ASR Trade show, San Diego, CA.

Here at Matix, progress is everything. So when we were offered another opportunity to host another skate event during the ASR tradeshow this January, we decided to up the ante and create a contest that has never been done before, keeping skill, style and balance in mind along with an inspiration of true street skating – skating lines. Lord of the Lines was developed to bring street skating back to contests with three basic obstacles – a manual pad, a flat bar and a ledge box. Skaters had to develop a line connecting all three obstacles in one run. Another bonus – a $15,000.00 purse was at hand, with $1000.00 of which was to handed out to riders for bangers, bails and boos.

Skateboarders Enrique Lorenzo, Malcom Watson, Ronnie Creager, Billy Marks, Dennis Busenitz, Joey Brezinski, Adam Dyet, Felix Arguelles and Danny Montoya (to name a few) were on hand for the unveiling of L.O.T.L. Riders were placed in four heats and given 10-minutes to create their best line between the three obstacles, then top three were chosen to move onto a final 15 minute jam. In the end, Dennis Busenitzs’ speed and variety rang him at third place and a cool $1000.00 was handed over, Joey Brezinski’s fluid style and technical arrangement dropped him in at second place and the $3000.00 check was his, and finally Ronnie Creagers amazing balance and switch lines got him the golden crown and the grand prize of $10,000.00 was his.

Congrats Ronnie!
