The Skate Street Session took place on Dew Tour’s nine-stair set with hubba ledges running along each side as well as a rail down the center. The invited skaters congregated at the top of the set and preceded to skate in an organized 30-minute jam scored on overall impression. Three skaters were scored and ranked with an additional award for the single best trick pulled during the jam.

Considering this was the first skate street event included at Dew Tour Beach Championships, the crowd couldn’t have been more stoked to watch some of the insane street skills laid down live for them.

So once that gets made, I really star have fun.”

Hill commented on Hoffart’s best trick saying “That was incredible, just incredible. And you know whats rad about skating though? Your always rooting for your friends. It’s not a contest where you get bummed out and get really competitive. You try to be supportive and you use it, you get stoked on what other people are doing and it makes you step your game up too. Its amazing.”

When asked about the contest and the location all skaters involved were stoked. “Its amazing, your on the beach, you can skate the location then go jup in the water” said Hoffart. He then went on “I’ve never been here before, the people are awesome, the venue itsle is just like one of a kind. It’s just like the stuff you dream about.” Hill then added “Honestly, I’ve never skated a cooler contest at this kind of location, I’ve never skated a contest on the beach. The weather is hot but it’s rad, its just an amazing place. I’m really hyped to have skated it, and the course was fun too.”
