Adidas Skate Copa

On April 24th, the Mainland skate team made the 13 hour drive from Visalia to Portland, Oregon for the Pacific North West regional Adidas Skate COPA contest, sponsored in part by The Berrics and The Boardr. The team arrived in time to skate the park for an hour or so before closing, then linked up with photographer and PDX tour guide Bobby Escobedo. The contest format consisted of "Shop team vs Shop team", with a four skater maximum on each team. An additional owner/shop manager is permitted to skate for a total of five skaters on your team. Three-minute jams with all skaters from each team were allowed to skate half of the course. Each skater was scored individually, with the top three skaters’ scores counting for the overall shop score. In jam 20, Mainland rider Stephen Mussa scored first with a 65.63. Overall, Mainland placed 7th, competing against 19 other shops. We wanted to say congrats and give a big thanks to the following team members who made the trek to Portland: Alex Lopez, Stephen Mussa, Austin Gott, Ryan Guiso
