2017 King Of The Square

by Manual Magazine

Posted 27 Nov 2017

A few weekends back Christchurch played host to the second annual King of The Square competition at Cathedral Square.

Along with the prize pool increasing, there was an increase in the calibre of skating that went down! Many travelled from around the country, but on the day it was Yorlin Phillips who came out on top. See the following images and video for a glimpse of what unfolded.
