Getxo Bowl-A-Rama 2014 pt.-5

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.

Pat Ngoho – style and lines with a good mix of tricks like this loooong boardslides, backside airs, fast plants and monty grinds.

Pro

Bask ripper Ian Campbell shredded the pool with hard tricks like this frontside baordslide, front feebles, backside airs, disasters and then some.

Daniel Cuervo – high solb air. Daniel was flying all over the pool all week with his slop airs and airs to fakie and inverts to fakie.

Cory Juneau skates fast and solid with tons of style and good bag of tricks like this egg plant.

Filipe Foguinho – super high stalefish. He also smashed some disasters, lien to tails and body jars and did rad inverts.

Sky Siljeg – one foot air. Sky had the crowd on their feet with his attack of the pool. Creative lines, high speed and always on edges, definitely a crowd favorite.

Danny Leon was all over the pool and made good use of the shallow and deepend with a deep bag of tricks.

Alex Sorgente skates rock solid and did some of the loudest and highest body jars and madonnas mixed with rad lines and tricks.

Pedro Barros was going off. He skated with speed, power and on the egde at all times making it exiting to watch. He did front blunts on the hip of the shallowend, high indy airs, bs stalefishes, boneless ones and liptricks like this a switch 50/50.

Raven Tershy was not in the contest but joined the after contest best trick session with some shoeless skating. FSA over the ladder.

Some crazy skating last weekend at the VANS POOL PARTY 2014 and some surprizes too.
The kids were on fire and totally taking over the Pro division, wow who would have thought that before the contest? The likes of Pedro Barros, Rune Glifberg, Omar Hassan, Giorgio Zattoni did not make it into the finals… amazing. Here´s some pics from the weekend more will follow in the next Bailgun issue coming soon!

Chris Miller 1st Place legends – when Miller stays on on his runs he is pretty much unbeatable at the Combi.

Hosoi 3rd place legends – Christian had good lines some high bs airs in the corner pocket of the square, floted bs ollies in the round with one of the best styles in skateboarding.

Eric Nash – he had some rad and solid runs but didn´t quite make it to the podium, he threw some high indy airs, inverts, egg plants, corner smith grinds and acid drops into the square.

Brian Patch 2nd place Masters – Patch was shredding with fast lines loooong grinds, high airs stalled inverts and good lines.

Tristan Rennie 1st place Pro – had a million tricks and lines and combined that to some winning runs.
Divebombing and indy air.

Josh Rodriguez 2nd place Pro – he shredded the whole combi with speed, style, tricks and lines. Eggplant 360, fs bluntslide around the corner, front feeles around the corner, high airs and then some. Lien air.

Josh Borden – smith grinding the round but also had a Mc Twist and Andrecht to fakie and some great lines.
Smit grind

Tom Schaar was blasting high air all over he combi and also threw in some 540´s and 720´s. Stalefich corner.

Pedro Barros did not make the finals…wow. But he still blasted some of the hiest airs – stalefish

Chris Russel didn´t make the finals but he was shredding hard, he´s fast and has a rad bag of tricks with frontside boneless to frontside invert or fs boneless desaster about head high just being two gnarly ones.
This might look like your basic corner grind, but he´s going faster that most doing it.
