This all street contest has been around 25 years running. Its held in Chicago and it’s always been known for being gnarly. It’s almost a honor to skate in that contest even though anyone can enter. So many incredible tricks have gone down over the 2 decades by some of the most talented. They made 8000$ this year to pay winners by doing raffles and donation stuff plus sponsors. At least thats how I feel about it cause rollerblading isn’t a very lucrative sport so thats impressive to achieve. Beyond the point! haha I again didn’t plan on making a edit so maybe next time I will just commit and try to do more filming. It was my 4th day walking since my surgery so Im still getting used to moving, standing and most definitely walking. If you’re reading this and one of the many people who came up and showed love I really appreciate the support cause it made me feel great and almost validated my trauma in ways. Besides the point haha love goes out to all the skaters out there who still show up to these. It’s truly a really badass thing when you sit back and think about it (maybe blazed) Windy City Riot is a hard contest to skate in and everyone wants a piece of the action. Shit can get wild out there. So yeah all the people who put on Windy City Riot are awesome and I pat them all on the back because just like the intro to this edit. “I dont have any money” lol So I am almost done with this rant…or am I? not sure yet. let me think. umm…nah I think thats about it. Good times and I truly hope to see everyone there next year. Peace…or is it?… [Award Winning Reporter Jim Douglas] “so can I call you Hawk? and how does it feel to get 4th again for the 32nd skate contest in a row plus you somehow filmed it”[Tonee Hawk]”yes sir and It feels fantastic Jim! Just gotta go out there and play 900% every time. uhh I pay for keeps and just gotta do what’s in your heart man. Follow your dreams kids. Thanks to my mom and dad, I love you both duh. But hey I gotta go. We will talk again soon Jim haha alright bud you take care now” uhhh wtf did I just read breh?….this SOB has lost his freckin mind…wait.. who is the SOB in this scenario?..its all very confusing I know. Plus I dont believe in the delete button so this has been a long journey but now I gotta go. Peace everyone who has made it this far. heart emoji. cheers emoji. eggplant emoji. smile emoji
