SPoT Free Fridays / Spring Roll 2017 Coverage
Posted on Wednesday, April 19, 2017 by Chris
While the away team was in Atlanta for our first Damn Am stop a couple weeks ago, we geared up for our annual Spring Roll all ages contest here at the park. It's always great to see rippers of every generation come out and give it their all. And as we do every First Friday of the month, the day before was free skating for SPoT members to show our appreciation. We fired up the grill for some free BBQ and topped it off with a Best Trick contest, where everyone had a chance to come up on some free product. After the dust settled, we showed the classic "Reel to Real" video in our new Transitions venue - a classic. Josh Bowser got photos of it all, which you can peep below.

THE NEXT DAY...Spring Roll 2017 All Ages Contest - The young guns line up to get the 8 and Under division started.
Thanks to all of the parents and relatives who always come out to show support!
The young guys are getting so good that these contests are getting really tough to judge. These dudes had their work cut out for them.
The contest was really exciting, but we weren't all feeling the juice. It's okay dude, I was really tired that day too.
Contest burgers just taste better.
The paparazzi was in attendance...
Getting total coverage.
Eric Abdou-Essa might have shown up a little late for his registration photo, but his skating was right on time.
Griptape art is pretty next level these days and we totally back it.
I ended up having too much fun watching Malique Simpson skate his runs to take enough photos of him as he took First Place in the 13-15 Division. FS Bluntslide
Grace Morhoefer handled her runs with lots of consistency and just barely missed the Top 3. BS Feeble

Shout out to all the moms who came out. Especially the ones raising the new generation of skaters!
When you take this many photos in a day you are bound to cut off the occasional hand or two. Josh Wolff : BS Smith
Elias Heitmann came all the way from Norway to skate this contest, seriously! Thank you for coming out and killing it all weekend Elias.
All eyes are on you once you drop in for your run. It can be a lot of pressure...just kidding! It's all good fun.
Zakar Hussein was hyping everyone up all day and still had the energy to kill it during his run. FS Feeble
