Slide jams are serious business these days. Billions upon billions of dollars and countless man-hours are invested in such events every single day across the entire globe. And 9 times out of 10, the winners of these events go on to become Mega Longboarding Super Stars with huge corporate contracts and baller mansions and other swagged-out stuff like that. Extreme. . . uh. . . wait. . .

Okay, no!
Actually, slide jams are simply just a fun place to skate with a crew of homies, possibly meet some more new homies, learn a trick or two, and basically have a chill skate session. You can also win some stuff, and that’s pretty cool too!
The homies have put on the Turkey Slide Jam on a local hill for the past couple of years and we show up every time. It’s fun! This year we rolled up, took a couple runs, did some serious camera lurkage, and then we dipped-out for some chilly-chill craft beers and pizza pie at a local spot down the road. Please peep the pics we captured and make sure to take the captions and results super seriously, or don’t. . .
