C.A.S.L. Competition in Marina, CA November 7, 2009

CASL held our last regular skate competition in Marina, CA.  The have a skate park with a teen center connected to it that's pretty sick.  You can check it out here:

I'm in the bottom right picture in the middle.

I placed 3rd in this competition.  And I scored $50 bucks for landing a trick my dad asked me to add to my run!  I can definitely use the extra money.  I also won a new deck:

After the competition was our annual awards dinner.  I was surprised to find out that I made 5th place overall for the 2009 year.  I only just joined in September so that was pretty cool.  There are some great skaters in my division so I was excited to even place for the  year since I started so late.

Best of all, I qualified for CASL's STATE GAMES at Camp woodward West in December.  I have always wanted to go there so I'm really excited about that.

My friend Evelyn Abad came for the day to get some footy of my runs and support me.  It's great having friends who are passionate about the sport of skateboarding and can understand why all you want to do in your free time is skate, skate, SKATE!

Here we are outside the City of Marina's banquet facility, waiting for the awards ceremony to start.
