Riley and Muska, Stoked!

Easter week­end was full of treats for Christchurch skaters with the jaw drop­ping Vol­com team demo on the Thurs­day as well as the Wash­ing­ton Skate Jam on the Sat­ur­day. This event had been post­poned from the week­end prior due to wet weather but a good crowd of around 200 made it down for the very first mini ramp com­pe­ti­tion of the Cheap­skates Skate Skool series.

The ramp dawgs finally had a chance to show off their skills with some seri­ous shred­ding tak­ing place in the pipe with the likes of Wash­ing­ton vet­eran Troy New­ton and young gun Vin­cent Bolt charg­ing around with some high speed grinds to impress the judges.

James Kingston was on form as always tak­ing 1st place in the open and New Brighton local Eugene tak­ing best trick with a kick­flip indy over the hip. Cheers to Hellers for pro­vid­ing the free sausages for the BBQ. Thanks also to the spon­sors who helped make it hap­pen — Cheap­skates, Skull­candy, Bones Bear­ings, The Christchurch City Coun­cil, Sport Can­ter­bury and SPARC.

The Cheap­skates Skate Skool has a few more events up its sleeve with a Lin­wood Skate Jam this Sat­ur­day 30th April.
