The first Woodward/Hot Wheels event kicked off at the Vans Skatepark at the Block at Orange, California. The event started off with a line out the door and a bunch of groms fired up and ready to get things going. First up was the street course with multiple divisions taking over the entire course until the age-determined rounds were decided: advanced (all ages), ages 11-to-16, ages 10 and under, and finally followed by a women’s event. Myles Strampello took it all in the Street Advanced while Zach took top honors for the 11-to-16 age group.

Once that completed, the event then moved over to the mini ramp where collisions and chaos stole the show with over 75 kids participating. The mini ramp was jammin’ and packed with action and it was Milo Daluiso who took top honors in the 11-to-16 age group. With the advanced division finished, the mini ramp portion of the day was next on the agenda and completed with Luke Kahler atop the podium.

The final part of the event was at the good old Combi Bowl, which saw Sota Tsuji absolutely dominating the 11-to-16 age group. The advanced kids put on a show and ended the night with all top three ruling the ball section that Combi is so well known for. But when the dust finally settled it was with Taylor Nye getting top honors and taking home the win.
