man I go to this shit in cary, pay 15 bucks for entry plus like 8 more for mandatory pad rental. I do my runs, throw out some pretty ill shit, a couple of miracles and whatever. The judges were all psyched like "yeah you did good those tricks were nice".
The prizes went as follows 1st 500, 2nd 300, 3rd 200
I was pretty positive I had that shit on lock. Now here's the twist.
The lady who owns "board to death" skateshop was the sole contributor for the prize pool, right out of her own pocket.
Her scrubby ass son who was doing early grabs and just a bunch of lame ass shit, he gets third.
Some asshole who didnt do shit but carve around got second.
And then some jackass who lurks at the shop and did a bunch of handplants and gay shit gets first.
I can say with confidence I overall did better than any of those bitches. I'd be happy to see anyone but them place. But thats just the way it is. Fuck a contest.

life isn't fair. probably four years ago everyone from the coliseum entered the fall brawl contest(new englands biggest contest) and everyone either got eliminated for doing something wrong like colin fiske who kickflipped from some eight foot qp over a gap into the crowd. i can't think of who at the moment but they got dq'ed for taking their helmet off in the middle of their run for a single trick. one of the shop owners got kicked out because he smashed a guitar someone gave him because everyone was getting dq'ed. heres the catch, the contest judges were all on eastern boarder and they hated our shop. fucked up? yes but that is life

it probably didnt help that I talk shit about all the wack motherfuckers who skate around here, but still, its not fair!
and I dont usually do contests, they're fucking stupid, but 500 dollars? shit, thats' not bad at all.

You should have kicked their asses and stole their money, Greg would have had your back.

500? the one i am talking about is 2 grand for first prize and anyone who is anyone is in the contest and this happened right after pj ladds whl came out so we can only assume they hated the shop because everyone on the team was on something and from what i hear some of the old eb guys are huge sponsor me rats

well this was just some random shit, weren't any pros or anything, thats why I was so sure I could take it

Wait, are we talking street plants, millerflips, or legit inverts?

miller flip type of thing, not a legit invert, I will give some credit to that guy because he did some ok shit, but the other two were just handed the money on a platter

shut the fuck up mizzurk, you know you sucked cock and those shitty kids owned your ass with their fakie big spins and tic tacs.

I really wish they would have skated ten times better than me so I wouldnt be so pissed off
-
Well I think being the best skater in a contest and not even placing amongst a bunch of losers, who win decent money, is a hilarious situation. It could've been on an episode of Sk8.
-
seaholm alert!
-
contests are for the queer
-
what was your run?
-
Contest that make you wear pads are weak as fuck and they suck ever more for charging to rent pads for you to skate in it. How gay is that? I would've just ask for my money back and it seems like from the results of how it turned out you should've done it.
-
wuz lutzka there to reap all tha cash
-
what was your run?
I only landed 4 or 5 tricks each run, but they were good tricks in my opinion. I think it was judged based on quantity over quality.
-
FUCK YEAH !!!! FUCK YEAH!!
-
FUCK YEAH !!!! FUCK YEAH!!
look I really wanted a few hundred dollars ok

dang, I got second in a local contest just yesterday. but the first place winner definitely deserved it. and I only won 50 bucks and a deck, but it was a small contest with some friends from shops just backing it and giving product.
-
you guys want to hear my line? okay here goes!
back five-o a long box, pop shuv on some bank, fakie five-oh front shove on the long box, turn around, frontside five-o fakie on a quarter pipe, trun around like a jackass, front feeble the handrail, smith gring on a bump to picnic table thing, messed up on a backside 180 nosegrind on the long box. the end.
the only reason I got second is cuz I was consistent though. everybody was going all out, and messed up on at least 3 tricks per run (aside from the 1st place winner.) I was just cruise skating and it worked out.
-
what's your opinion about contests? i enter on a regular basis and sometimes do good, sometimes not. but what's better, doing an run where you cruise around, using all the course but the tricks are less hard or just mainly focusing on one or two objects, like handrail and ledge; and landing less but slightly harder tricks?
-
well let's put it this way: I entered a contest a few years back, landed a few tricks on a bunch of obstacles, even skated some tranny. A little kid hucked himself off of a huge gap for his entrire run and landed 1 ollie. and guess who won? actually, i didn't even place. it was bullshit though. i guess it depends. i'd prefer a well-rounded run using all the obstacles with medium/hard-difficulty tricks.

you'd have lost miserably without any early grabs or bonelesses in your run
-
going off the fact that who ever was judging didnt know shit about skating, they prolly saw you fall a few times and picked someone who didnt fall at all in their run
id prolly do the same if i had absolutely zero knowledge

dude these niacin capsules are making me sweat balls and itch

entering comps? why?

entering comps? why?
MONEY

MONEY
seems like this is the same reason that you hate on so many pro's for? maybe?
-
i wasn't planning on entering but my friend convinced me to...it was just for fun. kinda like playing skate! and yeah, no flips. the park sucks, and it was an "off-the-top-of-my-head" kinda run.
-

No you're just wrong right here.
I hate on some pros for their skating, not for making money. It's not like I signed up with mountain dew to enter this shit either.
-
entering comps? why?
fun. most of the time it's a session with friends.
-
man...contest judges never know what's up...why? cause it's a pain in the ass job....by the end of the day you're just like...'fuck it..pick that guy...yeah..yeah...he's good...'
-
yea i was there 2 and also entered and mizzark did really well i saw the lady go up and tell the judges that the kid who did early grabs who is sponsored by the shop that the judges had to put them in the top 3 shit was wack
-
hi, this is justin, one of the judges from sunday's contest in cary. first off, the only reason mark thompson didn't win or even come close to placing is because he skated like shit. kickflip over a pyramid? what the fuck is that? when i judge a contest i want to see some fucking carves. you ripped skateboarding off of surfing anyway and last time i checked, surfers weren't doing kickflips. anything else doesn't get judged by me. hate me all you want but the contest is over and you're still broke.
-
Hi. This is Jason. I was also there at the contest. Personally I was offended by the way the judges were molesting little boys after the comp, and getting away with it. Oh well. Next time.
