Well, I guess I haven’t been paying attention, because Tampa AM is apparently now in December, and not in January, like it once was. Does this make me old? Anyway, Nick Merlino(above photo ripped from his-space) from Atlantic City placed third and Willy Akers from Wilmington DE placed tenth. Luan De Oliveira got first, but he is from Brazil, and not the Tri-State area. Sorry if I’m location bias.
Seems like for the past year I keep hearing “Willy Akers did this” or “Willy Akers did that”. This is the first time I’ve ever seen any footy though. Sick.
New favorite rail trick.
willy rips! 10th place is pretty rad. that ben rayborne kid is a sick up n comer too. And what’s up with this chick skater that made it to semifinals, might be the best girl skater i’ve ever seen; http://www.thrashermagazine.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogsection&id=3&Itemid=40&frontpage=1&clipid=484&category=Contests

The video of Willy is teh first video that came up when I searched youtube. Old or not, dude still rips, and is the nicest dude ever.
