Battle at Hastings Recapitated

Life / Skate

 

Zion

Nothing short of 'amazing' to describe a contest this ripping, at a park as old as many of its spectators. Despite all time spent at our beloved bowl, it was the neighbours to the south that shined brighter than them all, taking the top spots at the end of the day. Not to say that the performances by locals Stevie Denham, Adam Hopkins, Chris Steggles, Ace Sugimoto, Alex Chalmers and others were anything short of... (yup), Amazing!

Steggles

"Clear out, I'm going to blast over this fence make sure no kids get in the way" —moments before crushing a speedline to BS 360 tailgrabbing our of the bowl.

Chalmers


Code-man, Alien, et al


Quinn, a true starr.
