The only thing unmellow about the Pool Contest yesterday was the serious ripping going down. At 2pm when the Contest was supposed to start, neither skaters or crowd were on site. Then around 3pm, they all descended in mellow troves, Tuborgs and spliffs in hand. We made it through some Jams before the rain turned it into a big chillfest under the trees. Check out more photos from Neal Hendrix and HiDefJoe's video recap in another episode of On The Boardr. Get results as they come in on the Results Page and view the updated schedule and how the rain-out adjustment worked here.

Marsielle local Julien Benoliel has been one of Europe's gnarliest pool skaters for years.
Overview of the choas.
Who knew Europe has Monster girls also!!??
The "awesome" tattoo is definitely referencing his buddy's beard.
Nobody wore pads in the contest, but little dudes in the crowd had hockey helmets.
Austin Poynter made the highest air of the day, but unfortunately it took a few tries and this one was after time in his heat.

They've got photos and an episode of On The Boardr to make you feel like you where right here with us if you aren't able to make it here.

It wasn't long before Raven Tershy, Ronnie Sandoval, Greyson Fletcher, and more were dropping jaws in that thing.
