TreX-Games Busan 2008

It's competitions galore for Korea this month. Eddie and the boys will be travelling up to Busan this time round for the TreX-Games Busan 2008.

Title: The TreX-Games Busan 2008
Period: September 26 through October 2, 2008
Location: Busan, South Korea
No. of countries participating: 14
No. of Pros from US: 7

The TreX-Games is part of the 4th Busan TAFISA World Sport for All Games. It is under the official patronage of the IOC. X-Games is not part of the IOC events as yet, so everyone will be keeping their fingers crossed that everyone will go well and the IOC will be impressed with how far we have come along for Xtreme sports. Hopefully, someday, we will see Xtreme Games as part of the Olympic event.

    Etnies 5th Annual GvR Skate Contest

    THE CAMPAIGN FOR THE STANCES CONTINUES WITH ETNIES’ FIFTH ANNUAL GvR SKATE CONTEST

    Pro Skateboarders Are 2 for 2 as They Approach Landmark Year in the
    Goofy vs. Regular Rivalry

    Lake Forest, Calif. (Sept. 18, 2008) – Goofy or Regular? The debate between the right and left continues with etnies’ fifth annual GvR skateboarding contest taking place October 2-5, 2008 at the etnies Skatepark in Lake Forest, Calif. Started in 2004, GvR is the first and only team-oriented skateboarding contest in which Goofy-footed and Regular-footed skaters compete in an action-packed weekend of non-stop skating.

    This year, many of the world’s best skateboarders, including Ryan Sheckler, Jereme Rogers and Chris Cole, will compete in the tie-breaking forum before a crowd of more than 15,000. Past competitors include Andrew Reynolds, Billy Marks, Nyjah Huston, Rick McCrank and Sean Malto. The event will be held at etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest, a 40,000 square foot concrete haven boasting a street section, pools, music and free admission.

    Each team captain will pre-qualify five skaters who will go straight to the final GvR competition. Saturday’s events will consist of qualifying rounds for the rest of the skaters from each team while Sunday will feature the final conflict of the stances after which the winning team will be announced settling the score once and for all…or at least until next year’s competition.

    Team Captain SLAP Magazine’s Mark Whiteley put together the following crew of heavy hitters for the Regular Team’s starting five:
    - Ryan Sheckler
    - Andrew Reynolds
    - Chris Cole
    - Rick McCrank
    - Sean Malto

    Goofy Team Captain and Skateboard Mag Editor-in-Chief Dave Swift is being elusive about his selection for his starting five skateboarders. Will Swift’s strategy of keeping his team roster secret as long as possible pay off with a win for Team Goofy?

    Admission to GvR is free of charge and in addition to all-day skating, this year’s festivities include legendary punk rock band Bad Religion taking the stage with a special performance Saturday, October 5, 2008 at 8:00pm. Tickets to the Bad Religion concert are available at select etnies retailers throughout Southern California and while the performance is free, tickets are required for all admissions.

    Everyone who attends GvR can also enjoy the Festival Village area which is open for the duration of the competition, and has something to do for everyone. Fans can enjoy food, activities and exhibits from sponsors including Grind for Life, Oakley, Keep-A-Breast, FUEL TV and more.

    For the first time ever, gamers can compete in etnies’ GvR competition in Skate 2, being released for the PlayStation® 3 system and the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system in 2009. Developed by Black Box, a studio of Electronic Arts (EA), Skate 2 delivers all the grit, creativity and culture of skateboarding. EA Skate 2 doubles the bag of tricks and allows gamers to get off their board and move objects to create and share their ultimate skate spots.
