The jam format that offered a flurry of skateboard action in a 15-minute stretch was a big attraction Saturday as The Board Bin staged its 10th Almost Annual Ketchum Skate Park contest for 35 skaters.

Overall high-point winner at the Guy Coles Memorial Skate Park was Jens Peterson. "Best Trick" went to Brian Dressell with a hard flip. And the "Best Crash" honor was taken by 11-12 winner Clyde Montgomery.

"It was a good turnout and a fun format as the skaters stayed in order while trying to get as many runs as possible in the 15-minute period," said race organizer Andy Gilbert.

He added, "It's hard to believe that we've had the Ketchum Skate Park for 15 years in September. We're trying to get a barbecue together to mark the occasion."

On Sunday, three Wood River Valley skaters competed in the McCall Concrete Rodeo event. Ben Parker won the overall championship in the elimination format and 9-10 class winner Jedson Waters was second overall. Fairbrother took the 18-24 age class.

Saturday's age class results from Ketchum Skate Park:

Ages 10-and-under: 1—Jedson Waters. 2—Wyatt Minor. 3—Ryder Sarchett.

Ages 11-12: 1—Clyde Montgomery. 2—Frenchie. 3—Eli Roberts.
