Yep, its that time of the year again and we have taken the liberty of organising another event for you to enjoy on Saturday 8th December 2007.

This years Crossfire Xmas Skate Jam is in association with Osiris Shoes and will take place at Bay Sixty 6 Skatepark in West London. Kick off is at 12 midday and the skate jam will end at 6pm. Unsponsored comps will start from 1pm-2.3pm then a pro jam from 3pm onwards and end it with a product toss.

Special guest riders from the Osiris US team will include Corey Duffel, Garrett Hill, John Rattray and Diego Bucchieri plus Brandon Ide and Adam Moss from the UK Team plus UK pro riders from Venture, Creme, Blueprint, Heroin, Landscape, The Harmony, Karma, Death, Creature, Casual, Plan B, DGK, Spitfire and 50:50.

Fingers crossed, a new obstacle will be built for the jam. Last year we had the Whale courtesy of Fos, this year, who knows, but we will update you as we plan on this site.

The Jam will be followed with our traditional Crossfire Xmas Party with a DJ line up and the European premiere of Osiris ‘Feed The Need’ DVD that will be released this Xmas. Click here for the trailer. The party will be held in Corbet Place, The Old Truman Brewery, Ely’s Yard, 15 Hanbury Street, London, E1 6QR and will be a £5 guest list on the door. Join the Crossfire newsletter from the homepage to get an invite. Over 18’s only.

More premieres of this film will be shown around the country from the 8th December onwards, look out for the dates on this site soon but until then, start planning your journey in advance and spread the word.

As wrongly reported yesterday Wed 5th December, the competition we are running for our Crossfire Xmas Jam is actually for tickets to the Skate Jam at Bay Sixty 6 featuring the Osiris team, not the afterparty as first reported.

Moose says ‘sorry peeps’ for this cock-up and the revised competition is up on our competitions page.

Those who entered are still in the hat.
