Well we just completed the 2008 Gorge Games hear in Hood River. Many sports were showcased like windsurfing, kiteboarding, kayaking, riverboarding, outrigger, mountain biking, adventure racing, sailing, running, and of course skateboarding. Wally was the skateboard director of the games and he put on several events. Friday morning was the Gaint Slalom at the famous old Columbia Scenic Highway also know as the Mosier Tunnels. The course that they set was over 1/2 mile long consisting of 100 cones and speeds upwards of 30 MPH. Jason Mitchell would come out on top for the three year in a roll, Lynn Kramer would take the woman's division.
That evening at the Hood River Skatepark was the bowl jam. The 12 and under division was won by 10 year old Max Jensen all the way from New Hampshire taking second was Hood River's own Aidan Olmstead. Portland's Johnny Tergesen would take the Open division followed by Donovan Rice.
The Soda Pop Kids played an awesome set after the event on the vert ramp.
