SEPT 26TH 2009 | WILD IN THE PARKS CHAMPIONSHIPS | RIO VISTA SKATEPARK — PEORIA, AZ
This past Saturday brought out the finest collection of amateur skateboarders to the Rio Vista Skatepark for the season ender of the WITP Champs. With 212 competitors all skating in well over 100 degree weather, you knew it was going to be a long hot day of pure talent. The kids started showing up well before the contest started just to get some practice in and work on their tricks for the day.
All the kids were stoked to win the big cash prizes and couldn’t wait for the product give-a-ways!
The groms in the 14 & Under division kicked it off and really set the bar high for the 15 & Over and Pro-Am divisions to follow them up.
The “OOOHS & AAAHS” from the crowds in all three zones were making each and every competitor take it to the next level. So by the time the sun was setting and the finals were underway the real talent and competitive attitudes were starting to shine.
Big shout out to Electric’s $1,000 check “Hype of the Day” winner, Matt Penington, for his 360 Hardflip.
Electric would like to give big high fives to Volcom and Jeff Arnold’s Crew for making the 2009 WITP Championships a day to remember. Bang, Bang, Bang!!!
