This is one of those contests that are simply for the people participating. It’s not for the kids and not for the spectators, it’s for the skaters.
We had a great group of fellas from about 20 all the way up to 47. Damn son…that’s old, but even some of the oldest cats were getting their fs slashers on.
If you were too tired from skating you could grab a burger, dog, and cold beverage to recharge. Or you could challenge Lehman to a cigarette-smoking contest, too!
The format was simple and completely informal. For the older guys we did a “timed jam.” That means you skate until you fall in order. The “kid” division, 20 – 29, had an all-out, no rules, 15-minute jam.
Thanks to all of our sponsors for hooking up tons of free gear for a bunch of guys that really don’t get too much for free:
Red Bull, KR3W, Boost Mobile, adidas, DC, Ambiguous, Foundation, Pig, Jinsai, Nixon, Globe, Steaz, Triple 8, Nike SB, and Deckcrafters.
And a special thanks to Binky for putting the entire thing together. The awards were sick. I threw away the piece of paper that had the Results and Awards on it, so I’m winging this one off the top of my head.
Biggest Beer Belly – Llyod Gillick
Jim Bell Award (most heart) – Tullie Carlton
Ms. BBBBJ3 – Jenna Becker
Just For Showing Up – Kurt B.
Hardest Slam – Monty Nolder
Most Likely To Quit Skating Again To Play Golf – Ed Womble
