Chris Cole’s judo three was just a small part of his $2000 trickery tonight.
The Crossroads Best Trick was jam session after jam session as the packed house moved through the Blackbox skatepark to get the best angle on the features. It started with the stairs, moved to the barrels, and then to the water gap open, the water gap with a rainbow, and the water gap with a flat bar. The skating was non-stop.
At one point we heard Christian Hosoi turn to Dave Duncan and say, “I don’t know how they can slam so many times and not be hurt.” We couldn’t have agreed more. Then Dave replied matter-of-factly, “They’re kids!”
By 9:40 PM when Jamie Thomas began handing out the cash it was pretty obvious that the crowd agreed with the results. Andrew Pott got $1,000 on the stars, Ke’Chaud Johnson took home $2,000 on the barrel jump (14 barrels), edging out Slash and Danny Scher who both got 13 barrels, Tyler Hendley took $1,000 on the water gap and Chris Cole got a big $2,000 paycheck for winning.
