Zumiez Best Foot Forward (BFF) Am contest series presented by Monster Energy gave amateur skaters the chance to rise up and march on. The 3rd annual contest series was an opportunity for Zumiez and Monster Energy to help unearth the next up-and coming amateur skaters in communities across the country. The invitational jam format Am contest series kicked off at Broken Arrow Skatepark in Tulsa, OK on May 23rd and Tempe Skatepark in Tempe, AZ on May 26th before joining up for all 12 stops of the Zumiez Couch Tour 2009.

The 2009 contest threw down next-level skating at each stop across the country. The overall top 3 from the BFF finals in Minneapolis: Anthony Grant from Portland Oregon, Ishod Wair from Philadelphia, and John Oskvarek from Chicago got an all expense paid trip to the Hometown Heroes finals at X-Games 15 in Los Angeles.

Twenty spots in each local BFF qualifier are up for grabs for the first 20 skaters to register. The top three skaters from each BFF open qualifier will be invited to compete in the BFF contest later that day.
The top Am skater from each of the 13 BFF contest stops will be flown to the last stop of the Zumiez Couch Tour at 3rd Lair Skatepark in Minneapolis, MN to compete in the Best Foot Forward Finals. The winners from the 14 BFF stops were:

Another possible rain-out in this crazy summer so far, but all ended up prefect in sunny skies and the best demo so far. The Toy Machine Bloodsucking Skateboard Company came to town fully loaded with their already amazing team, plus newly acquired pro Leo Romero too!
Legend Ed Templeton, skated fast and hard with signature impossibles, Smith grinds and nose blunts. Hometown favorite Josh Harmony (who went to High School literally down the street) had the crowd pumped with his creative lines. Johnny Layton was boosting huge as usual with massive tre flips, and even a switch tre over the pyramid. Billy Marks destroyed the pyramid among other parts of the course, with a tre to flat and a line that included nollie heel flip and a full cab flip!!! Leo Romero took the spotlight with an onslaught of handrail and flat bar tricks like back tail, crooks, crook transfers, lip slide, and a highlight run of 50-50 UP the handrail to front crooks down it!!! Having tons of pros coming through the Toy Machine ranks, this rendition seems to be the best ever.

The best trick after trick session I’ve ever seen!

The Minneapolis finals were going off with Cody Davis landing tricks consistently and every couple of seconds to take 1st. 13 year old ripper Jack Olson landed big spin fs board and switch Barley grind down the handrail and blasted a big nollie big spin disaster on the quarter to get 2nd place. CJ Tambarino took 3rd with a nollie tre flip and nollie half cab heel up the euro, nollie big flip across the gap, nollie big spin inward heel too!!!
O.K. let me start by saying that there is no way that that I can describe or list all of the stuff that went down at this year’s Zumiez BFF Finals, so watch the video for most of it, or just show up next year to witness the most insane 30 minute session ever! Zumiez flew out the winners of all the other BFF stops to compete in the Finals and have a great trip out to the land of 10,000 lakes. Stuart Dodge (Aurora IL winner) landed nollie bs lip and nollie bs 5-0, also nollie bs flip on the double set. Zac Ferrell (Eatontown NJ) got nollie big spin bs lip, kick flip bs lip and kick flip fs board down the handrail. Ed Camp (Puyallup WA) had a fs big spin and fs flip on the double set, he also did bs heel and kf melon on the gap. Tommy Werner (Milpitas CA) had fs board body varial lip slide and hurricane down the handrail, and launched out to 50-50 stall on the wooded rail behind the platforms. Christian Sereika (Layton UT) had a smooth bs heel down the double set. Ke’chaud Johnson (Plano TX) landed fs 270 lip, switch 50, switch lip and nollie nose grind down the handrail. Ishod Wair (North Wales PA) landed a big flip fs board and fs big spin board fakie down the handrail, switch flip and switch tre down the double, landed multiple hardflips and switch flips over the pyramid and fs flipped everything. Anthony Grant (Portland OR) got 3rd with kick flip back tail shuv, kick flip back tail fakie, kf bs lip fakie, nollie flipped and nollie big heeled the pyramid, and showed off his tranny skills with a huge floating kick flip fakie on the quarter. Cody Davis (Maplewood MN) after killing the Minneapolis BFF earlier in the day got even dirtier with kick flip back smith, fs board kick flip, bs lip kick flip, and kf crook down the handrail. Then he tre flipped, hard flipped, switch heeled and switch fs big spinned down the double. To show off his tech quarter pipe skills Cody also did nollie bs kick flip tail and nollie half cab heel too. Julian Christianson (Denver CO) showed why and how he won the HH Finals last year with nollie tail fakie, nollie smith, board to feeble and switch 270 board to fakie down the handrail. Then he got a switch fs shuv, switch heel, switch varial heel, nollie big spin, nollie big spin heel, nollie back heel and switch fs 360 on the Double set. He also had time for a switch tail, switch lip, nollie crooks, nollie feeble and nollie heel board on the gap to rail. He killed the pyramid too, then had nollie bs lip on the bump to bar drop and switch lip revert on quarter.
The top 3 all won all expense paid trips to compete in the 5th annual Hometown Heroes Am Finals, as part of the 5th annual etnies Goofy vs. Regular contest at the etnies Skatepark in Lake Forest California in the first weekend of October.
