It doesn’t matter how high up you go in the elevated Colorado, the state puts out some fantastic talent! The mile high city was no exception, as Woodward Denver pulled in some of the best skaters from the city, nearby towns, and far off places. With nearly fifty skaters entered, the crowd of friends, family, a television news team, and photographers were in for a show as the skaters brought their A-game. Starting things off was the junior jam with nineteen competitors. Local Bobby Rodriguez, 12 years old of Denver, CO., took the crown combining his final run with a nose stall reverse and an ollie gap.
The Skate Vert competition though small was rich in talent as eight competitors vied for the coveted all-expense paid trip to Orlando. Dylan Taylor, 13, of San Diego, CA took the win mixing huge grabs with 360 indys. ÂÂ
The Free Flow division was tight, technical, and…top-notch.  Rachael Reinhard, 17 of Colorado Springs, CO., the contest’s only female finished a respectable fourth-place pulling a kickflip to frontside board slide in her final run. Phil Hanson, 10 of Centennial, CO., finished third combining 50/50 down the double rail, a 360 over the man-gap, and varial double flip. The judges had a difficult time in deciding the Free Flow winner as both competitors each had different styles and tricks of their own. But in the end, one had to come out on top and it was Ryan Thompson, 11 from Katy, TX, who took the crown and an all-expense-paid trip to the Finals in Orlando. Thompson put together a solid final run pulling combing huge 360 flips over rail to flat, kickflip over the pyramid, and an ollie one-foot boardslide. Jullian Christianson, 18, of Denver, finished a respectable second place combining nollie bigspin to flat, nollie melon-grabbed over the man-gap, and nollie back tail to smith grind. ÂÂ
Big ups and thanks to the Nick and the crew at Woodward-Denver for putting on a great contest.
