On Saturday January 12 the Alley-Oop/Exile Skim Dance Revolution went off in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea. Cool weather and gray skies did not stop skimmers from all over Florida from attending the event. During the day a best trick competition and most progressive maneuver expression session drew 25 competitors of all ages to the south side of Commercial Pier to show their technical skimboarding skills. Attendees got to meet Exile pro riders Brad Domke and Jake Stinnett who were on hand to help run the event and participate in the dance competition. A nice crowd enjoyed the entertaining skim action.
That night the awards ceremony and a freestyle dance battle was held in the Alley-Oop shop parking lot. Winners from the days skim event were given their awards/prizes and everyone enjoyed an exciting head to head dance contest. The tunes were bumping and the fancy footwork was flowing! We laughed and cheered into the evening with smiles all around.
Big thanks to event sponsors: SUN BUM, NEFF, and ARUBAS for helping to make things happen. This will surely become an annual event.
