(Burr Ridge, Ill.) -- Competitions at Rye Airfield in Rye, N.H. and Skater's Edge in Taunton, Mass. produced three skaters and a BMX finalist from the first weekend of the Gatorade Free Flow Tour. Rye Airfield winners Josh Lane (BMX park), Zac Rose (skate vert), and Giorgio Villone (skate park), as well as Skater's Edge winner Mat Militano (skate park) have all advanced to the Gatorade Free Flow Tour Finals taking place September 16-19.
Seventeen-year-old Lane of Portsmouth, N.H. earned the BMX park victory at Rye Airfield, taking his amplitude and style across the entire park. He impressed the crowd and judges when he launched from the jump landing to a superman, whipping the big box -- backwards -- during the final jam session. Matt Ray was second with Brett Silva finishing in third place.
"This contest was amazing," Lane said. "I'm gonna train non-stop so I can win the finals."
In the skate vert contest, 14-year-old Rose used an almost-flawless run that included alley-oops, two McTwists and some hot coping action to claim the victory.
"I've been driving two hours every night to come to Rye to prepare for this event," said Rose of Raymond, ME. "I'm really psyched for the finals in Salt Lake!"
In the skate park competition, Villone of West Islip, N.Y. topped the jaw-dropping skate contest with a loaded run that included a full cab flip up the euro, switch 180 smith the down rail and a feeble the down rail.
"I'm so happy I won, I wasn't expecting to at all," said 20-year-old Villone. "Finals are going to be so sick, last year the course was awesome!"
Villone was a skate park finalist in the 2009 Gatorade Free Flow Tour, earning a wildcard entry with his video submission.
"As always, the Gatorade Free Flow Tour killed it with killer prizes, the best trophies ever, and a nail biting competition that went down to the wire," said Rye Airfield manager Beau Lambert. "We're so psyched to be a part of it for our fifth time. See ya at the finals in SLC."
On Sunday, Militano won the skate park competition at Skater's Edge Skatepark in Taunton, Mass.
Seventeen-year-old Militano of Douglasville, Pa. earned the victory after executing a big heel flip and switch big spin during the final jam session. Mikey Leven of Philadelphia, Pa. was second and Kevin Liedtke, also from Douglasville, Pa., finished in third place.
"The contest was so fun, now I need to sleep!" Militano said. "Yesterday and today killed me, but I'm so psyched for the finals."
With the win, Militano, Lane, Rose and Villone all earn an automatic bid into the Gatorade Free Flow Tour Finals that will take place at the Dew Tour's Toyota Challenge, September 16-19, 2010 in Salt Lake City, Utah at EnergySolutions Arena.
