It has been more than just a contest – it has been a rendez-vous for all the kids that usually skate the park and the streets of Genoa. All the local riders were there – Lo Spesso, Alex Cageggi and his brother, Mathias Meloni, Apu, Ence, Andrea and the VRZZ crew, Branca, and so on, name them all will be too long! Also Ivan Federico spotted the bowl throwing some nice tricks with his usual style.

The feeling was super friendly, everybody was skating, having fun, and pushing each other.

The format of the contest was of single runs with a few skaters in it to let the riders skating all the street area of the park being sure to be noticed by judges. In the final run the best one resulted to be Kevin Duman, followed by Julio Ramirez and Apugayun Hampe.
