SkateMCR’s Christmas Doo Part 2 was a fun time down at Central Skatepark for a Nativity Fancy Dress Themed Skate Jam!
Plenty of folk came along to have a skate but only a handful made the effort with the fancy dress. Jim, the New Sensation, won the prize for the best dressed - an Element Deck - for his dressing gown, PJ bottoms on his head, and bareing his legs in the freezing skatepark to make the oufit more authentic!
Jim also came 3rd in the Skate Jam which was won by Louie B and Stu came second.
Sexual Stu even made an effort for a bit, but kept his leather jacket on for style!
Click here to see more photos, and Merry Christmas one and all!
