All:
I can't thank everyone enough for helping make the Casper Classic 2 a success: Bobby "Casper" Boyden, Frank Lee, Mike Foster, Al Garcia, Michael Stine and Crew, Matt Brown, Dan Gesmer, Russ Howell, The Staton Family, The Barrios Family, Steve Day, Laura Thornhill, Heidi Lemmon, Daryl Grogan, The Carrasco Family, Primo Desiderio, The Pope Family, The Douville Family, Gunter Mokulys, The Synnott Family, The Robertson Family, Lynn Cooper, Carlos Lastras, Francis Lavallee, Witter Cheng, John Leathers, Daniel Trujillo, Aaron Lasnover, Andy Terbovich, Sean Myers, our DJ. Sorry if I missed anyone.
Also, thanks to the sponsors (Casper Industries, Sk8Kings, XNE, CowboyPunk, Navigator, Direction, ConcreteWave Magazine, Sheraton, BulletStream Technologies) of the event, and the companies who made it possible for their riders to participate (Reverse Freestyle, Capital, Outlook, Seismic, Oust, Food, etc.) Sorry if we missed anyone.
The skating was amazing, both during and outside of competition. But, the company we kept was even better. It was so good to see everyone again. The freestyle dinners were filled with an amazing cast of skateboaridng legends and champs, past and present.
I sincerely hope that word will continue to spread about what our community is trying to achieve, and that our hard work as a team and our networking will lead to the support of more and bigger opportunities in the future, providing the flatland freestyle skateboarding community with various avenues for those who wish to compete while providing various other opportunities for those who do not. The end result is that we not only want to preserve and honor a piece of skateboarding's history. We want to see it thrive, push progression, and make sure that we have the backing from a financial and technological perspective to make it happen. For those kids who live several miles from the nearest skateable obstacle, we want to make sure that even they have an opportunity to excel at skateboarding.
Enclosed is an updated list of the contest results. I was just informed that the video footage will be made available by end of week.
