éS Game of SKATE — Baton Rouge, Louisiana, August 14, 2009
Get the Flash Player to see this player.
Winner: Zach Kuhne.
After being rained out at Plus Skateshop in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, the éS Game of SKATE headed to Rukus in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The skies were blue and the sun was shining down on all 56 skaters that came out to play SKATE. The southern hospitality from the kind folks at Rukus was a highlight with water and pizza for everyone.
Despite the modest amount of skaters, the talent throughout the crowd was impressive.
The four that survived 5 rounds and found themselves in the finals were Adam Barousse, Justin Higgins, Zach Kuehne and Jordan Trahan. Jordan was skating well all day making tricks look the way they should, but he ended up getting taken out first in the finals leaving Adam, Justin and Zach.
With the game tied at T, Justin took 3rd place by missing a frontside flip. Adam ended up in 2nd by missing a switch varial heelflip making Zach Kuehne the winner. Congratulations to Zach and a big thanks to Ronnie at Rukus for everything!

Hey Brayden, I'm the douche judge from the game of skate. Sorry that I wasn't going to let a hover pressure backside poop flip win a game of skate finals as a legit offensive trick. If you think we made a bad call, just go on http://www.esgameofskate.com and look under the rules section….
"Once the board leaves it wheels, it must land on all four wheels, with both feet on the board."
"On offense (when it's your trick) the trick must be landed completely clean."
His board rolled across the ground and was not even completely clean.
That's why we didn't count it.

I believe you also said that, there was 1 circus trick per round and that was the first one of Adam's in that round

adam was freakin cheated out of last place

ok chinner, and by the way thats a stupid name because from what i saw of you, you had about no chin. more like chinnless. oh and thats not why u didnt count it. your exact words when he did the trick were "that was a horrible offensive trick" meaning he picked a bad trick to do, not the trick was sloppy. and before you judge anyone else's skating based on trick choice you need to think on the bases of which skateboarding was founded. that would be, creativity, originality, expressing yourself, and so on. when you tell someone their trick is not a good enough or cool enough trick you are basically calling yourself an egotistic ass. and to be perfectly honest you dont even look like you can ollie…adam could have beat you switch, upside down, hands tied behind his back, and on fire, you short, fat, ugly, chinnless, douche.
