Quite pos­si­bly one of the best events we have had at St. Albans went down last Sat­ur­day and I can only hope you were there to catch the action. Being the school hol­i­days, the place packed out quickly. The ramp at St. Albans is one of the most fun ramps around and the only spine ramp in the district.

All the reg­u­lar crew were amped and put on a good show for us, mean­while a swarm of begin­ners took to the sur­round­ing con­crete, many learn­ing to skate for the first time.

Some amaz­ing skat­ing went down in the comp with the likes of Troy New­ton, Jack Woodrow, James Kingston, Ned Simp­son and of course Dan Kelcher get­ting all crazy. The girls divi­sion proved pop­u­lar with the most female com­peti­tors we have ever had enter, a spe­cial men­tion to 13 y/o Megan Wil­son who busted a whole bunch of flip tricks tak­ing home 1st place!

Thanks again to our spon­sors: Christchurch City Coun­cil (Shirley/Papanui Com­mu­nity Board), Cheap­skates, Skull­candy, Sport Can­ter­bury, Hellers and the Can­cer Society.
