Skateboard Competition in Strathmore
by Sarah Coulson
On April 28th Terri Finnegen, Zorian Klomochko and Myself took 11 boys to Strathmore for a Skateboard competition. The event was held to raise money for a new outdoor skateboard park in Strathmore and promote the sport of skateboarding. It was hosted by the Strathmore skateboard team called Epic. They did a really good job and everything went smoothly. Zorian and myself judged and did music while Terri turned into team photographer.
We had 4 of our Langdon Skateboard team members compete in the competition. They were Lanny S, Tyler H, Evan L and Colby G. They all skated well and tried hard with a lot of people watching. Out of around 20 people in the younger age category, Colby placed 3rd, won some prizes and even won some money for being one of the only ones wearing a helmet!! Good job!!
I would like to thank Team Epic for inviting us to the event, treating us with a BBQ and hosting an awesome skateboarding competition. Congratulations to all the winners.
Come out during Langdon Days for the 1st Langdon skateboard competition being put on by the Langdon Skateboard Team. Contact Sarah for more information 681-4999.
