Let me just state that when it comes to Vegas theres really not much to say except that its always a party there and this last weekend was no different. Every big name professional was in town im sure not only to skate in one of the years biggest competition but to also have nothing but a good time in while in the city of sin. I don't know who was in charge of putting the competition on Halloween but I feel as if maybe this deterred alot of people from showing up to competition to spectate. Luckily the skaters who were competing did not dissapoint, everyone skated very hard in the semi-finals and finals all throughout the night.
People like Brian Aragon and Alex Broskow pulled out some technical stunts. But yet again the french were in the house to show us american whats up yet again just as they did in california. It was not only the french who came out though, there were also some big names from Australia too such as Rian Arnold who showed us that dressing like a fag can make you skate really good(only joking...sort of) but the one who does nothing but amaze me was of course up and comer/future of rollerblading/asshole was CJ Wellsmore who personally is gonna be giving chris haffey a run for his money pretty soon. There was of course legend Brian Shima who skated really well against his own team haha he killed it and I will tell you being a fan for such a long time it really inspired me to make sure that I just need to have fun skating and not care about anything else.
Jerf Stockwell was there and he is for some reason always unappreciated even though he deserved to win. Watching him gave me goosebumps throughout the night because I know how technical he can be and this night was no different. I feel the results should have been a little different with Stockwell taking first,Cj in second,Brian in third but what does my opinion matter. Sucks Chris haffey ended up injured for the night but before that he was straight up killing it. Then of course at the end of the night there was some partying and some more skating and more partying and thats all I pretty much look forward to in the city of sin.
Sorry this was so long but words can't describe how epic this trip was.
