UKSA Champs - The dust settles.....
Written by Kevin Parrott
"We can't thank everyone enough for the support over this weekend"
The turnout at the Uk's first UKSA Champs included more of the UK's pro's and am's than I personally have seen in a long time at an event.
Without those guys and the amazing crowd making all the noise they could on the day, this event wouldn't have gone off with such a banging first year.
We've got to thank Vans , Relentless , Independent Trucks , Flip Skateboards , Casio G-Shock , Skullcandy , Tech Deck and Protec for their support, too. They've been invaluable over the past months whilst we organise this.
Congratulations to Chris Oliver, Sam Beckett, Paul Luc-Ronchetti, Claire Alleaume and the rest of the folk who managed to take the £10,000 purse off of our hands.
The cheers of appreciation for the skaters at the National Championships this weekend are still ringing in my ears as the media begins to roll on and do what they do best...
