Vert Skaters Killed It, Not In A Good Way

We allocated $25,000 for the prize purse on the U and we put double that into relayering the ramp. How much more can you do? What does it take to get the top vert skaters to come to a normal skateboard shindig? The only reason there were even 10 people in it was because some were locals.
