Doors opened bright and early at 8 am and the contest began at 9:30 am. An hour and a half was all the skaters had to sort out their runs in the mystery park they had only pictured in their heads for the last few months. The heats were quick and smooth and props to all who skated. Every competitor gave it their all and for many it was their first contest of superstardom. Their very own photographer, filmer, and fans were all present in the home base of Savier’s dream team. Enlarged images of Brian Anderson *, Stefan Janoski, Brad Staba *, Jose Rojo, and Tim O’Connor served as silent motivation for these up and comers. They all knew this is where they have threw down in the past and now it was theirs for the day and the excitement showed. At 4:30 pm the last award was given out and every person in here left smiling and fulfilled. Perhaps it was the new street course Savier employees slaved over for the last three weeks, or the chance to check out the "exclusive" park in person, maybe it was the coke machine filled with Vanilla coke…whichever it was kids left here amazed and the unique contest environment offered much more to these am’s than a trophy from the early 80’s, they got some reassurance that being a skateboarder today is full of opportunity and fun times.

Savier’s local flow team competed in the factory sponsored division and the shop sponsored division. Jesse Bracewell took home first place and Phil Trotter got third in factory sponsored and Chris Stuker grabbed first in the shop sponsored division.
