It´s on!

Despite the abscence of most of the "veteran skaters" the competition turned out to be a great success.

The park was totally wet when we got there but some redbulls and a couple of mops did the job


The band Snowman Played during the comp and cheered up everyone



improvised skater band


Some free stuff to drive everyone crazy
