Skate Classic III (August 5, 2006)<br /> <br /> Skaters of all ages assembled in Salem, Oregon at The Bush Pasture Park soap box derby track on Saturday, August 5th, to compete in a range of events. The third annual EXIT Skate Classic consisted of 4 events; high jump (high ollie), long jump (long ollie), slalom and game of skate. For five bucks, skaters were registered for one or more events and since everyone got an event t-shirt with entry, you pretty much couldn't lose.<br /> Created by the owners of EXIT real world skate and snowboard shop, the EXIT Skate Classic was designed to appeal to skaters of all ages. Although the line up of events varies from year to year, the basic elements of skateboarding are always the focus. EXIT wanted to create a contest that would stand out among the other hosts of skateboard contests every summer and endure time.<br /> The high jump was your classic highest ollie contest over the adjustable bar. Longest ollie was a straight (actually, slightly up hill) pushing take-off with a mild dropping pitch on which paint cans are added each time the round of survivalists makes it over cleanly. In both the high jump and the long jump, competitors got a second chance if they bonked or bocked there attempt. Every skater that made it over the obstacle each round moved on to the next level, with a heightened bar in there path in high jump or an added can in in their landing for long jump. <br /> The game of skate started off in games of three and then deduced down to doubles games to battle it out. Of course the game of skate was the whipper snapper generation of the crowd, but there was a talk of 46-year-old Dennis Franklin (former freestyle pro) joining the game of skate. It would have been interesting if he did. Franklin surely has some tricks that would have left the laughing surprisedly. Although declined the game of skate, he went on to the place 3rd in the slalom even though he didn't even know there was a contest that day, he was just there skating with his son that morning and learned of the contest by chance.<br /> This year about 500 people gathered at the third annual EXIT Skate Classic, to skate, eat free hot dogs and watch other skaters throw themselves around. Many spectators stuck it out through the four hour contest to take home goods from the awards product toss from companies such as Ninja Bearings, Gravity, Powell, Vans, Sector Nine, Hook-Ups, Da Kine, Ancient Inc., Burton and EXIT real world.<br /> Big thanks to all of those who supported the 3rd annual EXIT Classic.
