The TAC Skimblast went down this past weekend and, just like every year, it was a sick time! What made it even more special this year was the fact that it was the 10th anniversary for the event! A solid crew of Zap team riders made the trek out to Santa Cruz, CA to compete including Gerardo Valencia, Dylan Duncan, Mason Broussard and Leo Freitas. The conditions were firing and the crew was shredding.
Dylan and Mason both rode well but were unable to put it together at some crucial spots which led to them exiting the contest in the early rounds. Gerardo Valencia skimmed with his usual style and power to the Quarters where he and fellow teammate Leo Freitas met head to head with Leo coming out on top. Leo has been on a tear this year and it’s been rad to see this shredder from Rio de Janiero make a name for himself! Making it all the way to the finals with Lucas Fink, their matchup made for the first all-Brazilian final in UST history! Leo killed it and was able to take second, missing first by only 1.14 points! Congats Leo! See below for full results from each division and check out some of the shots from the weekend too! Thanks again to the United Skim Tour for putting on such a rad event!
