out of a cannon, just a little black and
red ball of fire zooming back and
forth from the roll-in to the wave to
the mega wall. He probably could
have won if he'd gotten off his roller
coaster long enough to tailslide the
ledge or something, $1000 is the
least we can do for such a legend.
2. Tim Brauch Just knowing what
Skate Street is like, you can imagine
the kind of stuff Tim did. He skated
the whole park. Not the whole street
course, the whole park. Tim's lines
went over to the mini-ramps, through
the crowd, up into the snack bar, and
over every other slippery inch the
place had to offer. $1500 and a trip
for two to Mexico was his prize.
1.Carlos De Andrade Carlos is not
the hair-hiding Brazilian, nor is he
some kind of kickflip, Indy-grabbing
robot. He's a small, polite young man
who can mix tech tricks like nollie
flips to noseslide and chest-high
backside ollies with excellent consis-
tency and an effortless style. Won
$3000 and a trip for two to Tahiti at
this outing and should continue to be
a hefty threat for quite some time.

it wasn't crystal clear that Bob
was going to win this one. But
with 7-foot backside ollies, 4-
