OG Jam Series Results, Stop#1 2013

The 2013 Old Guy Jam Series started off the year with a nice Jam session under cloudy skies in San Diego. The Mission Valley YMCA hosted the bowl contest and a bunch of great sponsors kicked down some prizes for about 30 competitors. Almost 10 in each division of 30-39, 40-49, and 50+. This time I think the 50+ could easily compete against everyone else. Eddie Dan and Dave really battled it out with some intense skating in that division. Rich Sanchez stood out in the 40-49 division because he was just plainly better and had incredible endurance. Garry Shuck was not too shabby either flying all over the place.  Kevin Burke showed how he ‘do it’! Rising to the top of the 30-39 utilizing the whole bowl with flow and mighty tricks. Steve Badillo, Brian Lynch and Mike Perez had a 1.5 point difference between the three of them so it was closer then fleas on a dog for 2-4 place.
