The Jungleland Jamboree
A big part of weekends at the original Jungleland Wasteland were informal,
outdoor concerts called "Jungleland Jamborees." These concerts
actually featured some fairly big name (for the time) acts, like *Steppenwolf
and Canned Heat. The concerts drew a diverse crowd, including members of The
Hells Angels. During the Jamborees, Hells Angels would often dangle dollar
bills, beers and joints above the Blue Bowl while we skated. If we could air
high enough, we would grab the loot out of their hands.
Original cut-out of the Jungleland
Jamboree logo used on the Jamboree flyers. Found taped to an old skateboard
helmet on Ebay in 2004, Jungleland Skates purchased the helmet so the logo
could be restored. |
The Jungleland Jamboree (Revival)
In November of 2008 Jungleland Skates held the first Jungleland Jamboree
revival. The revival was held at Johhny Miller's Toyland Ranch, the most
suitable location for a Jungleland Jamboree. Since that time there have been
more revival's and we will continue to keep the Jungleland Tradition alive as
long as possible.
