drew a size of crowd promising enough for something new organized by the children themselves.
With the IT&E, Boarderline, Monster, Gatorade, Triple J Wholesale, Duty Free Shop and Pacific Island Club behind, the skate competition was the first to be organized collaboratively by the Island Skate Society and Saipan Rotary Club.
In the 11 to 15 years bracket, Suarez who topped the first round with 8.5 points remained on upper ground of 13 other skater his age in the final free style showdown finishing with 7.6 points.
Angelo Guevarra who did not make it in the top three during the first round emerged to be the second best free style performer in the finals with 7.57 points and Charles Bautista finished third with a very close score of 7.50.
In the 16 years and up, Corey Llagas who started with 8.17 in the first round set an insurmountable lead as he improved further to 9.13 in the final round.
Dan Westphal fell twice but regained his composure and maintained his first round feat to win the second place with 8.1 points and Kevin Jardinero duplicated everything and showed how simple skating really is to settle for third place with 8 points.
Charles Bautista gave the crowd the best trick in the 11 to 15 division. Rolando Sangalang came second and Irvin Malonzo won the third place.
In the 16 and up, Jun Agbanlog went airborne the most time to win the first place in best trick.
Alfredo Guevarra kept his cool and did exactly how he planned to settle for the second while Dan Westphal came third.
Suarez was the last young man standing in the S-K-A-T-E game after his brother Daryl, failed to duplicate his final move. Tristan Caro placed third.
Jun Agbanlog prevailed in the 16 years and up’s S-K-A-T-E followed by Corey Llagas and Jose Santiago.
