In its third time hosting the Gatorade Free Flow Tour, 4 Seasons Skatepark knew the drill and did not disappoint. Many local rippers showed up and just as many skaters travelled here for a chance at winning a spot in the finals.
Top six from 4 Seasons Skatepark
With the sun beaming outside, things got under way inside with the Junior Jam. The little ones had no problem turning on the heat inside as well. A total of 17 skaters were split into three heats and then cut down to a six “little” man final. Max Brown managed to take third place with a 50/50 on the flat ledge, an ollie down the 5 set and a f/s board slide down the A Frame. Coming in second was Adam Hill with a nose stall revert bank to wall, a fakie bigspin into wedge and a pop shuv-it off the Gatorade Kicker. After coming in a close second a couple of weeks back at Warp Skatepark, Matt Buhrt figured out how to squeeze into that No. 1spot, with a feeble down the 5 rail, backside 50/50 and a backside 5-0 down the hubba and a front side 180 down the 5 stair.

The Open Division started off with seven heats, which was cut down to a semi of 12 skaters and then cut down again to a final heat of six. It became the battle of Wisconsin vs. Illinois, with three skaters representing each state. Mitch Schmidt landed in sixth with a feeble to fakie to ledge and a f/s blunt slide on the top of the box. Jordan Meadows found himself in fifth place with a lipslide body varial down the rail. In fourth place was our youngest competitor in the Open Division – 13-year-old London Davis – with a double flip over almost everything in sight, a hardflip to flat over the A Frame and a f/s bigspin over the Gatorade Kicker. Brad Monte found himself in third, and on the podium, with a switch 270 nose blunt on the top rail, and noseslide and a tailslide down the tall hubba. The local favorite, Andre Colbert, came in a close second with a 270 frontboard down the A frame, a switch noseslide down the hubba and a back lip pole jam. In the battle of the states, Illinois won it all with Miles Canevello taking first place. He did it with a kickflip f/b down the red rail, nollie nosegrind on the A frame and a gap 5-0 across the wall ride.
“Salt Lake City is one of the sickest places on Earth. I am definitely super hyped to have another chance to compete in the Gatorade Free Flow Finals there.” – Miles Canevello
