Seven kids from KTR went out to King of the Groms Championships last weekend.  Jett Eaton, Jagger Eaton, Alana Smith, Augie Lerma, Armando Lerma, Tyson Zane, and Trey Wood.  The crew traveled to Minneapolis, Minnesota for the 3 day competition.  King of is one of the largest and most respected amateur skateboarding competitions.  Kids from all around the country compete in qualifying competitions throughout the year, hoping for a "golden ticket" to the Championships and a chance to be crowned "King of the Groms" for that year.  Yes, that's right, King, so if you are a girl, you are competing against the boys.   Click here for Full Results.

At the end of this weekend, if their would have been a Queen of the Groms, Alana would have been it.  But Alana is not looking for any free rides, so all I have to say is watch out boys!
