RAIN, RAIN, AND MORE RAIN. FOR SOME REASON THAT HAS BEEN THE ONLY CONSTANT IN COLORADO FOR A COULPLE WEEKS. A TWO DAY DOWNPOUR LEFT US IN A SCRAMBLE TO SECURE AN INDOOR LOCATION AND MAKE SURE THE WORD WAS OUT THAT THE GAME WAS STILL ON! AFTER PHONE CALLS FROM A DISGRUNTLED MOTHER AND THE ONE HOUR OF CHAOS KNOWN AS REGISTRATION, WE HEADED DOWN THE STREET TO THE REFUGE INDOOR SKATEPARK.

ALTHOUGH SOME WERE SCARED OFF BY THE RAIN, ABOUT 50 PARTICIPANTS AND SPECTATORS TRAVELED FROM AS FAR AS SOUTH DENVER FOR THE OCCASION. ONCE WE GOT THE RULES OUT OF THE WAY, IT WAS ON!

JAMIE FROM SOLE TECH AND DLXSF HEADED UP TO GREELEY TO SHOW HIS SUPPORT AND LEND A HAND IN JUDGING. CHAD (NOT PICTURED) FROM GIRL AND FALLEN WAS OUR OTHER GUEST JUDGE. HUGE THANKS TO THESE GUYS!
