We also had some mini contests. This is from the 10-second sleeper contest. There were also some players that did other tricks instead of just a sleeper, haha…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rei tried it with an unexpected top-on spin!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_2351\" \"IMG_2366\" \"IMG_2372\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Forward Pass Speed Challenge mini contest. This time we had General and Pro (Sponsored and contest-ranked players) Divisions.<\/p>\n
