Step into the Arena...

This Easter weekend our friend Kevin, proprietor of Boulevard Skate shop, hosted the first skateboard contest of the year in conjunction with Fourstar clothing. As you can see from the below photo, it was the perfect day for an Arena competition.

Upon arrival I was greeted by Mr. Kevin Kelly himself and put to work pasting stickers and hanging banners around the arena.

While we were doing that some of the local kids took part in a skate camp.

Now with all the sponsors logos visible it was time to "get the party started" as the spectators and competitors rolled into the arena. The contest format was simple Kevin would designate an obstacle active and award prizes, including cold hard cash, for those who threw down the most innovative and difficult maneuvers. Below are my best attempts at "skate photography", I think I'm gonna leave it to the pros from now on!


Shralp!

Slide!

Gnar!

The launch ramp (my personal favourite) took no prisoners!

Supra warehouse Employee Tyler Holm is on the home team!

Everyone who entered (and some that didn't) walked away with a prize.



After all was said and done and the cash and prizes were handed out we stuck around for a good old fashion skate session.

A big thanks goes out to Kevin Kelly, Boulevard Skate Shop, all the sponsors involved and everyone who showed up. I can't wait for the next contest.
