By mid-afternoon we were finishing up 13 - 15 with a Final Jam. The skaters in 13 - 15, 16 & Up, and Sponsored all got two, 50-second runs, but then we threw in a top five Final Jam for fun. Sure, it took a little while longer and we got out of there a bit later, but seeing the great skating made it completely worth it...especially when it came to Sponsored. Oh man...that was great. What was supposed to be a seven-minute Jam turned into an additional 10-minutes of time extensions and "one mores." When it was over I'm surprised that those guys could even walk.
Thanks to our judges...Jon Mann, Mike "Steal Your White Woman" Goodwine, Chris "Bright Futures President" Jata, Robbie "Pee Wee" Kirks, and John "WESTSIDE!!!" Montesi. And of course we'd like to send a special THANKS to our friends at Altamont for being the title sponsor of the Back to School Bash. Justin, Figgy, Theotis, Garrett, Kenny, and Andrew...thanks for being here and hooking it up.
Don't miss our final All Ages of the year (Harvest Jam Presented by Xing Tea) on November 15th.
