The Extreme Dirty Weekend 2006

The first ever Extreme Dirty Weekend loudly and rudely imposed itself on Brighton Seafront on the weekend 9th/10th September 2006 to the delight of many an action sports fan. Deep down, we all knew there was something missing from the events calendar, and this was it! 

A handful of world class skateboarding and BMX stars including Pete King, Andy Scott, Zack Shaw and Jon Taylor shocked the massive crowds with their incredible skills and provided a weekend long Vert extravaganza for everyone on Brighton Seafront. Alongside the ramp action there was some bad-ass DJ talent including Vestax Champ JFB and DMC Finalist, Buckwilde, alongside MC’s Tenshon and Ninety on the mic. 

The event was so sick that some people were simply gobsmacked by what they saw! The Ground Zero/King Ramps coalition proved an excellent recipe for a weekend of vert mayhem and the success of the event has built a solid foundation for an annual event.

The YES Network

The launch of The YES Network, a series of innovative events for young entrepreneurs, took place on the 15th November in the Brighton Fringe Basement as part of Enterprise Week 2006. 

Sussex Entrepreneur of the Year 2005/6, Jacky Misson and Darren Fell, Founder of Pure, Winner of the Sussex Small Business Award 2006/7, talked to the young audience about their extraordinary experiences in setting up their own companies. 

The speakers were followed by a speed networking session where many attendees made some useful connections with other ambitious young locals. This type of event is hugely beneficial to young entrepreneurs interested in learning more about the pitfalls involved in starting up and running a business.
