Highlights: Overall the “Team Challenge” went off without a hitch….I believe this type of competition really helps push the limits and works coordination within the teams. My fav. was the doubles, seeing those guys work the routine or first combo airials over one another was fantastic and exhilarating!! Not to say the least Robby Gaskells’ near 6 foot backside air and Kale Sandridges’ frontside 5 foot plus slob air started the competition off with a “bang”. Oh….yea…can’t forget “grom” Chris Kays’ 17 foot 50/50 grind either…….all in all, PASS really appreciates the support from all the local shops on the series as well as the team challenge/s. This contest was a “Winner Take All” competition…hats off to the Volcom crew…trophy and $200.00 for their efforts. Thanks again….see you May 30 at the Kapahulu Street Shop Challenge and the finals of the 97/98 Pacific Am. Skateboard Series this summer.
