Chris Henderson, Nate Linford and Drake Riddiough from the Half Pint Team qualified for the Van's Warped Tour Mini Ramp contest at Shoreline in Nor-Cal and here is how it ended up. Everything was going well as the punk rock played and the mini ramp competition got under way with big airs, grinds, heel flips and too many tricks even try to list! This is the same event where we met up with Drake Riddiough and his dad Ken one year earlier when we were just getting the Half Pint project together. Drake did his part again this year to keep the crowd yelling for more 360 airs and inverts. Must be cool to be the California Skateboard State Champion at only 8 years old!
The finals finally came down to the top three skaters that were tearing the ramp apart all day long and the lucky three were Isack Yanaz from Bill's Wheels, Raven from Creature and Chris Henderson from Half Pint. When the dust finally settled it was Raven easily pulling off another first place win with Chris Henderson taking second place and Isaac Yanez coming in third place.
Special thanks goes out to the Van's Warped Tour and CASL crew for putting on another killer event!
Thanks again to Grady for covering the event and getting these sick photos --- more to come..
