Bi-Fecta, Day 1 Crown Royale

What a killer day! The Crown Royale was off the chain. Skaters from all over came represent. We’re proud to announce Embassy’s Priscilla Lee getting 3rd place in the “Ladies Pro Division”. She killed with her patented switch stance routine. Rock-n-Rolls and big frontside airs on the big vert wall. Nice transfer’s, killer style. She is on the rise. Looks like this little lady will be ranking up there for many moons to come. Time is on her side, we expect GREAT things for Priscilla. CONGRATS!!!

The Men’s division didn’t fare as well for Gary Morris & Ben Johnson. The contest was held mostly in the street section of the park. Ben did kill it with his stylish smith’s and tail slide’s on the vert wall. Gary did land his 540 McTwist on his first try during the jam, and he also did some sick frontside tail taps off the dinosaur’s head. Gary’s was stoked to have his first competition on the National stage behind him. We’ll chalk this one down as a good learning positive experience. Ben & Gary were both hyped and look forward to the bowl (Corn Cup) session @ Pier Park on Sunday.

THE MASTERS:
Being from the “Old School” I looked forward for this. Embassy Team Captain Ken Fillion skated hard for a 7th place finish out of 24. With not having to much practice, hell for having “no Practice” in the street course, he KILLED it. Sick Tuck-knee inverts and big backside airs off the vert wall. He flowed the park, hitting the corners and just having fun. Buck Smith the reigning Tri-Fecta champ did it again, with his smooth lines, awesome style and SICK frontside inverts, the judges took in consideration Buck had been drinking all day. This guy just kills it. Lance Mountain came in a well deserved 2nd. It was cool to see the star power mingling around the crowd, with Tri-Fecta being such a Grass-roots event. The Crown Royale was a 100% good time. Embassy looks forward to representing next year!!
