SKATEBOARD CONTEST "YB DATUK SERI ZAINUDIN MAIDIN CUP"

Dec 15th - 16th 2007, The Carnival (Parking Area), Cinta Sayang Golf & Counry Resorts, Sg Petani, Kedah

Day 2: The final starts at noon. So me and family had plenty of time in the morning. The breakfast in the hotel were really tasty. They even have Dim Sum. Later we went for horse riding coz we got some coupon for FREE but we are abit late. Then we went for archery, it was our first. Me and my kid try the short disitance first. On my 2nd try i hit the bullseye. Right after that i brought my son to the pool and had some relax and waited till noon.

There weren't much people today compare to yesterday but that doesn't bother us as long as the weather are good and clear. Anyway here's what i do remember. There were 15 finalist. Koya were very good but this time his elder brother beat him up with more tricks landed. Meanwhile, Adam Kepong did the same run as yesterday with more speed and it was so gnarly dude. He drop from the loading and melon on the jump ramp and super fast blunt stall to rock to fakie (not blunt to disaster) at the quarter. And a super speed backside lipslide on the rail of the funbox, switch boardslide, and more sick tricks. That was rad dude!!! Wan Gurun are not bad too with some indy aerial on the jump ramp, BS 180 up the euro gap, BS 50-50 down the ledge. While, Bobo did a nollie 50-50 grind down the ledge, Dikwan with his kickflip shifty up the euro gap, then a 360 flip up the euro. That was sick dude!!! And then Mohd Azreen aka White, the boneless guy. He did boneless every part of the obstacle which are not a good choice during a contest. Anyway the rest of them were average good.

After finished the contest we have to wait for the VIP to arrived for the prizing ceremony. So they came out a last minute Best Trick contest and only 9 contestant participate. Here's bunch of tricks that they landed; Koya, crooked grind bnk up the ledge; Adam Kepong - kickflip BS 50-50 grind on the ledge; Yuki A47 - Noselside shove-it out off the ledge; Bobo with nollie 50 grind down the ledge; Petpot did a BS lipslide on the handrail; Fatah with lipslide, Dikwan - 360 flip up th eeuro agaon and the rest didn't landed any tricks. Anyway shit happens, some eletrical problems accured during the arrival of the VIP. The mp3 player were blown and burned up with a smell. The B-Boy performance were lucky coz they had a friend with this boom-boom speakers on his scooter bike. Luckly the JTM were here and they get the supply from a sponsored van who were giving out free iced lemon tea. Cool!!! I think everyone were happy coz all top 10 winners get cash money.

1st - Adam Zari aka Adam Kepong
2nd - Muhammad Qhusairi aka Kuchai
