There's a street contest going on on the other side of town in two weeks, and I'm thinking about entering and freestyling

I've never tried to formulate a 2 minute run before, but my friend called me today and told me about the contest while I was skating, and the second I heard it I started trying to make one, and I'm already having a lot of fun doing it.

The only problems are 1) My consistency is low for a lot of the tricks I enjoy doing, and 2) The skatepark is odd. Most of the ramps are in the flat of an overly wide bowl. I don't think there's a good, wide-open flat section for me to skate.

What do you guys think?

yeah I'd say go for it. Even if you don't place or anything it's getting freestyle out there and other people exposed to it. My local park is doing a contest for Go Skateboarding Day the 21st and as long as I don't have to be somewhere by time the am contest starts I've been planning on entering and just doing a freestyle run. Should be fun! :)

I just need to enter by the 27th. So I'm going to see how putting together a full run goes.
