The Mile High Battle was an awesome day for rollerbladers in Colorado. While the weather was slightly hot this didn’t stop people from killing shit all day. The first spot was at Heritage High School in Littleton. It was slightly nerve racking when I showed up 15 minutes late to my own competition and there was only 2 people there, it ended up all right. About a half hour into the first spot some stupid fat lady in a car that she could barley fit in kicked us out. So off to the next spot.
Spot 2 was at University of Denver Colorado. While everybody thought we were going to get kicked out the session lasted close to 45min to an hour. These rails are long square and perfect. There were plenty of hot hot hot shit busted including true farv’s, true savannah 360 sweatys and the whole works. Jeremy Spira broke himself off trying to do a ally oop top soul and hit his lower back on a curb while simultaneously almost hitting his head on a near by pole. It then spawned the birth of his fetal twin as you may have seen on be mag. As we were all ready to leave the security guard kicked us out.
After this everybody braked for lunch. There was plenty of burritos, pizza and tokyo Joes for all.
We decided that to extend the day out a little further that the backup second spot would be used as spot 2.5. This was at the infamous pillar rails, so named because of the two large cement pillars at the end of the rail. More hot shit was thrown down by Ty Jones who we gave prize for destroyer of best spot.
After the session at spot 2.5 degraded to a Frisbee golf game we decided it was time to leave and head off to spot three. This was supposed to be a white kink rail which ty jones again killed with a ill sweaty and a true mizou. However this was short lived due to an old ass security guard kicking us out. So then it was quick thinking to the next spot which was two side by side 30-40 stair rails that went into a baseball field. The frisbee game then ensued again. However there were some sick rail transfers and even a line of five people doing a topsoul at the same time. At this point the it was time for the comp to come to an end. And the winners are.

1. Steven Tat (Bowling Green, KY)
2. Chris Burlingame (Denver, CO)
3. Zach Zemljak and best trick (Denver, CO)
4. Ty Jones (Denver, CO)
5. Anthony Baily (Denver, CO)

Those who came to the Windy City Riot this year got exactly what they’d expect. Interesting spots, run-ins with the police, sticky weather, amazing skating, wild after-parties –”all things blade”. Seven years running, the WCR has once again proven to be one of the best street contest to attend every summer in North America. The purse totaled just under a whopping $500.

This year the WCR returned to a two-day format. On the first day, everyone joined in a celebration of all things strange. The flatland contest was won by Justin “Jefferson” Augustus from Iowa. You may remember Jefferson as being one of the “most innovative” winners from years past. Then comes Antone. Anthony “Antone” Anderson (Chicago, IL) stole the high-jump title from the previously undefeated Paul John (cleared 53″ clean and 55.5″ with a brush on the pole), dunk contest (cannot explain in words) and tied the long jump contest with Matt Strobot (Cary, IL) at 223″. After all was said and done, the pre-contest proved to be one of the most exciting collection rollerblading moments of my life. We finished off the first day by skating a launch to metal planter. Too many kids to name skated amazingly however, it seems that Kruise Sapstein tore this spot harder than anyone else–especially after landing a fakie 540 topsoul to gap out. Many props to Kruise.

The beginning of day two was a “chest”. It was pouring rain and a huge event took place right near the meeting spot with forced the contest to be moved to, that’s right, lower wacker–Chicago’s depths of hell. We fashioned a launch ramp made of plywood to skate a high handicap rail. This was a great time until the biker cops rolled up and started giving everybody (myself included) $60 parking tickets. We, of course, moved on to the next spot. Walt Disney Magnet Elementary was a good solid spot with many skaters lacing tricks and many spectators yelling “Aaaaahhhh!”’s…as you should find in any good street contest. The nicest police officer in Chicago politely asked us to move on so we did. The final spot allowed for some interesting tricks to be done. This kink rail next to a ledge wrecked some and made a hero of others. Casey Bohrnell broke his ankle and John Adams may have broken his wrist. The contest proved to be a battle between Jeph Howard and Derek Larson. Derek landed the best trick of the contest by stalling the fence, dropping to a fakie roll on the ledge then dropping blind to top soul on the rail. For a better idea of what happened at the final spot, you’d have to see the footage. Here are the results:

1st – Jeph Howard (MN)
2nd – Derek Larson (MN)
3rd – Kruise Sapstein (IL)
4th – Logan Clark (IA)
5th – Brian Bruno (IL)

Best Trick- Derek Larson
Best Style- Kruise Sapstein
Worst Fall/Scariest to Watch- Dave Depew
Most Innovative – John Adams

Biggest Baby- Mike Froemling
