Shoe City Invitational Adaptive Skate Contest at X Games 17
Greg Shaw had a 1st place winning experience at this, his first, AAS event.
Evan Strong put together a strong showing and walked home with a 2nd place finish followed by Justin Beauchesne in 3rd. Oscar Loreto finished in 4th place just squeaking by the one and only Buddy Elias who placed 5th.
“It’s a great thrill to help such a deserving community” said Leedy Ying, Shoe City President, adding “It was an awesome event and I am looking forward to future adaptive skateboarding events with Adaptive Action Sports.” “We are excited to expand our adaptive skateboard opportunities at the X Games and to have Shoe City support our mission,” says AAS Co-Founder and Development Director Amy Purdy. “The addition of a “learn to skateboard clinic” and a competition for a cash purse will open new doors for adaptive skateboarders everywhere,” she added. Amy had no reservations crediting the X Games for their generosity and support, making the statement that “X Games has been an amazing five-year supporter of AAS adaptive programming and continues to provide a great venue, bringing together able bodied and adaptive athletes.”
