BOWL-A-RAMA: Carving up the concrete

10:36 am on 2 February 2015

We went down to Wellington’s Waitangi Park over the weekend to check out BOWL-A-RAMA, one of the biggest events in local skateboarding.

BOWL-A-RAMA founder Chad Ford said this year’s event – tagged “Shut Up and Create” - was more open, friendly and inclusive. “It's not the traditional competition [with] runs, divisions, things like that. We've refocused things this year to make sure that there’s an event happening at all.”

RESULTS

Best Trick: Shaun Boucher Best Run: Bowman Hansen

Best Local Rider: Mike Bancroft

Longest Boardslide: Pat Ngoho (USA)

Best Lee Ralph Impression: Lee Ralph, with an honourable mention to James McInnes
