Shawn Robertson, who took home the $7500 bacon
for first place in street each of the first two years of the Showdown,
surprised and wowed the crowd by winning the vert competition this year
and with his stunning best trick - an alley oop 540 out of the vert!
Eisenbergs is proud to support Shawn, their hometown skater, to the tune
of $22,500 over the past 3 years! Shane Saviers also went home $7500
richer and 2nd place winners Tyler Shields and Frankie Morales took home
giant jam boxes courtesy of Mountain Dew.
Other notables in attendance this year included
Arlo, Eric Schrijn, Dion Anthony and Champion Baumstimler and others. We
appreciate all the skaters who came out, skated with the kids at the Friday night
lock in, jammed at the Showdown and enjoyed the music of Dr. Teeth on Saturday
night, and supported the lunch and autograph signing session on Sunday.
Eisenbergs gives props to Mt. Dew for being
the Showdown presenting sponsor for the past 3 years and already committing
to next year! Many thanks also go out to Gold Sponsor, Tribe
Distribution and Bronze sponsors who provided cash, product and
prizes: Harbinger; Triple 8;
USD;
Martin Zisman of Martin's Cocina who served great
Mexican food for the lock-in; and Richlite makers of Skatelite.
