Slam Jam

Slam City Jam, the North American Skateboard Championships, was the longest-running skateboarding event in North America, debuting in Vancouver, Canada, in 1994. The three-day event captured the music and lifestyle of skate culture and featured athletes and musicians. Cash prizes were awarded to both men and women, although the total cash purse for men was significantly larger. The event has appeared as a playable level in the video games Tony Hawk's Underground and Grind Session.
