Jacko’s 21st went down in Ozzie skate history with an event the first of its kind. The day consisted of crew gathering from all over the country to compete in the first longboard freestyle jam. Riders were taken to several spots on Sydneys Northern beaches and were judged purely on style. Riders were given 3 runs to impress the judges in any way they wished, and were also rewarded points for dressing up in rad retro/old skool costumes.
