While sitting around trying to decide how to start our article we got into a heated argument about which of our favorite pros throws the best Z’s. In the end we never settled our debate, but we did discover that the amount of spin you get doesn’t matter. What we really value is the dedication, time, and effort that the adults provide making our learning experience enjoyable. We now know how lucky we really are to have such a great environment and such wonderful people in which and with whom to pursue our freestyle dreams.... ALL RIGHT! Enough of that! We are not getting paid to suck up, so let’s shoot straight from here.

Let’s jump right into our awesome jam sites in the Seattle area:

---Greenlake, our home field, is a common shred zone for Seattle juniors. The sun, lake, and breeze provide ideal conditions for exciting afternoon jam sessions.

---Then there’s Shilshole’s thrashing winds that gives us juniors the extreme conditions to satisfy our airbrushing lusts. Our desire to learn leads us often to this freestyle haven where frequent jammers offer us their hottest tips.

Seattle, along with some other large cities in the US, is one of the rare places where there are enough jammers to provide plenty of jam sessions. We, as junior Seattleites, are extremely lucky to have so many places to shred!

We have to admit that we do believe some of the cheesy stuff we wrote above, but that does not mean whatsoever that we will be the slightest bit merciful in our prime mission: STOP SILVEY!
