EVENT - VANS ERA SKATE JAM 2026

Leeds was the official first stop of Vans' Skate Era Jams taking place across Europe. Hyde Park got a seeing to as usual from locals and Vans team riders alike, with Logan Riley taking home the Vans team MVP and our mate Jasper wiggling his way through the slalom for a phat prize. 

Shoutout to Vans Skateboarding for putting in the work and Homework Design for their relentless construction and breakdown efforts.

Let the shouting commence

Merl connoisseurs rejoice

Is there a Doctor in the house? Wakefield's finest switch krook.

The sound of this was amazing the coping clinked all the way through for the ollie airwalk

Miles came through with a textbook 5-0 Front Shove 

Hip sessions beware Dale was moving house and managed this Nollie Backside Flip

Backed up by Frud for good measure with a patented Nollie Backside Heelfilp

It was Twiggy's and Harry's birthday so they both worked the full day at Hyde...who wouldn't?

Sheffield local Porridge was an absolute ruler. Why is Porridge so hard to spell?

*YIPPEE NOISE*

Leeds locals were treated to one of Lancarshire's greats Shaun Wilks. He could start charging for demo fees at UK events. Kickflip to Fakie over the diving board.

Double serving of Porridge on this blog. The boy can float!

Ayumi stepped up to the roll-in for some much needed cone time. Slalom for days!

Speed equals Distance divided by WUG

Fist bump, doughnut and £50 feels like a good prize for Slalom. Look at the pain in Ian's eyes.

Hit the Era time...

...and we're done.
