Rune takes the Wellington Bowl a Rama!
The attending international professional skaters were all blown away by the hospitality of Wellington and have all said they will be back for next year’s event.

The Masters Event showed that skateboarding is a pursuit for a lifetime and with the presence of such legends as Lance Mountain (USA), Pat Ngoho (USA), Sasha Steinhorst (USA) and New Zealand’s own Andrew ‘Morri’ Morrison.

The international field of 26 riders made judging very hard with such a highly competitive field. In the end the three standout riders for the top three positions made the judges job that extra bit difficult because of how close they were in scores. Rune Glifberg’s (Denmark) 540 at the end of the final heat was just enough to put him on top in First Place closely followed in Second Place by Benji Galloway’s (USA) mind bending runs of switch stance mixed in with highly technical tricks which just held off Omar Hassan (USA) in Third Place.

GET READY FOR 2009. IT'S ON!
