Footage from this years King Kong event at Southsea Skatepark.

Adam Keys took first place in the Jam, followed by Noddy Rands, Bod Grist, Murray Cross and Mike Wilson.
Casey Brown took the best trick with his banger; FS smith flip-out. Runners up were Sam Willers (BS 180 Nose-blunt BS 180 out) and Bod Grist (Double BS flip).

King Kong 2010 Miniramp Jam
July 27th, 2010
Saturday was the King Apparel King Kong 2010 event at Southsea Skatepark.
The day didn’t start that well, with no one arriving to take part in the under 16′s mini contest – hard to believe that NO under 16′s could make it! It didn’t matter anyway, there was a good turnout for the over 16′s comp and some bangers we laid down throughout.
Judged by Herbal Family member Ian Millson, PhinFilm’s Sam Way, Strong-Island’s Paul Gonella, and MC’d by Herbal Family member Jasper Derisley (Slick Minded Individuals).
There was strong skating from everyone who entered; 13 in total. Each rider received a 1 minute single run (a long time to skate on a mini!) and the top 5 progressed into the Finals where they would get EVEN longer (2 minutes!) to get some lines down and some real bangers.
Michael Wilson, Murray Cross, Bod Grist, Noddy Rands and Adam Keys all made it into the finals, won by Adam who laid it down! Big tricks, linked up with some steezy lip work.
Best trick then went ahead, won by Casey Brown with a super-clean FS-Smith Kickflip out. Runner-up couldn’t be decided so Bod Grist and Sam Willers took it together; Willers with a BS nose-blunt BS 180 out and Bod with a double BS flip.
The event was Supported by SUSO (free drinks for all!), Vans, King Apparel (who showcased their product on a stall setup in the skatepark), Lovenskate and some Dj’s and Graph-artists. Lastly, ourselves organising the Mini-ramp Jam and
All in all, a great day and I am much looking forward to next year where we should hopefully take it to the next level!

Straight out the Darkroom
July 22nd, 2010
The ‘H-bomb’ (yeah, that is what Harvey is calling himself these days!) dropped this banger in my inbox after NASS.
Marcus, Harvey and myself arrived on the Thursday and the first thing we really took note of walking up to the Athletes camping (excluding the burger vans and bungee rides!) was this rail in the middle of one of the fields. Upon closer examination, the rail was makable, but the run-up was stones and gravel.
So, after we setup camp, we headed back down to the Pro Course for Marcus to get some warm-up time. Meanwhile I cornered one of the builders and managed to secure some scrap ply to make a runup out of! 10 minutes and 3 attempts later, this BS board went down.
