Tony Hawk, Wonderfront Festival investor and ambassador, is bringing back the famous Boom Boom Huckjam for his hometown crowd!
In the early 2000s, Tony Hawk’s Boom Boom HuckJam Tour was the biggest, high-flying spectacle in action sports, traveling the country and playing the biggest arenas in the land. The tour turned a huge spotlight on the skate community and attracted significant exposure to the sport of vert skateboarding.
“I’m excited to bring back the Huckjam format (choreographed and freestyle skating with live music) after 10 years of hiatus, and there is no better place for it than my hometown. I’m proud to be involved with Wonderfront, and it’s been a blast helping handpick the legendary punk bands for our stage.” Tony Hawk, Wonderfront Festival Partner.
Tony is bringing back the HuckJam ramp to Wonderfront with bands including:
Pennywise Suicidal Tendencies X DJ Z-Trip
and a crew of some of the biggest professional vert skaters and bmx bikers in the world, including:
Tony Hawk Kevin Staab Marcello Bastos
Andy MacDonald Elliot Sloan Paul Luc Ronchetti
Bucky Lasek Lincoln Ueda Marcello Bastos
Lizzie Armanto Simon Tabron Jordyn Barret
Evan Doherty Jimmy Wilkins
This all-star squad of professional skaters and iconic punk bands set the stage for a legendary show! The revival of Tony Hawk’s Boom Boom Huckjam will bring together the nostalgic, skate-community of the 2000s and the current generation of skateboarding-enthusiasts. And what better backdrop for it all than bayside at Wonderfront Music & Arts Festival?
