About this Event
UKAF Skateboard Jam
When: October 17, 2026 at 5:00 PM (BST)
Where: Flo Skatepark
The UK Armed Forces Skateboard Jam is back for its 4th year, and we want to see the wider allied community get involved! This competition is open to UK Armed Forces active personnel, reservists, and veterans, with trophies and prizes up for grabs.
Allied partner nation service members and veterans are encouraged to come out, skate, spectate, and support the event. Non-UK personnel can skate but won’t be eligible for competition prizes.
If you’re stationed across the UK and looking for something to do, here’s your excuse to come out, skate, meet people, represent your service and country, and build connections with others who share your military background and love for skateboarding.
The event is unofficial/voluntary. Dress civilian clothing. Bring own equipment. An admin order for the event is available upon request, this can be sent through work email.
There’s a small entry fee of £5 that covers Jam expenses, with any leftover funds going to the RAF Skateboarding committee charity fund, supporting military skateboarding across the UK Armed Forces. Please make this payable in cash on the day.
