This was one of the best Tampa Pros ever. Just look at who was in the finals: Busenitz, Dompierre, P Rod, Keegan Sauder, Pete Eldridge, and the list goes on. You had contest vets, all-terrain rippers, street favorites, and some unpredictable wild cards. Jani, Chaz, P Rod, and Lutzka all had flawless lines, but in the end, the judges gave Lutzka the edge. So this is a repeat for Greg and his third overall Tampa Pro. Check the full results.
The best trick contest started after the finals. It was a heavy line up of Eric Koston, Shuriken Shannon, Jereme Rogers, Javier Nunez, Torey Pudwill, Jereme Rogers, and more doing some gnarly stuff. Shuriken alone landed four tricks that could have taken it, including kickflipping across the entire box to grind down the metal edge and a pop shove-it backside five-0 on the box. Javier nailed a nollie front heel to switch five-0 across the box just before time ran out and that ended up being the clincher. Results here.
1 Greg Lutzka $20,000
2 Paul Rodriguez $15,000
3 Chaz Ortiz $10,000
4 Jani Laitiala $5,000
5 Kyle Berard $4,000
6 Keegan Sauder $3,000
7 Peter Ramondetta $2,000
8 Dennis Busenitz $1,750
9 Nick Dompierre $1,250
10 Pete Eldridge $1,250
11 Mikey Taylor $1,000
12 Jereme Rogers $1,000

Greg’s run wasn’t even good he has been doing the same tricks over and over after a while the switch 360 board slides and nose blunts got kind of old. He’s good but all i’m saying is he didn’t deserve first.

greg is hella good but he needs a bigger variety of tricks . you can only do so many 360 variations before they get old.

I’m just glad P-Rod didn’t win. Greg’s skating is down right creative compared to P-Rod’s. So boring…
March 23rd, 2009 at 7:57 am
it hasnt been 4 years since he’s been doing new tricks i remember that when he started doin 270 nose blunts and 270 kicks to board and noseblunts. but he always trys to take his old but do it on bigger stuff.

Greg is creative….HA HA HA. P-Rod is ten times better than Greg and you might not have noticed it but half the stuff P-Rod does is SWITCH.

Yes he is! Check out http://www.blackboxdist.com on the right hand column. He became pro when "Strange World" came out. And it only took him 18 years, lol.
