Convoy Skateboards hosted the “Battle of the Pryamid,” a trick competition this weekend in Arlington, VA.
Convoy says they are dedicated to portraying the best possible image for skateboarding. The company is about giving back to an industry that gave so much to the founders as they grew up. It is not about having the best “skate team” and not about blowing other companies out of the water, but its main mission is to promote fundamental skateboarding and create the best products with the following qualities; fresh and new designs, a positive attitude, and overall quality and performance, but most of all, promote having fun while doing the thing you love; skateboarding!
After spending a couple of hours at the event I would have to say they have succeeded. The event had a great vibe. The judges, crowd, and other skateboarders cheered on the competitors. I am looking forward to the next event.
Here are the results from Saturday:
ADVANCED
1st Place – Brandon Bonner (Pop-shuvit tail grab to flat, stale-fish 180 to flat, cannonball)
2nd Place – John Franco (Kickflip backside 5-0 to shuvit out)
3rd Place – Eric Johnson (Krazy flippy flips!)
INTERMEDIATE
1st Place – Graham Marsh
2nd Place – Gregg Russell
3rd Place – Mathew Amgrogi
BEGINNER
1st Place – Coco
2nd Place – Yves Pailma
3rd Place – Carson Brom & Matt Magnolia (2-way Tie!)
