Stay_K Skateboarding sees many happy faces and is happy too. Let us first honestly thank all the people that came. Contestants and participants, audience, crew and passersby who attended, thank you. Thanks to Nicosia Municipality for the opportunity to co-organize this beautiful event and for the public skatepark they built (lets aim bigger and better now). Thanks to Vans for the great support, without which it would be difficult for us to achieve such a unique event. To our guests from Greece, sweet kisses. And of course, congrats to the winners of our competitions and to all the skaters for their passion and effort. Share the love.
One of the competitions we had organised for November 2nd's event was the classic Best Run, where four riders stood out. Yiotis and Stevie took 4th and 3rd place. On 2nd place was the one and only Nikolas aka Niparistas. Now, about the young gun who took 1st place is difficult to talk about in a post. All the sick tricks he landed can keep one mumbling for days, since the day. We experienced some of the best skateboarding in Cyprus and main reason is cause this guy was there to roll, hit every spot in the park, accept our challenges, join the demo, win. Tasos Panayi well deserved!
We had a bunch of prizes to give away so we had to get creative.. Tasos here shows well how you earn a shoe from Vans! Cause when Stay_K 's about you get the grab air and grab a voucher challenge. Part of the "Trick For Treat".
It's On!
