When it comes to skateboarding in Innsbruck, there’s one true highlight: the Skatehalle Innsbruck. Everyone might have their own idea of what’s special or a highlight, but if you break it down, this place is one of a kind in the entire universe. Don’t believe me? Try to find something similar—and please, let me know if you do.
Sorry, that just came to mind as I started writing this recap of this year’s HALLOWEEN JAM. We didn’t change the concept this year, but we did switch up the obstacles our Halloween riders had to shred. It was amazing to see how many people showed up in full costume and brought that proper Halloween vibe. Big ups to everyone who came dressed up—you made it extra special!
Several generations came together to have fun on their boards. For me personally, it’s heartwarming to see those skaters now in their mid or late twenties—people I first met when they were as young as today’s next generation. Skateboarding truly connects us all, and sometimes it takes a change of context to realize just how unique that is.
Thank you to everyone for showing up and keeping skateboarding alive—pure and raw, with that little touch of “don’t take it too seriously” and “yes, we were all young once.”
BIG UPS to our supporters: Skatehalle Innsbruck, City of Innsbruck, Ride in Pleasure Skateboarding, ASKÖ, Volcom, and Lakai.
Special thanks to our goodie sponsors: XDouble & Stance.
See you all in December for the NIKOLO JAM on Saturday, December 13th—starting at 13:00!
