This years Box Jam edit turned out quite a bit different from last years. I don’t know if it’s because the camera was cursed that day, the wild guest personalities we had joining us this year, or maybe it was just the mood I was in while editing, you decide. Either way, as everyone knows by now, the day was a huge success, and I can’t thank everyone enough for coming out, helping out, and throwing down. This event wasn’t hosted by me, it was hosted by all of us, because without everyones support it would have never happened.

I also want to thank all the sponsors for supporting this event. I know it’s a small event, but these are the ones that matter. We hope you consider helping out for the next one!

Nick uploaded over 60 of his Box Jam pictures onto his Flickr page. He captured the overall vibe of the session pretty well. I’ll give you guys a taste on here, then you can follow the link to Nicks Flickr page.

Check the rest of the images (including all the stoop craziness) out HERE.

THANKS NICK!

Keep an eye out for the official Box Jam edit within the next couple days!

We recently created an addition to the Jersey Barriers at The Legal Walls. It took a little planning, a couple days of work, and a little bit of money, but now we have something really fun to skate. Most of the process was documented, so expect to see an edit of that sometime soon. We skated there yesterday, and Jim Haschmann snapped some sweet pics. Click the link to check them out!

If you were at LAST YEARS Box Jam, you know you don’t want to miss it. Last years event went off without a hitch, we rolled up with two rails, a grill, and a ton of food. This year will be no different. This event will only be possible with everyones help. If anyone has anything they’d like to donate, whether it be a grind rail, a grill, a boom box, a truck for transportation, food, or any ideas on how we can make this years event better, let me know. Just reply to this post with your idea and a way of contacting you.

When we heard about Franco Shade hosting an edit submission contest we took it as our personal mission to submit the illest, and most proper edits possible. I originally took on Dan Barnes as my subject, then after lots of successful shooting sessions, I decided to add on Steve Bruning. Both sections are fused together into one seamless edit, but for the contest I split these two sections up to meet the 90 second requirement.

Take a look at two of the illest bladers in WNY doing their thing.

Nick’s really been stepping it up lately with his photography. He’s provided us with another photo set with some pics from Buffalo and Rochester.
