TIM BRAUCH MEMORIAL SKATE CONTEST!
CONGRATS goes out to our own team rider, CODY CHAPMAN, who went up against the likes of Curren Caples, and Nic and Tristan ("The Twins"), in the street heat and still came out with the 4th place winning spot! Great job Cody! In an effort to step up the comp, Cody climbed the fence and acid dropped onto a 1/4 pipe to kick start his run - something we had never seen before! Sage placed 7th in the street comp while facing some serious competitors. Drake ended up not riding in the contest because of an ankle injury he got the night before. Special thanks to Drake and family for hanging out with us to support the team and event!

Sunday's main bowl event was off the hook with some of the top pro riders coming in from all over to ride in this year's event. The TBM main event had a locals’ pre-qualifier double round heat that was sure to blow the doors off anything we had seen so far. Cody begged us to enter him into this heat, so he could contribute to the mayhem while flying our colors. So, we did; and he hung in there, pulling air after air, making it down to the final group showing us he can hang with the big kids anytime, anywhere. This day went to Curren Caples, who again took top local spot for blasting airs only pros twice his age can land! Congrats to all the riders, companies, families and people in general that came out to support this year’s event. Special thanks to Sessions and the Tim Brauch Foundation for having us be a part history in the making!

Street Division - Grom Winners:
1 Curren Caples
2 Nic Puehse    
3 Tristan Puehse           
4 Cody Davidson Chapman
