2008 Mid-Atlantic Skateboard Series

Curt Kimbel, a former pro skater, brings his classic mid-atlantic skateboard competitions back for its 6th year.

The formatting of the series has a very unique style. It starts out with a couple skatepark competitions, the top 5 winners from each competition get a certain amount of points. At the last stop of the series, all of the points are added up for each person, then they are categorized into a division with other participants who have points in the same range. The winners of each of those final divisions are then awarded prizes.

Series schedule:
May 17 - Arlington, VA
June 21 - Olney, MD
July 19 - Charles County, MD
August 9 - St. Marys, MD
