The 2012 KYIS SK8 Jam was a great success with skaters from Trail, Castlegar and Slocan City showing amazing skills. In the beginner division the Jennings kids; Jasper, Ember and Cedar, demonstrated their skateboard prowess. The intermediate and advanced group joined together to throw down some great tricks on the half pipe. At the end of the set time period Levi Peirson of Slocan City was awarded an Artschool Skateboard deck for best trick with a “Front 3 Indy.” Big thanks to all the people who came along to this inaugural event. The next event of the 2012 Kootenay Skateboard Series is on May 20th at Kaslo Skatepark.
