Red Bull Battleship '08 - Skate Event

It was all hands on deck for Red Bull Battleship, a head-to-head team skateboarding tournament set on the historic WWII USS North Carolina. Eight southeast skate shops looked to capsize the competition, but it was Westside Skate Shop whose three man team, Brent Sowinsky, TJ Sparks and Willy Kane, avoided being sunk throughout the double elimination rounds. In the final battle, they faced off with their hometown rival, Skatepark of Tampa, to narrowly edge them out and take the first ever Red Bull Battleship title.
