No Repeat for Jimmy Flindt...

Zak Maytum is IGSA North American Champion, TWICE!

They were fast all day, and it looked like the stoked and focused Jimmy Flindt, 2007 North American Champ, would battle it out with Dubester for the title, but Zak Maytum poured on the speed, slapped on some new wheels for the finals and showed a keen sense of strategy to win the IGSA North American Championship with a pass down the long straight to the finish after he chased the banzai Flindt through the dreaded right hander -- but carried more speed.  It got down to maybe 3/4 of a board length at the finish line and both skaters were cheering as loud as the rest of the crowd after tearing their helmets off.   40 minutes later, TVAR did it again, winning the A-Main for the Junior Class as well, racking up dual Continental Championships to accompany his Junior World Championship from Maryhill!

 

I'm fresh back off the road, still coated in hay, grit, ash from the wildfires and whatever else I picked up during a 90-degree day at Bonelli.  Photos and more to come...check the forums in the meantime and click into the folder in the Gallery-- 600+ photos from Saturday.
