SHOOT TO THRILL OPENS “DIGITAL DIVISION” + $2000.00 BEST PHOTO PRIZE FOR BOTH AMS AND PROS!

In addition to the Digital category prize, all photographers who want to submit their photos are eligible to win the $2000 prize for Best Photo.

Underworld News and Events: Lets Play S.K.A.T.E." VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS IN VANCOUVER, BC
By: UnderworldShop

The first UNDERWORLD skate event of the summer went down this past weekend. The contest was a Game of Skate on ledges presented by ADDICT clothing. The contest was relocated from Granville Street to under the Cambie Bridge due to rain. Luckily enough the Vancouver scene is a tight community and all the heads showed up anyway. The qualifiers were very intense, and the skaters very consistent. The most outstanding game was Bradley Sheppard vs. Spencer Hamilton - they probably threw down 30 to 40 tricks first try (no joke), it was completely ridiculous. Bradley ended up beating Spencer and moved into the final round against Paul Trep and Magnus Hanson. The crowd was silenced while the final 3 skaters battled for the 300$ winner takes all offered by ADDICT clothing. Bradley Sheppard was the first out and then Paul Trep got beat out leaving Magnus Hanson as the big champ of the day.

After the Game Of SKATE we had a Best Trick Contest on the elevated ledge brought by the SweatshopSkate Park.

Here’s some of the highlights of the best tricks:

Spencer Hamilton: Kick Flip bs nose grind big spin out

Ryan Bonnell heel flip bs lip

Paul Trep Fakie five – 0 360 shove it out

And the winners were:

Mike Vince Switch smith fs big spin out

Scott Decenzo fakie crook half cab flip out
