Happy Skateing!  See you there.

2009 King of the Groms- Results are In!

Anyone who survives a long contest weekend deserves mad props; whether skater, parent, judge, or announcer, 3 days is long!  And if you were one of the KTR skaters who left on Wednesday for the SkateLab in Simi Valley, that means twice as many pre-contest slams trying to get a feel for a brand new course!  But it paid off, as virtually every skater made it to the final.  Congrats to Jett Eaton who won Best Trick of the whole weekend at King of Groms.  Jett could barely walk due to an injury, but skated anyway, and pulled a McTwist in the verted bowl pocket!!  Heck Yeah Jett!  Congrats to everyone who made it to the Championships in 3rd Lair Minnesota.

Sneak Peak of What's to Come!

Kids That Rip is always trying to stay on the cutting edge for all; wether a dedicated athlete, inquiring guest, or regular spectator. Over the weekend, a new skateboard course will be added. Geoff has brought out the CA Ramp Works crew to erect 13 feet, 6 inches of vertical skatelite and another 42 feet in width for smooth riding.



By the way, Geoff took one for the team today.. shooting a nail through his hand! He calmly walked out saying, "I think I need a tetanus shot", and proceeded to the ER. Oouuch!





Oh yes, a new flow course and pole jam is being added for all you street addicts.


Moms, there is something for you too! For those of you who have been eagerly watching your sons and daughters skateboard or tumble on mats, now you can join in the fun.

Nicole Harper, owner of Mesa Adventure Boot Camp, is now offering her morning Indoor Boot Camp here at KTR (note: no spectators are here to watch you climb monkey bars, duck under balance beams, or climb ropes this early...;)
