                          | Greetings extreme sports fans!
 
 Saturday July the 23rd was the date of the third Extreme 
                                      Sports competition in Burgess Hill.
 This years event was named Skate Jam, replacing 
                                      the name Skatefest which was used for the previous 
                                      two events.
 
 There were categories for Rollerbladers, Skateboarders 
                                        and BMX riders of different age groups.
 
 Unlike last year where each competitor has 90 seconds 
                                        on the course alone, competitors were sent out in 
                                        groups of 3 and 4 and had 3 and a half minutes to 
                                        do their thing.
 And with the skate park hosting it's first official 
                                        competition since its big expansion, this was a good 
                                        move to keep the crowd interested.
 
 This years panel of judges were actually made up of 
                                        people who know a thing or two about Extreme Sports, 
                                        including the legendary Dave White, the man who is 
                                        famous for falling on his head last year!
 
 Once again, there was a large turnout of people of 
                                        all ages to support the event, as Burgess Hill's finest 
                                        battled it out to become champion of there respective 
                                        deciplines.
 
 Burgess Hill Uncovered were on hand to snap the best 
                                                of the action and hired McCarthy TV to shoot video 
                                                footage (coming soon!)
