Bondi Skateboard Contest

Last Saturday as I wrote here I went to Bondi beach to watch the Skateboard contest that was awesome, it was the best vertical competition that I have seen and also the greatest name of vertical skaters were there including a legend of the skateboard Steve Caballero who I took a picture with him as you see it above. He is as important for the Skateboard as the Beatles to the music.

Although they were pretty competitive, the winner Buck Lasek was absolute in the bowl and therefore he won again this year. 

  However two facts ruin the contest, firstly a shower of rain sometimes broke for drying the floor and secondly the women cops arrested two or three guys who were drinking alcohol there. The guys resisted arrest and then the mess was huge.

  

Unfortunately I was far from the bowl and consequently my pictures were not so good, Despite I get almost 200 pictures. I should have taken a digital camera of a friend of mine which is quite efficient for the occassion, By the time I got there, I could not find a seat to me, it was crowded that I had to wait some minutes to take a seat, even though I got a place that I watched 95% of the bowl, because there were many people in front of me. So I hope to be here next year in order to see again.
