Last weekend, we were able to attend the first of many Rat Skate Tour competitions that was held at the Lewisville TX skate park. This event marked our first outing to an event that was 100% dedicated to the skateboarders. It was definitely for us a new experience, which made for a great series of photo-grabbing, video-shooting, and running around like youthful rebels.
Just to see how big and collective the skateboarding community is here in Texas certainly brings a new life to our journey and traveling.
Here’s Brian riding off the bowl!
And following up is Andrew seemingly surfing the air, or landing on someone’s head, if we’re looking at the photo.
Through out the afternoon and evening, the Rat Skate tour was putting it down through all these heat sessions where skaters would be pitted against each other to perform tricks and move to the next round.
And even if the skaters weren’t there to compete, there were more than one area to enjoy skateboarding all together.
We also met up with many great local skateboarders, one being Weston!
We even ran into friends from back in our town, Longview TX, at the show, such as Lora!
You can’t host a nice event without sponsors, such as the Metro PCS street team.
We have the GFive (created by Crit and Josh Kiley) crew representing for their brand and team!
