Yesterday was the local flowboarding competition in Vista, California. It was a huge event with over 85 competitiors from all over the nation!!
This is Julian, he took 3rd place in the Men's Division. He has a unique style and great variety of tricks! This is a Shuvit~ he jumps off the board, spins it 90 degrees then lands and continues to ride.
A huge congratulations to Julian and all the winners at the competition!!!! I rode and took home a Second Place medal in the Master's Division (30 and older)!
