For those new to the longboarding world, there is a common longboard event known as the Slide Jam. Similar to how a Jam in skating takes place all on one object, a Slide Jam traditionally takes place on a single section of steep road somewhere, with contestants all hurtling down the same hill while trying to pull off not only the biggest slide, but also more complex categories such as best trick, slide / trick combo, most stylish, and sometimes someone wins the best bail.

However during Covid lock downs, these events basically ceased to exist, which is why Kurt Derow started the Virtual Slide Jam last year! The Virtual Slide Jam was all done online, with contestants submitting videos via tagging on social media, and later reviewed by a panel of judges online.

SkateHive will be donating the rewards from this post, as well as all following Virtual Slide Jam post's rewards towards the participant who got the most community involvement.

Here is the recap video of the first week of the contest this year:
