Bobby Carter over at the Diversion LAB breaks this one down for you:
“York Jam was the mecca of flatland jams. It was like, if you were in the flatland game for a certain amount of time, at least once in your life you had to make the journey to York to participate in this event. 2002 was my year.
Riders include: Matt Wilhelm, James Kennedy, Brian Chapman, Stephen Cerra, Marcos Paulo de Jesus, and many more!”
James Kennedy was the man! NYC (he was actually from hoboken, NJ but was union square regular ) isn’t exactly loaded with flatland talent, but James was as good as they get. And he could ride it all! I would have loved to see where he would have taken his riding had he continued. He was one of the OG skavenger crew members.
