Wht sOn
The yoof of today. eh? All they do is hang around street corners. drinking cider and getting up to no good. right? Well. that's what you might think if you believed everything that was splashed across the front page of the tabloids. Thankfully, the reality is far more diverse and innovative. Last year‘s inaugural Summer Jam Festival - a celebration of the very best in urban street culture — was positive proof of this. showing off the skills of Scotland‘s brightest break dancing. basketball and cheerleading stars. This may sound like a contradiction in terms; after all. everybody knows that white men can‘t jump. But according to organiser Damola Akinyemi. the Summer Jam Fest is all about dispelling such stereotypes. 'People say street ball [a more dramatic style of basketball] is a game for black people. but the guy who won the slam dunk competition last year was a Scottish dude. a white guy, who jumped so high he broke the ring. So we‘re breaking down all preconceptions and bringing cultures together.‘ What the event also aims to show is that the most talented young people out there aren't necessarily playing traditional sports like rugby or tennis; they could be skateboarders. freestyle BMX riders or juggling bottles in a sport known as flair motion. ‘These are people who do their thing on the street but don‘t have an avenue for showcasing what they do - so we‘re letting people know that there's much more going on in the world of sport than just football. and putting their talents on the map.‘ Alongside the athletic action, there will also be DJ battles, graffiti art work and capoeira demonstrations at what promises to be one of the hottest urban sport events of the summer.
