Houston Zumiez Best Foot Forward 2011 Skate Contest pres by BONES WHEELS

The Zumiez Best Foot Forward contest brought the heat in a heavy, heavy way here in Houston. The Lone Star state was welcoming to the BFF crew as we raged and stormed the Zumiez Couch tour and dropped the contest on hundreds of spectators. Heat would be the word of the day as these skaters tried to stay hydrated and not pass out in the sweltering mid-day Houston sun.

Pressing on through this searing heat would be five determined renegades with no regard for bodily safety. In the final round, we saw rad shredding and insane maneuvers from dudes like Justin Pinsen who rocked a 3 flip to lipslide on the bump to bar. Matt Vice pulled off tricks like backside tailslides down the handrail. Backing him up was the golden AWESOME boy himself, Chris Luhring. Chris handled business with a bigspin down the big gap to flat and a crazy front bigspin to board down the rail. He wrapped up the finals heat with a nollie back heel down big gap.

Third place went to George, who made it a mission to annihilate the handrail. With tricks like kickflip front boards and a manly kickflip frontside feeble down the handrail, George was a shoe in for the top three. Sealing the deal at the end of the 15-minute jam, he rocked a front feeble rewinding a front 270 out.

Jonathan Bastien came in second with all kinds of well-executed maneuvers. Tricks like a bigspin down the gap and backside flips made the audience take notice. What made the judges take notice, was Jonathan's mastery of tricks like his perfect back smiths and nollie lipslides down the rail.

The first place madman that killed the whole course all day was a man by the name of Dominique Goings. Dominique held it down hard for Houston with a big bag of tricks including a three flip noseblunt and a kickflip back tail on the bump to bar, a backside overcrooks down the handrail, and an unprecedented hardflip back lip 2nd try. Seriously amazing skating out of this dude, heat or no heat.

Houston Was HOT, but the only thing hotter was the shredding coming out of these finalists and all the contestants of the Best Foot Forward Houston stop.
