Chief Ladiga / Silver Comet Sk8 Challenge

More than 50 skaters from around the world competed in the most epic distance skateboard stage race ever assembled thanks to long time skater Marion Karr and his team of polished supporters Chadd and Georgia Hall.  While Marion created the concept of the Skate Challenge, Chadd and Georgia executed the most recognized long distance skate, 188 miles spanning from Atlanta, Georgia to Anniston, Alabama in just 3 short days.  Not only does this event signify a major accomplishment to finish, it showcases how close knit the skateboard community can be when it comes to accomplishing a challenge of this magnitude.  Congratulations to the skaters that finished and nearly finished the now coined Blood, Sweat, Stoke, 188.0. Clear your May weekends, as Marion gets ready to announce next year’s dates for this awesome event.  Congratulations to Rayne and O-tang skater Paul Kent on winning the race for the Third Year in a Row.  Congratulations to Colleen Pellech, Ultra Skate World Record Holder on winning the Female Division.
