Pow-wow Pro/Am 2011 Contest Report + Official Edit

May 17th, 2011

This must have been the nicest weekend Jacksonville had ever seen. Definitely hot, but perfect skating weather. We arrived at the park around noon on Friday, several hours before the start of the Under 18 division contest. After a few to-do’s and touch ups, the Under 18 was under way and went off without a hitch. I remember some tricks from this contest that made me wonder if these kids where really under 18. Such as Zach Pollak’s Full Cab Ally Oop Mizou, cess slide in, then his huge disaster back Royale on the cement ledge, or Tyler Huston’s Tru Fishbrain. Everyone did an amazing job! Congrats to Zach for taking home first. Later that night, it was straight to the MacBook with Scotty Swemba by my side to work on the first Be-Mag live update.

David Sizemore, the winner of Panhandle Pow Wow 2011.

Gumby didn’t land this but was a valiant attempt at one of the largest and scariest drops you can find around Kona Skatepark..off the vert ramp?!

Although I didn’t catch this guys name, He was shredding the street course during the Am division so well I had to catch this full cab alley pop top soul.

Another name I regret not getting, this guy was killing this box with a lot of tricks and this solid AO fish.
