Westside Skateshop Sinks Competition at Red Bull Battleship

Red Bull Battleship was christened on a clear and crisp Saturday afternoon in the coastal town of Wilmington, NC. Despite the unseasonably cool temperatures, a crowd of 750 came out to witness the first skate competition on a decorated WWII battleship.

Skateboarder, FTK, Focus and Line Up were stoked to come out and cover the event that brought out the core skate shops in the southeast. Locally, the Wilmington Star-News and NBC affiliate WECT were on-site to cover the event while alternative rock station, Surf 98, promoted the event on-air.

Here are two links to same day coverage in the local market:
