Are there going to be any Derby Flatland Jams soon? or have there been any recently.

I read the post about them being every month but does that still go on?

Thanks

There hasn't been one for ages as far as i know. i guess we all depended on arker too much to organise them, so if he's not doing it then noone is. We need a jam in the UK soon, but I'm not sure if anything's on the cards.

I have been trying to find a suitable location in Southampton, its a pretty easy place for a lot of people to get to. I havent had any luck yet but if i can find somewhere i will host a jam.

Sadly it's true, the whole of Derby Storm has been shut down. Skatepark, hockey rinc and the b-ball court.

The building as a whole was losing money and the owner couldn't afford to keep it open.
So one sunday he did the honerable thing, threw everyone out, staff included, and changed the locks.

A few kids tried to break in to ride the ramps one last time, but the police were called and they all got ASBOs.

I've not found anywhere else that'll let us ride around here as yet, but i'm sure if we all keep looking, then we'll get another bunch of jams lined up soon enough..

RIP Derby

Thats a real shame to hear.

I have been contacting the council in Southampton but they're very unhelpful, and i cant find anywhere myself. As far as i know, there aren't any jams planned in the uk, and other than the comps (but even the bike show is off this year), i dont know of any prospect of any. Except maybe another Sunray?
