SLAM #143

Features:

Skate of Origin
Forget the football, this is the real battle between Australia's States. Four-man teams of skaters from New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland go head-to-head in combat to try and take home a huge prize pool of cash from Red Bull. Shredding for their States, the boys' true colours shone through over the four-day fight to win.

The Jimmy Roche Experience
He's a flamboyant kid with freakish pop on a skateboard. It may seem like Jimmy Roche is from the wrong era, but one thing is for sure, this lad knows how to get his kicks. He's dying to live each day to it's fullest and continues to let the good times roll.

Bondi Bowl-A-Rama
Steve Caballero, Chris Miller, Rune Glifberg, Bucky Lasek, Benji Galloway, Chris Senn and Sergie Ventura, along with an arm's list of other greats and Australian rippers, tackled the tiles of Australia's biggest bowl comp, certifying Bondi '08 as one for the skate history books.

Brad McDermott New Gen
Brad looks like a typical surfer down by the beach with his boyish blond good looks, but 'B-Rad' possesses a true talent for skateboarding and no slash-dog wax-head could step up to the rails he jumps down.
