éS Game of SKATE — Tampa, FL, August 10, 2009
On August 10, 2009, the éS Game of SKATE held a game at Skatepark of Tampa in Tampa, Florida. It's always a good time at SPoT especially when Brian Schaeffer and Ryan Clements are in attendance commentating throughout the day.
The game was held inside the park where 208 skaters signed up to play. Getting started just after 6pm made it our latest game yet with games of SKATE still going on after 10pm.
During the early rounds we could tell that the game was going to be intense with so many skaters killing it, but after some long and tough games of SKATE the finalists were Aaron Collier, PJ Castellano and Alex Brawley.
Aaron Collier was eliminated first, so PJ and Alex were the only two left. Alex was giving PJ a run for his money, but PJ's consistency and pop won in the end. Alex finally lost to a nollie backside flip making PJ Castellano the winner. Congratulations to PJ and special thanks to everyone at Skatepark of Tampa!
