Jorge Angel aka Porpe

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

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

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 chick at the concert.

If any of these kids grow up and turn pro and get the classic interview question, "What was your first photo in a magazine?", they're going to have to say, "Well, it was when Rob Meronek made fun of my haircut." Watch for our Bieber Fever ad in this month's mags. While I was uploading headshots for the last contest here, I couldn't help but notice the crazy pattern of swishy cuts. I wonder if the direction of the swishy matches their stance? I mean, you're going to totally wreck the swish if you got it swishing left and you're regular, right? Man, it's so hard being a kid these days.
