This town is amazing - great spots, nice ass normal people, great weather, style, and more. It's a bit corn fed husky on the women, but maybe it was the crusty bars we were in. Thanks to Red Bull for having us.
Around the corner was this hubba that Keegan Kim 5-0'd and some ledges that slid for miles. There's stuff big and small for all ages in this little museum plaza.
Straight from the airport, we found the fence at this crusty skateboard pad ghost locked, so we helped ourself to a private session.
The crusty skateboard pad had a mini-ramp also. SPoTlight Productions judge Bob Reynolds spins it big to back tail.

Once the Contest started, we had the rain start along with it. After a couple hours, things dried up.
The Nashville character was super nice as everyone in this town seems to be. He introduced me to his cruiser mutts.
Zitzer's explanation of "switch" to the normal ass people in the crowd was pretty funny. Had something to with driving in England.
It was another test round on this iPad scoring system I wrote and things went smooth. When we're short on iPads, we resort to iPaper and share the iPad for data entry afterwards.
Ross Norman won it not just because he did the hardest tricks, but also for looking damn good doing it. This fakie shuvs fakie manual was one of many attractive balancing acts.
Thanks to Converse for providing prizes for the top three, including a trip to LA for the Manny Mania Finals. Get the Qualifiers results here and Final results here.
