GetABoard Best Trick Skate Contest at Orlando Live Events

Orlando Live Events hosted GetABoard's free skateboard contest in Casselberry, Florida.
Orlando Live Events is the new rebranded name for the old Jai Alai arena. Recently painted and with a new marketing director, the event space was perfect for a skateboard competition.
The venue was great for spectators as there is stadium seating and big soft chairs and couches on the floor.

There were a few different obstacles for a few different Best Trick awards.  The ground was ultra smooth and made for a great Longest Powerslide contest to open the event.  On of our team skaters, Manny, took first place, powersliding the longest out of everyone in the building!!!

Manny sliding into first place!

Manny also took 2nd place on an obstacle, taking home ton's of swag and getting to represent his sponsors.
