interested in sponsoring or want more info please get in contact via das.industries.uk@gmail.com or my personal email timpeters.eng@gmail.com

Thanks for reading, and watch this space!
