Snow Bowl 2026 has come to a close, and we want to congratulate our winners. Silvia Kambouridis in 1st place, Miguel Ramos in 2nd place, and Hayden Ball in 3rd place. A congrats and thank you to all of our ripping competitors!
We wanted to hold a competition like this to bring the communities from our two sports together to celebrate each other’s wins. We also felt that Southern California, and specifically San Diego, is lacking in events and competitions that not only promote the roller skate and inline industries, but also challenge skaters to push their skills and skate outside of their comfort zone.
We were overwhelmed by the amount of support from both communities on the day of the event. It showed us that an event like this is possible if we have enough people willing to put in the work. We learned that if you want to see a change in your community, you have to be the one to change it. If you don’t like it, change it. If it’s not there, create it. Thank you so much to all the rippers that showed up and everyone who helped us set up and run the event without us asking for that support. Showing up matters, and everyone that showed up made a positive impact on the energy of the day. We are so excited to do this again next year. If you were one of those people hesitant to participate or compete, take this as your sign to step outside of your comfort zone and support your community, you never know the positive impact you may have on someone.

Some stills and photos from past sessions. I feel like these skates just elevated me further than where I could’ve gone on my previous pair. Has that ever happened to you?
Thank you @opalope@strongestbabyever@marisa_northcutt for the footage and pictures
Not proper but better.
All of these lines will have to get a repost soon when I’m landing them clean but here’s a progress shot for you.
@echoskatesofficial have a great soul-plate and it’s probably accounting for most of my makes haha
