Skateworks Jam event called “Shredwood” was definitely that
to say the least. The Jam consisted of street in the morning, and the main bowl
event in the afternoon. The street jam was stacked with up and coming talent of
all ages from all over Nor Cal. All styles were present from power skating to
tech, and best trick contests were called out by the judges at random. The
Judges consisted of heavy hitters pros, such as Colt Cannon, Justin Strubing,
and Toad.The best trick contests
consisted of the best blunt trick, and best trick over the Red Bull barrel.
Winners received prizes and $ supplied by Skateworks and were skating hard
which was good for the eyes. The Main Bowl event that was supported by Red Bull
for a $1000.00 first place was simply amazing. The top five skaters to make the
finals were simply breath taking. High flying airs, over vert pivot fakies,
rodeo flips on the vert section by Josh mattson, blunt kickflips, inverts, 360
airs over the spine and on and on. The contest was so amazing that at one point
I needed water and sunscreen as Josh Matteson came out on top for 1st place. Everyone in the finals was skating super fast and just one upping each
other left and right, the crowd that surrounded the bowl cheered what seemed
every few seconds. The Pro line up ofjudges had a difficult time judging the event as the skating was so
powerful. Shredwood seemed much like a pro contest from the talent which was
great for all that attended, including myself. The winners were given their
prizes by the Red Bull girls, which finished the event nicely.
All I gotta say is Shredwood was a hit, won’t forget it, and
can’t wait till next year…
The Core Skate Contest was raging! About 50
skaters/spectators crammed into TC's yard for some free skatin', Red Bull
drinkin', BBQ'n, good times! A bunch of TC's pro-skater friends showed up to
blow up - their skills had us all in awe...so we had 2 divisions for the
contest: Surf-gnar and Skate-gnar - basically all of the surfers were in the
Surf-gnar division and the really good and pro skaters were in the Skate-gnar
division. We can't remeber who won - but we know that we ALL had a blast! Photos
to come soon. A HUGE thank you to TC for letting us all over to hang and skate!
