King of the Ams was a lot of fun. The only downer, was that our friend Sean Brooks got sick and could not skate most of the weekend. We still enjoyed having him though. The Penniman's were super gracious hosts. Micah had one of his best finishes ever. He qualified 2nd in the mini ramp and out of his 3 total runs, he only had one fall. He ended up with 1st place in the mini. Bowl was different, run with a 6 wall format. Micah finished 2nd in bowl. In street micah placed 17th which made him the last street competitor to qualify for the finals in March.

Micah's 13!

Upcoming events -- Van's Warped Tour Mini Comp tomorrow at River Bend and the Grove City comp Sat.

So, we had a great trip to WI (thanks Orlando!) where we got some footy and picked up some new Phenoms. Micah got to skate with Brandon Buchko who is a real nice kid. Wilson skatepark in Chicago was great as usual, but it was hot. On our way home we hit Whiting, but they were tearing it down as we pulled in! Two cranes were destroying the largest bowl in IN. Sad. Today was busy, Cosmic did a competition in Berea for their grand opening. It was sweet and the kids loved it. Leonard did a great job MCing in his cast. Josh and I stopped by after the Lex Cath Reunion Ultimate tournament. It was good seeing Bubby, Elijah, Andrew, Cierra, Alan, Kenitha, Eddie, Hamm, Abe and the rest of the gang. Micah was absent, due to the pre qualifier mini ramp comp at Ollies for the Warp Tour. Micah placed 2nd in a field of over 20. I wasn't there, but he said he got some new tricks such as Back Smith up the slanted coping, back feeble grind to fakie up the slanted coping , fs smith down the slanted coping and nollie/bigspin/heelflip from the pipe to the roll in. Next stop, parks in VA.

ICTHUS 2010 - Skate Love Ministry Nicholasville (Chris Wise, Frankie Fehsenfeld), Skate Church Lexington (Gavin Duerson, David Wu) and Half Cab Skateshop (Kyle McMillion and Family) took Icthus up on an offer to build a skate park for the event. Within one week we somehow received donations of materials, finances and labor to build a spine, 3 quarters, a slanted ramp, and wall ride. Along with David and Andrew's boxes and Kyle's mini, we had a skatepark. Cosmic hosted a demo, high ollie contest and game of skate yesterday. Here is where the Herald Leader got Micah doing a stalefish (second shot in the slideshow).

HOT NEWS -- through the efforts of Chris Wise (Nicholasville) and Gavin Duerson (FCA director/skate church Woodland) we have gotten permission to have a mini ramp and other skate stuff at the Ichthus Music Festival in Wilmore!
