There were nearly 1,293,495,960 contestants in more that one hundred local games of S-K-A-T-E played around the world presented by eS Footwear.  Actually maybe not that many contestants but a crap load that’s for sure. 

I myself got eliminated in the first round of every contest I competed in.  There was the one in the Disneyland parking lot.  I didn’t land a single trick except for my ollie over a cockroach.  Then there was the game I entered in my best friend’s garage, which I hoped I would have some sort of advantage.  Instead I sprained my toe during practice and had to put myself out of the competition.  So that was about it. 

Anyway, the finals of the eS game of S-KA-T-E will take place at this weekend’s Maloof Money Cup at the Orange County Fair Grounds in Costa Mesa California.   Check out the times below for the full schedule.
