The editor of Frontside Grind Magazine pooped himself when he found out the best trick on the Goat Ramp was a frontside grind. This resulted in the only person under 50 ever to grace the cover. Shawn Hale here went from that low quarter to the high and back into the low.

Meanwhile, back at the open bar, the Asahi goes down much more smooth in a beer funnel.

For the tech center portion of the Best Trick Contest, there seemed to be as many skaters as there was people in the crowd.
|
This madness is pretty difficult to shoot decent photos in, so look out for Pelham's footage for what went down. Lenoce's over it like me.

Willy Akers - low to high bsts.

The second Moat Show took place this past Tuesday and Wednesday at Skatepark of Tampa. Lots of out of town friends came out and had a good time. The Best Trick Contests were held on The Goat Ramp and tech center, respectively. Stand-outs on the Goat were Willy Akers, Shawn Hale, and Timmy Knuth, while Kevin Coakley, Shawn Hale (again), RayRay, Yonnie Cruz, and Robbie Kirkland killed the tech center. Thanks for coming everyone and we'll see you next time.

Chris Blake skated the ramp a little differently, snapping an ollie over his teammate Willy Akers and The Goat Ramp's Eric Payne. Some of Eric's best quotes were from Reservoir bar that night. When Willy Akers ordered a water before he left, Eric quipped back, "Water? Water's fer washin"! Eric also added, "I won't hit a woman, but I'll shake the hell outta her!" when a girl gave him a dirty look.

Jaws dropped when Kevin Coakley nailed this fakie flip switch crooks. Wow.

Chris Blake worked on this gap to noseslide for a solid 30 minutes, then pulled it after the judges called time on Best Trick.
