skatin the Lone Star State

Well this was a lot of fun.  I got to skate in both Vert and Street.  I placed 6th in Vert and just missed the cut in street.   Josh Staford flew in from San Dieago for the vert event and as perdicted he won hands down.  I was happy to be riding as I showed up with one hand in a fiberglass cast and the other in a soft cast.  I broke my thumb about 3 weeks before the contest and a week later I broke my wrist in 2 places.  I competed in a contest last week and took 1st in Mini Ramp and Bowl.  I ended up in 2nd in street.  I wish it would have gone that way for me here but what the hell.  I showed up and was airing chest high out of the Vert Ramp and got some good tricks down in the street comp.  Next year.......

Another great event.  I skated in the sponsored open group and ended up in 6th.  Just out of the money but it was a blast as usual

Competed in Vert and it was an awsome event.  There were many old friends there from the Tampa AM.  It was like a Mini AM with Ben Hatchel taking first place.  I ended up in 4th but I am cool with that. I can't wait for the next one I get to skate in up in New Hampshire.

Wow - we had a killer time.  I skated good and ended up in 25th.  The talent was out of this world.  There were guys from Brasil, England,  Austria, Columbia, East Coast, and West Coast.  Almost all of the guys were cool and we just spent 4 days ripping up the Vert ramp.  My friend Nolan took 10th and Zac took 26th.  Can't wait for next year.

If you make it to Maine you have to hit the new park in Lewiston.  It rocks.  People are talking about this park in New York, New Jersy , Rhode Island - thats how sick this park is.  You can see pictures of it on my web page at www.capcitysk8.com.

I will be in Tampa Florida for a Vert contest at SPOT from 8/25 to the 8/28.
You can find me most Saturdays at Rye Airfield ripping on the Mini Ramp, in the Clover Bowl or on the Vert Ramp.
