September 25, 2006 (Lake Forest, CA) – Last year, at the second annual etnies Goofy vs. Regular contest, the Goofies stomped Regs to regain their pride. Of course nobody will ever forget the first GvR when the left foot-forwards destroyed the Goofies in a jam session that many hailed as the most incredible ten minutes of collaborative skateboarding humans had ever witnessed. With the score tied one-to-one, ‘06 will be the year that determines which stance will reign supreme!
This October 20-22 at the etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest, California, GvR brings together the best professional skateboarders in the world aligned by stance, Goofy foot and Regular foot, in the end-all-be-all barometer of stance domination.
Team Goofy has appointed Dave Swift, editor-in-chief of The Skateboard Mag, as their captain, while the Regulars appointed SLAP Magazine’s Mark Whiteley and Joe Brook as co-captains. Each team captain will choose five skaters worthy to go right to the finals, while the rest of the riders must endure Saturday’s Qualifiers to make the cut. Ten per team will qualify on Saturday and fifteen skaters from each team will then compete in the finals on Sunday.
Sanctioned by the World Cup of Skateboarding, etnies GvR has invited more than 100 of the top professional skateboarders from around the world to compete for the $70,000 purse and supreme stance braggin’ rights. Invitees include 2005 GvR MVP’s Ronnie Creager (Goofy) and Chris Cole (Regular), Ryan Sheckler, Bastien Salabanzi, Andrew Reynolds, Nyjah Huston, Rodrigo TX, Colt Cannon, Jereme Rogers, Mark Appleyard and many more.
A highlight of the weekend will be a special performance by the Beastie Boys immediately following the contest at 8 p.m. on Saturday night. Stay tuned to the etnies GvR web site, gvr.etnies.com, to find out how to get free tickets.
