Downhill skateboarding is alive and well in South Africa. Ross went down to SA to get his final credit to graduate and ended up with a bunch of new friends as well. A big thanks to Koffie Jacobs and Core Surf Gear in Jeffrey’s Bay!
Despite being on the mend, Jackson Shapiera rallied the local boys and the Hopkins shop groms for a day in the 9-Ball Van. Cold in the US means its skating season in Australia, so Jacko and the crew are everywhere!
Edge Boardshop in Colombia brought everyone together for a great contest and Sector 9 had an epic showing!
Juliano Casemiro, AKA " La Leyenda", won the race last year but still kept it fast in the rain for this years event.
Gustavo Paredes Mena of Peru is the newest Junior on the scene and he is making his mark. He is currently leading the IGSA Juniors series, watch for a lot more from this kid!
Reine Oliveira from Brazil got 2nd in the Women's Division and won the Slide Comp. Congrats Reine!!
The Downhill Division took Calgary by storm for the 2012 IGSA World Championships at Winsport. Our band of hooligans didn't pull out the win, but they sure won the party! High-Fives to Daniel Luna, Louis Pilloni, Chance Gaul, Jeff Budro, Matt Kienzle, and thanks to Gabe Gwynne and Jackson Shapiera for the film/edit.
