You're announcing style made an impression because usually it's some guy yelling into the mic repeating "Back in the day we used to get rad with this guy... blah blah blah..." Announcing a skate session has got to be a hard job to do without being annoying. Watch the old NSA vids and it's the same thing.</p> Good point Jack.

Hey, that’s me, Jack Smith doing the announcing. Hmmm, golf style you say. I think the skaters should be the center of attention, too many times I’ve been at skate events where the announcer seems to want to be the “star”.

Yep, Wally” was involved in putting on the event as was Gareth Roe, both did great work.

Not bad for a guy who didn't even think he would qualify.</p> <p>The events went off awesome and the bowl jam was frikkin' epic. Estes is indeed born to broadcast and I won't be surprised when he'll be on Sportscenter sometime in the future.</p> Congrats to local Skip Marcotte to winning 2nd place in the Open slalom, he’s like 2nd in North America right now or something.
