You kind of have to give it to him. Always running his mouth about how fast his cruiser is and he backed it up with his 2nd place finish in the SkateRace on Go Skateboarding Day. If you are unaware of the SkateRace, the last 2 years on Go Skateboarding Day we’ve had a little race from the top of Mt. Tabor, through downtown, up to the Zoo Bomb and ending at Washington Park. Here’s the breakdown of the top 12 finishers from this year:
1.Robin McGuirk (back to back firsts)
2.Compton
3.McCloud
4.Joe D.
5.Aidian Oleyne
6.Mitch Byers
7.Dane Brady
8.Kris Eng
9.Corbin Hindery
10.Jake Proffit
11.Jackson Marsh
12.Rory Greiling

Robin McGuirk from Eastside Longboards came up with the repeat win. These guys really know how to haul and the speed standard has kind of been set. There was only about 4-5 seconds between Robin and McCloud so the gap is closing. It might seem impossible for Compton’s ego to get any more inflated, so it’s probably better to not tell him that people were talking.
We’ll see how next year goes. Congratulations Robin.
