Held in the school holidays with all the Milk crew making an appearance at some point over the 3 days the young attendees get to hang out with the crew and learn basics and tricks in a safe and laid back environment with lunch and refreshments provided.
Unable to wangle the time off, I turned up for the final day to take some shots for Empire. The main event being a big air contest over the jump box with the usual stack of boards built up on top.
This made for some really funny photos. As it makes some of the most experienced skaters uneasy, I decided to run without a flash for this as I didn't want to put any of the kids off half way through a trick.
Other fun stuff that went down on the last day included pass the parcel with stickers in every layer and some other goodies hidden within, a session on a DIY bank out back - the new concrete section wasn't ready unfortunately. And as it was someone's birthday, everyone got CAKE.
Earlier in the week all the kids received Milk Skateboards decks which all the crew signed and I even got to scribble on a couple!
