The Gatorade Free Flow Tour stopped in at Skate City in Las Vegas for the first time in Tour history today. While the temps soared over 100 degrees outside, the air-conditioned park allowed the skaters to keep their cool and destroy every inch of the course.
Starting things off first were the Junior Jammers. After four opening heats, the judges selected their top five for a final jam to decide the winners. First went to Gilbert Estrada with a kickflip front board on the bank to rail, frontside flip over the pyramid, tre flip over the hip and fakie bigspin up the euro gap.

After the young guns cleared the course, we got right into the Open Division. Third place went to Antonio Moya, who was flying all over the course utilizing every feature in his path with a tuck knee over the jump box, kickflip indy over the jump box, big Christ air transfer and a lip slide on the flat bar. Second went to Adrian McCoy with a tail slide to fakie on the red rail, bigspin board slide on the red rail, switch heel over the pyramid and a tre flip up the euro.
Taking home the trophy and trip to the SLC Finals was Anthony Estrada, who stomped nearly everything he tried including an over-krook on the red rail, tail 270 out on the bank to rail, full cab heel over the pyramid, massive backside heel to flat on the pyramid’s big side, nose blunt red rail, cab 270 board slide on the bank to rail and a cab heel nose slide on the bank to rail.
“I’m so happy I won this, I’ve been getting ready for this event, I wanted that trophy!” – Anthony Estrada
