Oromocto Skate Park's Official Blog:::::

This week saw an out of province ripper take part in Showdown. Tyler Riddle was down visiting family from Trenton and decided to swing by the skatepark to see what the scene was like around here. He ended up diggin the park enough to come back a few times and on his last night in town, stopped in to play Showdown. With a pool of constant placers expected to show up, Tyler probably didn't think he would end up in the finals with former Trenton homeboiii TJ Leighton and O'Town local, Chris Walsh.

Chris pressure flipped his way to the final beating out Terry Scott, who currently sits in second place in the summer-long tournament. Chris reported his win with a big smile while Terry understandably drove home in silence listening to blaring heavy metal.

The finale ended up being something from The Berrics, with nollie tre flips, double varial and backside flips, and full on one foot landings. The game came down to T to T. Both skaters survived a third "last try" with TJ finally falling victim to an inward heelflip, a trick he had used to win last week's challenge from BK.

With this Showdown in the books, the results are as follows:
TJ Leighton 40 pts
Terrence Scott 21
Rodney Mann/Collin "Collywood" Williams/Chris Walsh 17 pts
BK 15 pts
Kyle Albright 12 pts

A million others at 1 pt


In other news, the UFC 2010 tournament went down tonight and ended up being a really fun time. We had a big screen and projector to digital fight on. Terry Scott went on to beat Mat Hinchey in the final 2 games to none in the best of 3 decider, both by submission with an arm triangle and an ankle lock. since it was such a success, we will be looking at doing similar events into the fall.
