We Want to See Everyone Out in Support of this Region’s Skateboarders from Many Generations, so BE HERE!
It’s time for the 13th Old Man Bowl Jam and 30+ Street Open happening at Southside Skatepark Saturday, April 1, 2023. This year our event is sponsored by Eureka Heights Brewery. We want to see everyone out in support of this region’s skateboarders from many generations. It’s always a great time with bands on the decks, great skateboarding in the bowl, and bbq in preparation for an amazing dinner upon conclusion of the event.

Every Year it is So Much Fun to See Everyone and Simply Ride
Skateboarding has always been fun with your friends. As we get older our priorities can shift, reducing and in some cases removing skateboarding time from our lives. Some of the participants in OMBJ year after year often are not able to ride much annually. Occasionally OMBJ is literally the only day they can skate, but when they do it’s always magic. We are happy to provide a day to celebrate the adult skateboarder and show our respect for those that blazed the trail forward for skateboarding in our region.

Skateboarding is RAD but What About this Year’s FOOD?
Dave Donalson is always cooking something up to take skatepark contest food service to the next level. This year we are hearing rumors of cast iron seared Picanha steaks, chopped beef, baked potatoes with all the fixings, and salad. Eureka Heights Brewery is running support on the beverages and the skatepark has additional supplies in the vending machines. John Moore Live will be helping us out, pit master extraordinaire. It’s our goal to annually put out a spread like no other at any skateboarding event. This is Texas and we mean to keep it that way through and through!
Our Goal is to Annually Put Out a Spread Above and Beyond Anything You’ve Ever had at Any Skateboarding Event, EVER
