2008 Volcom TXOTX Results
We went down to the Bask Country (Spain) for the Volcom TXOTX miniramp competition that was going down in Durango, which is situated close to Bilbao.
One thing is to be said in advance, the local skaters are really gnarly, so organising a miniramp contest for these guys, is good times for sure! This years edition got even the attention of a few internationals who where brave enough to measure there skills with these Spanish tranniekillers.
Local skater Ivan Rivado was hungry to collect his 3rd big miniramp victory this year, but some of the guys didn't want to give him this victory for free. Jurgen Horwarth (DE), Guillaume Mocquin (FR), Ben Raemers (UK) and Aaron Sweeney (UK) made sure Ivan had to put the pedal to the metal (everything metal!) in order to make it trough the finals. A real slaughter session went down on the vert extension, the gnarliest tricks where literally used as weapons against each other... Aaron Sweeney even backside ollied into the thing from the top which was rewarded with 600 Euro for best trick.
Eventually Ivan managed to stand out and take first place before Aaron Sweeney and Ben Raemers, who acted upon him as hungry predators. The 3000 euros was for Ivan, but the free cider was for everyone!
