Slam City Jam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Slam City Jam, the North American Skateboard Championships, was the longest-running skateboarding event in North America, debuting in Vancouver, Canada, in 1994. The three-day event captured the music and lifestyle of skate culture and featured athletes and musicians. The event has appeared as a playable level in the video games Tony Hawk's Underground and Grind Session.

In 2006, Slam City Jam took place in Calgary instead of Vancouver, as the Pacific Coliseum was being renovated for the 2010 Winter Olympics. In Calgary, the event was held in the Stampede Corral. It has not been held since, and there has been no word on reviving it.
