Justin Holt out of North Carolina, USA is doing a jam upcoming at a local indoor park and wanted to let us know some details.  Justin's hopes are to raise enough money to build a street spine at the park.

 The jam is Saturday December 17th at the Creation Skatepark (www.creationskatepark) at 702 Cinema Court in Kernersville NC (which is between Winston-Salem and Greensboro) from 5pm-10pm.

It will be $5 to get in and you can ride as much as you want. There will be an informal high-air,  high bunnyhop and best trick contest  for prizes throughout the night. It will be a good time.

Maybe he can swing by the Simpel session in Tallinn on the weekend of 6-8 January. Fraser sent us the following taster of his new elusive project:
