Burton Scrap Metal 2008

Hey

Wow, this weekend was epic! It was the 2nd stop for the Burton Scrap Metal and it came to Braehead, Xscape. The park was amazing and the best feature had to be the Down Flat Down, this was great fun and there were some great tricks being put down on it.

I got off to a good start in the jam session and after trying a 50-50 to front 270 on the down flat down for like 6 runs, I finally managed to land it, it was a great feeling as it was a new trick for me.

The riding was a high standard and there were over 60 competitors, the set up was great and there was even a skip at the bottom of the slope, a great feature and it looked to be a hit for the night.

The qualification was read out and I was in the final, I was so stoked.  My first run went well and I landed an epic of a run getting the 50-50 to frontside 270 on the down flat down but the second run didn’t go as well after I caught my edge after the down rail.

This was a great final and everyone was tired afterwards. I got a great result picking up the 1st prize overall.

Thanks Burton for the great comp!

Take care

Jamie
