The volcanic island paradise of Tahiti has a small but dedicated skate scene, due in no small part to the much larger and more famous surf scene centred around the legendary wave break of Teahupo’o nearby.

Although the island’s volcanic ground makes for bountiful nature, it is also very porous, which means it, and any surface made from it, will eat you alive when you slam. Ryan Spencer, Jordan Taylor, Adrien Coillard, Jarne Verbruggen, and Philipp Schuster rolled the dice to see what they could come back with on the shred front, while trying not to shred themselves.

With the team sidelined in La Thuile, Italy for the EWS due to injury and illness, Aspen would be an important race to get the team back on track for the remainder of the race calendar.  Aspen would not come without it’s challenges, situated at over a mile over sea level, the altitude would hinder even the best prepared.

Despite being the first race back from a broken wrist, Martin would finish the weekend in 4th place.

Anneke would come back from illness to finish 5th overall.

On the mend since Ft. William, Wyn would face some back luck while passing, which caused him a flat. This would of course take him out of the running for any top result.

Rachel Throop would finish 32nd on her home turf.
