Last Saturday I worked at the Union Hills Classic Skate Competition at Foothills Skate Park. It is a very exciting event because there are a lot of people who are passionate about skating and this competition is the chance for them to show off what they have been practicing.
I worked in the registration are before the start of the event. Even though there were signs posted indicating which line participants were suppose to wait in so they can receive their competition packet there were quite a bit people who were very confused.
For those who don't know much about skate competitions, here is the run-down of the event:
Participants are split into divisions based on their age and gender. They are given an allotted amount of time to perform their various tricks around the skate park and are judged by how well they perform the tricks and how difficult they are. After everyone in their division has competed then there is a "jam" where all of the participants in the division skate around the park performing tricks for last minute points.
1st, 2nd and 3rd place is awarded in each division and the winners are given trophies and winners goodies. All and all the event was great and I had fun working.

Hey Steph!
ReplyDeleteI was at church camp in Prescott the weekend of the Skate Competition so I didn't get to go, but a few people from Foothills went and they seemed to think it went well. My only question is - who were the judges? Just cool skater people? Younger people? Older people?
I'm planning to help they the Serve Day tomorrow and Touch a Truck on the 28th. Maybe I'll see you around.
