Supporting Local Skate Parks
This summer we wanted to show our love for skate parks by sponsoring some events and Jams around the UK. Skate Parks are the beating heart of the community and without them we'd all be hitting up street spots, annoying the grannies and endlessly searching for local for abandoned swimming pool bowls.
So thank God for Skate Parks.
Sponsoring Skate Jams and Events
We wanted to create some giveaway packages that would spread the word of Triple 3 and give more than just the overall winner something to take home.
With this in mind we created a black shoulder rucksack with our Triple 3 Skateboards logo printed on it and had 250 of them whipped up in a factory.
After a long wait, they arrived and looked sick. We stuff them all full of stickers, including some from our friends at South West Skateboards and Nine Lives Skateboards. Then we picked out a few select Triple 3 T-Shirts to pop in for some of the winners of each Jam.
We also popped some of our British made Skate Decks for good measure. We only wish we could afford to put one in every bag! Maybe next year.
Finding Skate Jams
Most Skate Parks put on an at least one Jam every year. There is a great list of them on Skateboard GB's website. But they often don't put them online until quite late, if at all. So we reached out through our social media and our skate team to find some that were looking for sponsors.
It didn't take long before our inbox was full of parks, local skaters and promoters getting in touch. We tried to support as many as we could, trying to focus on ones that where either near one of our skate team members or community based parks and events.
We made a final events section on our website, so we could show everyone all the events we were sponsoring and to allow events to create a new home for their event information.
See You At The Jam
We are ready to roll, bags have been packed up with Decks, T-Shirts and Stickers and our team are ready to head down to any Jams local to them and hand out free stickers and get photos of the Jams. Come say hi if you see us out at your local Jam, we're always armed with free stickers and happy to chat Triple 3.
