This year marked the 10th anniversary of the POCKET PARK SHOWDOWN. We had a great turn out and a very diverse group of skaters. Watching the young guys gun it out for the tie was especially fun. After each run was done there was cheering and high fives all around. Everyone was genuinely stoked on each other's riding which is what skating is all about! Two solid run's from each skater in the "tie" division made it especially difficult for the judges to pick the top three. In the end Ian Gunelson took 3rd, Elton Skog got 2nd and our winner was Simon Walters!! Great work dudes!
This year's fight for the jacket featured a heavy list of local shredders. Joaquin Figureroa, Kyle Walczak and Carter Nguyen stood out to the judges though and took home the top spot.
3rd: Joaquin
2nd: Kyle
1st: Carter
Thanks to everyone who came out and added to the pages of the Pocket Park Showdown history book.
