GREG LUTZKA WINS SECOND SLAM CITY MEN'S STREET TITLE IN THREE YEARS
CALGARY (Sunday, August 27th,2006) ––
American professional Greg Lutzka, a 21- year-old X Games star from
Huntington Beach, California, captured his second Slam City Jam men's
Street title in three years by finishing first in front of a near
capacity crowd at the Calgary Corral at Stampede Park.
Lutzka
took home $15,000 in first-place prize money by scoring 94.50 points
and edging out Chad Bartie of Australia, who finished second with 86.25
points and earned $9,000.
The Calgary crowd, which
totalled more than 22,000 in cumulative attendance over six sessions
and three days of men's and women's Street and Vert competition at
Stampede Park, was wowed by impressive performances by a series of
Canadian amateurs who qualified for the big show with their efforts in
the DC Nationals and Es Game of Skate Friday.
Leading the
way were Ryan DeCenzo of Delta, B.C. and Magnus Hanson of Surrey, B.C.
Decenzo finished third with 85.00 points while Hanson was fourth with
82.25. Sascha Daley of Courtenay, B.C., the 19-year-old who won the DC
Nationals amateur championships Friday, placed eighth in the men's
Street competition.
More than 100 top skateboarders
competed in the 13th Slam City Jam, held in Calgary for the first time
after 12 years in Vancouver. Competitions included the DC Nationals,
the Es Game of Skate, the Slam City men's and women's Vert and the Slam
City men's and women's Street, along with a demonstration Friday night
by international skateboarding icon Tony Hawk and his Grand Jam.
