T.O.S.S. JAM 2005

Nice job Pat!

what the ---- is this about a bunch of tossers or is it tassy blokes please explain… :confused:

The inaugural (damn no spellcheck) Tasmanian old school skate jam, is on Marty…do I smell a spirit of Tas party?

Bring your sister and Toss on

apologies to the Bretheren from the Deep south I just couldnt resist after 7 beers

TOSS Jam - Rad.

Are any of you MOSS crewzers out there going to toss yourselves on to the ferry for this one?

www.skateboard.com.au gives the park 4 stars. Looks like it’s got some bert-able banks. Plus a couple of 4 to 5 foot bowls.

Toss crew, what’s the park like?

Jetstar has tickets for about $170 to $180 return from Melbourne. Qantas is much dearer.

Has anyone got any skate points I have?

Wedge.

highly bertable banks, high speed carv’n, endless lines…

…Cheap beers at the Bowls Club next door too!

we might even get them to bring out the Barbie.

Was planning on going to RADelaide for Air Bag but just found out a flight to Tassie is $100 cheaper. So gimme some more info on this here TOSS Jam.

Any other crew heading down ? Don’t mind being a solo traveller but it’s always good to hook up.

Skateboarding, travel, beer. What else do you want hey ?

How about this?
just managed to track Tim down and found out this.

[color=blue]Dear Pat

Nice to hear from you.

Thanks for the invitation. I will put it in my diary. I can’t promise to attend but will certainly try to make it.

For the record I returned to Tassie in 1979 after competing in and winning numerous comps in Europe and the USA. I skated for a number of outfits including , Alpine/G&S and Freeformer. I often skated with guys like John Sablosky, Marc Sinclair and Gerry Absolom. I also skated with Stacey Peralta, Tony Alva and Jay Adams - now the subject of modern folklore.

I didn’t have much involvment with the design of the West Hobart park. Indeed when I returned to Tassie I was contacted by the HCC Architect to endorse his design. I expressed my reservations and suggested that they should give consideration to a series of ramps and half pipes instead…20 years later…

Anyway nice to hear from you. Keep up the good vibes !

Regards

Tim Levis
