Skateboarding has always been one big sausage fest. So JENKEM figured why not actually throw one? Enter the 999 challenge. What ensued was one of skateboarding’s most glorious sporting events. No ramps, no pros, no big shoe sponsors, just a hot grill, a cooler full of ice, and straight flat ground tricks. The boys were quickly separated from the men as our twisted idea became a reality.
JENKEM Gave Away $999 in Skateboarding’s Only Hot Dog Eating Contest
Birthed on the baseball diamond by frat boys and alcoholic fathers, the 999 is a contest consisting of eating nine hot dogs and drinking nine beers in the span of nine innings. Being the geniuses Jenkem is, they replaced the innings with tre-flips and gathered at Brooklyn’s Blue Park to watch the chaos ensue.
