BOWL-A-RAMA 2010: BACK TO BACK

Posted by David Read on Saturday February 13 2010

Pedro Barros, McTwist No.1

I know it says David Read up top but this actually Caleb posting, so don’t be expecting any animated gif’s cos my camera don’t shoot that quick. I do have a few stills though (thanks Fred for watching my bag) and the theme of the day would have to be “back to back”. Back to back backside tailslides, back to back nollies, back to back inverts, and of course, back to back McTwists. 14 year old Brazillian Pedro Barros owned the show and schooled the other chaps with some crazy lines and next level padless bowl madness. Enough from me anyway I’m sure Dave has more.

    Fear not Jaded, there is more to come. We happen to be busy making a new issue (which is more time consuming than you can imagine) and will tend to the content in due time. Significant it was, memorable and essential are also words that come to mind too.
