Good morning, we get here at 7am to set up.
Justin is your Head Judge and jack of all trades like many of us have to be to at The Boardr.
A quick staff circle and we're ready to roll.
The Red Bull ride!
Check Justin Bishop's profile for an explanation of how he uses a beeper box to help him figure out when to pop.
Thanks again to the adaptive community and crew for coming to support another GFL Series. Y'all are killing it.
The raffle tickets are in demand. Proceeds to the Grind for Life Charity, a 501(c)(3) that assists cancer patients with travel expenses to get to the care they need.

It's going to be fun watching Camden grow up from here. He's got a good dose of that special style and board control that usually leads to being an incredible adult skateboarder. Looking damn good out there, Camden!

First place in the ripping lunch division goes to Sword and Spoon.
It's almost like this is a picture of an Instagram feed with people judging you and using their microphone for callout culture, except we're not jerks. That's your judging staff and announcer, Mikah. Thanks for putting in the detailed concentration work it takes to do this job for 12+ hours on contest day.
It's a wrap! This time, before the sun went down.
