The Vertically Insane skateboarding event and bands day was a success. The competitions were packed and the excitement was running high. The bands gave a great performance. Next year will be bigger and better than this year so were excited. The only negative thing is that 2 bands that I orginized did not show up for the event, this was a shocker on the day, and we had minor sound issues. But all in all it was good. See you next year!

We have a new site admin! PAN will be handling site upkeep with Nico from now on. Hopefully we will have more news from now.

At last! ChristianBands.co.za is having its own event! 18 October, the Vertically insane.
