Elder E-Rocks Grom Jam

Last saturday was Elder E-Rocks grom jam and if there was a good day to pick to have a comp it would have been that day. This was my first day living in Salt Lake City and even I was skeptical the grom session would even happen. As I walked out to see what the forecast looked like I was in disbelief that the snow was already here. But knowing how hardcore the salt lake locals are I was sure this was just a minor bump in the road. Billy "beast master" Anderson and Erik Neilson built a box the night before as a warm up spot but as the weather showed us that skating any street was not a possibility it ended up being the "Spot".
There wasn't the biggest turnout with the weather being so crappy but everyone who did show up was in high hopes of winning that prize money. Finally after an hour of warming up and me complaining about getting the comp started Erik finally got things together and began the comp. Just so everyone knows we ended up putting the box underneath a bridge so the snow was in no way affecting our skating but holy crap it was cold.
Some of the people that stuck out the most in my mind were Jeff Stanger with his ill jew steeze,Tj Tregeagle,Chris Oplin,Kaycee Landsaw and of course the flyin Hawaiian Chris Napolean. Everyone threw down some awesome tricks but in the end Tj Tregeagle ended up taking the cash and the twelve pack of diet coke donated by awesome rollerblader groupie Tiffany Jackson.
Unfortunately E-Rock couldn't make it to the after party with him being mormon and all, but man oh man was it a hoot. I can't wait for next year!!! Photos provided by Billy Anderson
