First wall rebate was also in effect so everyone was trying to kill the first wall. Drop in to McTwist to start your run...

Wow... small world. I must have skated there with you then... cool.

I got sponsored at this event by Zorlac thanks to Tom Boyle. I drove down from Toronto with him and Weiss. Boyle got second behind Mike Conroy in the Am finals. Truly amazing skating. I had a blast and almost died a couple times coming back over the spine to the vert ramp... very tricky... ha. Lots of great memories but I don't remember how the event was judged, I didn't make the finals, that I know, but I skated OK I guess.

Is the rest of the contest available? I was at this as a amature.

@GrantBorden I was an am at this event too. I rode for Santa Cruz at the time. I was hurt, and after the first round decided to not to continue because I was so outclassed. I crossed my name off the list for the semis and told the judges to bump the next guy up then sat in the audience. Do you remember how they sent four guys straight to the finals, cut six or eight, then had a semi final with twelve who got cut to six for the finals? How did you do?
