The Big O Ten-Year Anniversary Jam Photos
The Big O Ten-Year Anniversary Jam Photos 7/11/2023 TWO-THOUSAND-TWENTY-THREE marks the TEn-year anniversary of the Big O's rebirth after it was saved and moved. So, obviously, a celebration was in order. Ace Trucks in association with Mehrathon Trading and Big O Bastards crew organized a jam to celebrate the occasion at the epic spot. The weather was definitely not favorable, yet we rolled the dice. It rained a few times, but we were equipped to get it dry in a flash. DJ Upperkutz got the vibes going and the trucks started barking. Collisions, close calls, hang-ups and bangers, it had all the ingredients required for a good ol' jam. Lots of dollar bills were handed out during the best trick and people threw down. Everyone kept skating through the day, but after a while, it was time for the official Big O soundclash between selectors Juan Love and Spoon-Bee and it did not disappoint. They mashed up the place! Five minutes after their sets, a huge thunderstorm hit, so it was a blessing from the Skate Gods that everything went down without a hiccup. Huge shoutout to Vans Canada and Empire for their support. We couldn't have done it without them. —Marc Tison
