This was the 22nd annual West Hobart Bowl Jam. The West Hobart Bowl being the second oldest bowl in the world, situated on a rugged, convict built island called Tasmania at the Southern tip of Australia.

“The Bowl” (as it is colloquially known) is a rugged, rough bitch that is a 100m snake run that opens up into a 10ft uneven, kinky, beautiful bowl in the words of charles barkley “some better, none tougher”.

This place is Phelper approved (Jake Phelps, Julian Stranger, CARDIEL and Bob Burnquist did the pilgrimage here in the 90s) and at the time, Burnquist rated it as one of his top 5 places in the world to skate.’

With the Australian sun beating down hot enough to cook a dead dingo the “bowl jam” (as it is colloquially known) was fu***ng on. Not a comp but more of a no rules, no holds barred fight to the death. $1500 cash is given out for tricks on the day. You do something rad and you score yourself a pineapple (pineapple being the colloquial term for a benjamin). The pistor resistance of this place is the “Thrasher Corner” (as it is colloquially known) so called it has a thrasher piece on it that is reportedly the oldest Thrasher piece in the world which has been there for approximately 30 years. It has been redone and altered by many a grapher, but still remains in the same spot. When the M.C (Jimmy from the local Jimmys Skate and street, who puts the whole event on) screams “Best trick on Thrasher” the thousand plus crowd (of thugs, families, hipsters, kids, bowl skaters, street skaters, chiggas (a colloquial name for white trash bogans or eshays) bums and drunks) all converge on the Thrasher corner with the hope of seeing death or glory and hopefully both.

Being one of the most southern bowls in the world, this place is often forgotten and neglected which is just the way we like it. Situated on an island full of snakes, spiders, tasmanian devils (yeah theyre real) drop bears, thylacines and chiggas, the West Hobart Bowl is just one more beast you have to conquer.
