The third edition of the Slide Jam took place, last Saturday (September 17th), in Bogota – Colombia. Longboard Girls Crew Colombia was more than happy to attend to this event and support the 7 girls from our crew that signed up for the competition.

The day was perfect, specially after a rainy week! The category was open for girls only – boys had their own category- with no age discrimination. The circuit had a free space of around 20 meters to do the slides you wanted, followed by a half-fly box ramp and a set of  3 cones for doing slalom and another 3 cones for carving. Finally, there was a launch ramp that was optional for girls.

The competition started and the 3 referees of the jury picked up 3 girls for the final run. These girls showed their best tricks, some even tried to nail both of the ramps. At the end, Sandra Kabas won the competition, having 2 boards as prize, a comet FSM and WEPA board (national brand). The second and third place winners received wheels and clothing.

Here you have some videos of the competition. Enjoy and keep practicing!
