Nothing screams summer in New York like hotdogs and beer, and now that everyone’s god awful puffer jackets have been packed away, I have some big news.
Jenkem’s Third Annual 999 Challenge is here!
If you missed the first two years of carnage, let me explain. 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 we are at Jenk, we replaced the innings with tre flips and gathered at Brooklyn’s Blue Park for 9 hotdogs, 9 beers, and 9 treflips.
What follows is a special day in Brooklyn. No ramps, no pros, no big shoe sponsors, just a hot grill, a cooler full of beer, and straight flatground tricks. The energy, the puke, the buzzer beater ending. It’s truly captivating.
With support from Pabst Blue Ribbon, the $999 big boy check is still in-tact, and with both previous winners bowing out, the crown will go to a new treflipping warrior.
Scroll down for the full deets, and if you think you have what it takes to crush some dogs and go for glory fill out the sign up sheet below. See y’all soon!

Where: Blue Park, Brooklyn
Rules: Who Needs Em?
Sponsors: PBR
1st Prize: $999!

Lurkin long dogz down my throat and helping them slide down with beer sounds like a fine way to spend the day.
