Also, this past weekend was the King of the Groms 5th Qualifier at Progressive Skatepark. We are very proud to say that our very own Team rider, Blaine Partridge, placed 3rd in the Expert Street Finals! This is a huge feat, considering that all the best 12 and under skateboarders from around the country come out to skate this contest.

Way to go Blaine!
