Its a very simple thing. A great local skatepark called the Radnor. A pair of really motivated teen skateboarders and a collection of skaters and supporters of skateboarding. The first battle started simply by word of mouth. Two teens, Trey Dixon and Julian Smith, decided to get to work to hold a local skate competition that would not only be fun for all of the local skaters, but would also help raise money for specific causes. They selected the organizations that would benefit from the proceeds and got to work organizing. In a short time, they were able to secure a couple of sponsors that donated the prizes given to the winners of the competitions. The first event was basically one very large GAME OF SKATE. After spreading the word around town via phone calls, text messages, Myspace & Facebook messages and so on, a small but solid crowd of skaters showed up, signed up and competed. It was great success.
With the success of the first BATR behind them yet still fresh in the brains, it was time to start planning the second event. One that is expected to be bigger and better… More skaters competing, more types of contests and of course, more significant sponsors. With a newly selected charity to be the benefit from the attendance numbers, BATR2 is expected to be truly the start of something great.

Am Slam Chula 09 - Chase Webb Second Place I really though Chase was going to win. I saw him a few weeks ago ripping at the Damn Am and I would have put my money on him. He's super consistent and that 5050 the steep hubba was huge. I'm not sure if I'd want to walk down that thing.
Am Slam Chula 09 - Austin First Place Austin won because he had a cute dog. Actually he won because he seemed to never fall. He was one of the few skaters who used their full run, landing tricks from the beginning all the way til the last second.
Am Slam Chula 09 - Brando Third Place This kid was skating good all day. He kept doing those hardflips across the flat, he definitely deserved third place.
Am Slam Chula 09 Montage Kids from all over Southern California came out to skate the Sun Diego Am Slam contest at Chula Vista. Lots of little groms, and a few older guys. All the skating was sick, but that kickflip attempt at the end was ridiculous! That quarterpipe needs to be seen in person, it's like the megaramp.
Am Slam Chula 09 - Tommy Sandoval Since Tommy Sandoval skates Chula Vista park regularly, he decided to come out and have an honorary run. Of course it didn't count in the competition, but it was still cool to see. He said he was injured, but I couldn't tell from that huge gap to lip!
