We're at the point where we run these local Contests at our own place at the same caliber we do for all our events around the world. SPoT Scoreboard is our software that ties the whole process together and these here are just a few of the people that make the whole experience what it is.
Xander Keel won the 8 and Under Division with tricks like this frontside 180 and more. It's only been a few years since we changed 12 and Under to 8 and Under after we noticed a lot more tykes coming for the Contest. The progression is amazing.
Brandon Starr needs to tell Torey Pudwill to get on stamping some more of that Grizzly Grip. We can't keep it in stock because it's moves so quick. That's a switch frontside 180.
Nick Wallace is growing well into becoming an ATV. You can find him on everything from the Mega to the vert to the street course. That's a crooked grind.
How tight do you have to be with your homie to ask him to stack you like that for the product toss? This move is generally reserved for boyfriends and their chicks at the concert.
The kid in the front going reverse back arch style for product thrown over his head should try out for the Olympic pole vault. Nice form, son.
We'll be back in Puerto Rico one of these days soon! These are our PR homies Ray and Freddie who are here with Rio who ripped in the 9 to 12 Division.
We brought back the Girls Division this time. I think Noelia Velez is here at the Park more than I am. She's ripping.
Schaefer's on some judges coaching right now. Thanks Tommy, Pat, and Casey for manning the difficult job of scoring 166 skaters.
Thanks to Altamont for backing this Contest for all these years and having all their gear at 20% off all weekend.
Everyone hold on, Schaefer's getting texts from the Mayor of Tampa. Ha, wow. I think Bob Buckhorn is a regular at The Bricks and now homies with the Mayor of the Streets, Brian Schaefer.
Yonis in 1st for the Finals and Qualifiers was pretty unquestionable with moves like this switch backside tailslide on the rail.
Robby Kirkland - frontside flip. I don't know why I just thought of this, but remember when Robby passed out in the hallway at Tampa Pro?
