etnies' own Bastien Salabanzi took the 10th annual Tampa Pro street contest by storm, grabbing top honors at the time-honored skateboarding event at the Skatepark of Tampa!

Bastien's technical wizardry, combined with his smooth and effortless style, was the perfect way to celebrate the 10th anniversary of one of skateboarding's most beloved contests. To say he was skating well over the weekend would be a big understatement. Actually, his performance was nothing less than incredible, leaving judges and spectators alike in awe.

Kickflip frontside boardslides to fakie down the fun box rail, backside 180 flips and Cab flips over the huge pyramid, 360 flips up the gap, as well as switch heelflips down it, were just a few of the difficult moves Bastien pulled consistently throughout his runs. The crowd and judges roared in approval as Bastien easily stomped his way into the top spot.

etnies would like to wish the Skatepark of Tampa another ten years of great skateboarding contests, as well as congratulate Bastien on an incredible contest win!
