Southside Skatepark's Texas Am Showdown took place June 26th. Nike SB, Gatorade, Thrasher, Roger Skateboards and Gnarbro backed the event making it all possible. There was a grip of solid skateboarders and their friends in attendance for the event. Names like Bubba Dossett, Eddie Middleton, Woo Tang, Christian Dufrene, Justin Vinson and many more converged on the park to try to capture a piece of the $2000 purse. At the end of the day it was San Antonio's own Drake Flores winning the $1000. Houston's Chris Luring handled himself and ended up in the second spot with $500 cash. Rounding out the top three was Jonathan Bastian from the north Houston area. Gatorade Best Trick was won by Dominique Goings who handled with ease the ollie up and then hardflip back lip down on the Tranquility replica and five stair. See you next year, with any luck gas will be more affordable and people will be able to come down from all over!
