Now in it’s 9th year due to the success from our sponsors, the skaters, and all other supporters locally, nationally, and internationally. Over the years I have seen the contest take shape and become what it is today. The SBS contest is not only just a rollerblading street contest. It’s rollerblading history. First of its kind in the Seattle area and remaining to be one of the largest street contest on the west coast. Not to mention when it first started 9 years ago street skating contests were just evolving! Now in its 9th year the contest has matured to be what it is today. It takes time. Time to fail, time to learn, and time to succeed. Over the years I have learned allot! One of the many problems is my lack of professionalism and procrastination. Those 2 things over the years I’ve noticed make the largest impact on the success. This year is going be different. SBS2009 isn’t until August and already I have almost everything I need to make an outstanding contest even better! Things are going to be different from the start. As you can probably already tell. The actually event is going to continue in its original format the only changes this year are going to be how we promote, sponsor, and deliver!

HIRSC 2007 will be a Windward city session. The spots will be in Kaneohe and Kailua.
This will be the 5th year in a row that I have done this competition. It sucks that I can’t enter because I made it and judge it. Hhaha.. But any ways, this is how it goes down on the island. We session, session, session, and session some more. Then we see who killed it the most all day and hook that kid up with free shit. Also, there are two runners up, best trick, best fall, and the toss of free shit.
If you would like to see the past two competitions, check out my myspace page or youtube my name (Akari).
Sorry, I am still in school and work full-time. I need to work on the flyer and chat with some companies.
