The cone of Death...claimed one victim.Gage fell so hard he cracked his helmet open.

Thanks to Kelly Lynn and Soultrip for organizing this event.It was alot of fun and very exciting to watch.
The organizers were also very generous with the prizes.Each competitor pulled a card from a deck of cards and a bunch of Soultrip boards were handed out in a raffle.I think everyone got a prize.Also the proceeds from entry fees were distributed among the top three winners.

Next Deathrace is at Orlando Skatepark in January 2009.

Some Gfl video footage.

PJ had his 8 year old daughter Soleil go around and interview people at the event,and she did a great job of it.
See for yourself.

(thats my son at 5.10 secs by the way!)
