Nine days to build chaos. One night to burn it down. Welcome to the Huck Jam.
One legendary skateboarder. Twelve of the world’s top athletes. Two raging punk rock bands. Six months of planning. Nine days of rehearsal. One jaw broken in four places. One huge night in Las Vegas. Thousands of screaming fans. This isn’t like any recipe your mom ever made. This is The Making of Tony Hawk’s Boom Boom Huck Jam – a heart-stopping, edge-of-your-seat, out-of-your-head display of daredevil talent. In fact, it is the only action sports and music show that matters. This is your behind-the- scenes credential to watch how the show came together for the Las Vegas kickoff at the Mandalay Bay Events Center. Join Tony Hawk and his crew of skateboard wizards, models, and magicians as they gather on a $1.2 million customized ramp/track system for a show that had never before been created, and which others may only hope to imitate.

Sound
Punk bands screaming over bones crunching — audio mixing as combat.

Shaun White at 17, pre-Olympics, already flying higher than reason allows.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Huck Jam bridged X Games spectacle and live arena entertainment, paving the way for Nitro Circus and Red Bull's entire empire.
Tony Hawk directed this while simultaneously negotiating his video game franchise — the same year Underground made him a household name beyond skaters.

I remember being 5-6 seeing posters of this at my local skatepark. i begged my dad to bring me, he ended up getting us 3 tickets. For both of us and a friend to come. It was one of the most memorable experiences of my childhood. Devo played too! that was my first "concert".
