AG + RS + VE + ML

The contest went off this past weekend to say the least…
Thanks a lot for supporting this event. With over 50 competitors and probably an additional 30-40 spectators. I think that rollerblading is really making a come back as a whole and this event showed me that its very much alive in New England. A lot of new faces came out to the event.

The 16 and under kids killed it - and Ryan Strout from Maine ended up taking it in the end with a soul on a high kink rail to 9 foot gap off the flat.

Johnny Wu once again took the OG 25+ comp with consistency , and style, which resulted in numerous lines, as well as a soul and slash stance frontside down the kink.

The level of skating in the open class was also incredible. Kids were really determined to win and in the end Benny Strout from Maine took the comp. He was lacing at each spot and ended the comp with a disaster true top porn over a sidewalk to the down rail.
