The much anticipated “Battle at Hastings” contest happened this past Saturday and it looks like it was amazing!! All the local bowl shredders showed up to grab a piece of the $2000 prize purse.
I unfortunately wasn’t able to make it (i’m bummed) but our man on the street Mitch Francis was there with photographer/friend Matt Macleod to get in on the action and take some photos.
Here’s how the expert category broke down:
1. Riley Boland – $800
2a. Sluggo – $300
2b. Adam Hopkins -$300
3a. Chris Connolly – $100
3b. Frontside Kid – $100
(the scores were so close they had two ties!)

[...] Hastings Bowl was the scene of a brutal battle over the weekend, one which took no prisoners. BLVD skateshop played host along with Fourstar, Royal and Girl among other sponsors to hand out over $2000 in prize money. In the end while all fought valiantly, it was Riley Boland who walked away with the title of first. Not to be left in the wake, Sluggo and Adam Hopkins both tied for third and Chris Connolly and Frontside Kid tied for third. Evidently it was a truly epic battle.You can see all of Matt Macleod's photos from the event on Supra’s Blog. [...]
