2014 Canterbury Skateboarding Regionals – Photos & Results
Jack Dargan – Nollie Heelflip
Last weekend Cheapskates hosted the 1st Canterbury Skateboarding Regionals since the major $3.2 million upgrade earlier in the year with skaters flocking from across the South Island to qualify for the New Zealand Skateboarding Nationals, it sure was an epic day! The weather turned it on and the calibre of skating was the heaviest we have ever seen!
A crowd of over 500 people packed out the street arena for an afternoon of hammers from some of New Zealand’s up and coming shredders. With 42 competitors in total across all divisions, its a good sign that skateboarding in the grid city is on the rise.
Over $3000 worth of prizes was up for grabs thanks to all the supporting sponsors – Cheapskates, Skullcandy, Vans Shoes, Electric Sunglasses, Akcent Skateboards, Thunder Trucks, Traffick, Manual Magazine, Bones Wheels and Neff.
Big ups to MC Kev and Judges Alex, Troy and Nat for keeping things in order and to all the competitors for the best display of street skating we have seen at a Regionals ever!
Andy Brown and Jack Grant did an amazing job of capturing some shots from the day. (There may be a couple of DNL in there but with this many photos its hard to remember who stomped what!?)
