Hey!

The contest yesterday was loads of fun. The warm up session before the actual contest was even more exciting because it included skaters like Benji Galloway, Mason Huggins, Buck Smith, Sergi Ventura and a ton of other amazing pros. It was really hard to get a run in but eventually everyone just dropped in on one another and simple runs turned into big games of chicken. I loved trying to dodge everyone in between tricks.

Anyway back to the contest. Julie Kinstrand basically just destroyed every inch of coping at the park with some great lines and stylish fs layback grinds and took 1st place. I landed most of the tricks I hoped to land like tailslides and airs in the deep end, air walks to fakie, staple guns, and a bunch of grinds all over the place and ended up in 2nd. Third place went to Marlee Miller who I met two years ago at a contest in North Carolia and she has progressed a lot since. She was throwing a bunch of clean lip tricks and even doing alley-oop early grabs over the hip. Rye local Zack Rose competed in a very intense open AM division. He skated really well and threw smooth stylish airs all over the bowl. I was surprised that he didn't make it to finals, but he definitley had some tough competition.

This morning I went and skated at Oveido skate park made by Team Paine, the same company that made the Cocoa Beach park. It was an amazing park with great flow and a super fun pool with tight transitions and even a death box. Here are some pictures.

Ok I'm going to go watch the pro finals. Cross your fingers for Nolan Munroe!
