GLENDALE – On a cool winter afternoon, 208 skateboarders of all ages competed in the Cowtown Skateboards’ Union Hills Classic, eager for the chance to win bragging rights and an Arizona-shaped trophy. Others were stoked to win raffle prizes from such skate brands as OJ Wheels and Santa Cruz Skateboards.
The competition, which included divisions for different age brackets (from pee wee to 40+), men, women and sponsored skaters. Each heat included four skaters, with three minutes to show judges their best tricks.
Although they were too injured to compete, Christina Pantea, Mikey Ann and Tyler Phillips still came out to support fellow skaters at the Union Hills Classic. (Photo by Sarah Donahue/Cronkite News)
