Skate Competition

REPLAY shooting- A replay is a page of pictures in the Sunday sports section, no story just captions and pictures.  I heard about this competition when I was Embasi Skate Shop in Lebanon buying hardware for my longboard. It was all I had to shoot today so I spent a good amount of time here. 
The third annual Embasi Skateboard Competition brought out over 40 skaters to the Lebanon Skate Park for a full day of comepetition on flatland as well as pipe. 
Luke Franco broke his board during the semi-finals of the advanced flatland competition, luckily for him a fellow skater let him borrow his board so he could complete the competition.
After completing 31 consecutive kick flips, surpassing the previous high score of 14, Kevin Wilkes fell on his 32nd attempt.  His score was not beaten making him the kick flip challenge winner. 
The host and MC of the event, Keith Dillon dumps a box of skating stickers to a frenzied crowd.  Wheels, hardware, tools, and t-shirts were also given away by Embasi and Vans.
Skaters gathered in front of the half pipe to grab for free merchandise. 
For the big air challenge, skaters attempted their best trick while flying over a Red Bull Cooler. 
John Hough fell 11 times trying to complete a trick for the big air challenge, he refused to give up and on the 12th try he stuck the landing.
