Relentless “Super Series 2011″ – Broadstairs report

Ryan — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 11:46:06 +0000

The 2011 Relentless “Super Series” continues this weekend, with the The Works in Leeds tomorrow and Adrenaline Alley, Corby on Sunday. Check the following link for the details: Relentless “Super Series 2011″ – dates and locations.

Revolution Skatepark – Broadstairs

The park was filled with a healthy mix of Thanet locals as well as a few visitors from London and a healthy Leicester contingent for some reason! All the groups were well subscribed with about 15-20 guys in each, we ran it in a mellow jam format as there’s plenty of space in Revolution when there’s no scooters about. In the unsponsored groups my personal highlight would have been local boy Tim Prescotts backflip whilst being heckled by his mates.

In the sponsored section it could have been anyone’s win. Chris, Salar and Daryl all ripped as usual but just fell a little too much to take top spot. In the end Kyrons tech skills edged out Ewen’s full speed high power attack. All in all it was a rad session with a lot of smiles.

I didn’t see the bowl jam at the end as I was adding up scores but walked up the stairs just in time to see Ewen Bowers insane wall plant.

Thanks to Revolution for hosting the event and Vans, Shiner and Skull Candy for hooking up prizes.

Best trick:
Daryl Dominguez – Flip Backlip / Chris Oliver – Huge back lip.
