SKATE OR DIE: THE AFTERMATH!

POSTED October 7, 2009 BY Jef Choy

Last weeks event was a rager, thanks to everyone who came out and especially to those who got their shred on.  Pictures are still coming through but I thought I’d share some with you along with the results.

results and more pix!

Deciding winners wasn’t easy, but after much deliberation, we came up with the following:

Stylemaster category:  Mike McKinlay, got the session stokin’ at China Creek with boosted backside boneless ones and my favourite the backside layback tailslide. With a bunch of 30 somethings pushing around, there was a ton of sketchiness, Mike made them look sketchier…

Most Schralptitude category:  Adam Hopkins aka Corey Webster was giving his all at every spot that day.  We couldn’t call out stuff fast enough for this kid…He also had an original Jeff Kendall, which won him points and took the ‘born in the 80′s category too!

Most mondo Rags category: Seb Templer, how can you argue with three animal prints in one ensemble?  Seb also wore the outfit to the after party to boot!

Seb letting the outfit do the talking….nice nosebone…

The Dark Horse category:  Steve Rempel….I can’t tell you  how many times we asked…’Who’s brought that guy?’  Every spot he had something, while everyone was happy just to get off the blast ramp, frontside 3!.

The day closed with Kevin Harris ducking out on his beer league hockey game in the third period, doing a Clark Kent into his mint Powell sweatpants and spinning off into oblivion.

Huge thanks Ultimate Skateboards, S&J, BLVD, and Skull Skates who provided prizes, also Seb Templer for building the ramps!  We’ll be posting more photos in days to come as well as a video!
