Saturday, SFA Skateboarding Club hosted Nac Bash 2010, “a milestone for collegiate skateboarding,” said Communications and Marketing skateboarding officer, Michael Wilson.
The race was the largest ever in Texas and the first race in the state to include an organized women’s division.
Besides a women’s division, there was also a beginner and expert class. A total of 74 racers competed, which is one less than the IGSA North American Championships last year.
The 74 skaters were made up of Texas A&M's Avante Guard, SLAB, Houston Garage Riders, Team Impact, Carve, Bombsquad, C-ment and independent riders from as far away as Tulsa, Oklahoma!
The event was so huge it even attracted Redbull, who set up tables, umbrellas and coolers. The Redbull girls, a.k.a. the "Wings Team" also showed up for the fun.
Here were the final results:
Expert Winners
1. Brian "Chubs" Cortright (Houston Garage Riders) - $400
2. Dylan Greenbacker (Texas Baked) - $300
3. Dustin Dixon (Bombsquad Longboarding) - $200
SFA’s Skateboarding Club President, Clifton Ellis, took 7th!
Women’s:
1. Courtney Dixon (Bombsquad Longboarding) - $100
2. Ingrid Vanderholt
3. Sarah (C-Ment)
4. Katherine Timeaus (SFASU)

“Our team was ecstatic to host a monumental race that could facilitate competitive riding amongst some of the most talented speed boarders in Texas. Our goal from the start was to encourage growth on the Texas longboard scene, and I can undoubtedly say we more than surpassed the goals we set for ourselves,” said Ellis.
