Update To Trying to Start a Rail Jam

Where is this at? I'd be interested in helping in the ways that I can. Getting sponsors is an important part.

Reach out to as many snowboard/skate shops as you can

Some local businesses typically sponsor the smaller events in my area, even if they aren’t snow sport related

LiamJones04So far i have gotten a confirmation from Honey Wax (@ridehoneywax) and support from ski addiction (ski_addiction). Also got advice from Mathew (@midwest_skier). As of now i’m just looking for one more sponsor before i propose the plan to my local hill. I have an outline started but still needs some work. thank you to all who’ve helped and please reach out if there is anymore advice or contacts of people i should reach out to.

This is in the Midwest?


where at?




edit* definitely would be stoked to go but the 8 hour drive from mn in pretty hefty

Shoot me a DM on here or IG and give me details and I'll see if I can help. Definitely can send t-shirts or something at the very least

Local shops are a good place to start. When I used to run the PIST rail jam in Pittsburgh, we had a good relationship with a local shop. They did a lot of the leg work finding brands that were willing to donate gear. You'll have a much easier time dealing with the social media person at a local shop than the social media person from a big brand.

gilson once again supporting rail jams, love to see it

Get local shops involved their the ones that are part of your scene and most likely to help.

Talk to the mountains food and bev, or ask marketing(or whoever you're contacting) about it. If you have a contract with rebull, monster, etc maybe you can get a few cases for the event to give out. Maybe they'd be able to throw out some small merch too.

The vibe is everything, sometimes more than the prizes. Build a good setup that works for the target clientele. Have fun, rail jams are fun.

If you're struggling to find much for shit to give away in prizes you can always do a small cash prize or see if the mtn will kick in some tickets or gift cards.

Once you have the event planned make sure to tell everybody. And have them bring some friends.

Good luck! Rail jams are mad fun
