Saturday 2014.09.06 – Day 6 at the Getxo Bowl-A-Rama 2014
Contest day was going off. The energy and the level of skating had been building up all week and it got even more intense on Saturday.
When we got to La Kantera at about 8 in the morning there was aready a line of people wating to get the best places in the bleachers. And a couple hours later when the contest started the area around the pool and the hill facing the skatepark was packed with spectators. This definitely was one of the best contests this year, with a rad spot, sunny weather, BBQs, tapas, beers, vine and some super nice people in the Bask Country.
Overview
The Masters
Wolfgangster graps his nose on this frontside grind over the deathbox. He had the best time in Getxo shredding with all the masters from around the globe and enjoying some tapas and a few beers after the sessions.
Sean Goff – 50/50. He also did his trademark Toddtwists, frontside rocks and sweepers.
Salba doing what he does best, shredding the pool with hard lines and throwing slob airs, tailsides and nosegrinds in the mix.
Jean Terrisse took the Eurolines bus from Marseille and shredded the pool coming straight from from the overnight bus ride.
