Volcom Stone presents:

Txotx! 2010

Miniramp Contest Durango Spain

On Saturday, May 15, 2010 in the contest Miniramp TXOTX of Volcom took place as every year. Once again the set up of the Miniramp was different. This time with 18 meters wide, over a section of green and three extensions to 90 °. The skaters came from all over Europe, as well as Argentina and Brazil.

Local riders began the session. After a few warm up runs, they have shown what can be done on the Vertical Miniramp. Riders like Rivado, Guillaume Mocquin, Emilio Arnanz, Alex Giraud, Micky Iglesias, Ibon Mariño, Andy Scott and many others have shown their skills to the delight of the public who had appeared numerous. Unfortunately, Julien Benoliel got injured during qualifying. We wish him a speedy recovery.

In the finals, skaters have demonstrated a firework of tricks. More than 2000 visitors pushed the finalists to their limits. Five riders drove the crowd: William Mocquin, Ibon Marino, Ivan Rivado Alain GTX and Aaron Sweeney were unstoppable this day.

The band VOXSON heated up the best trick contest to give an extra push to the session. In 2010 the Txotx! contest was a great success again. Thank you Volcom!
