After the contest we packed up and the guys from ES wanted to get some seafood. Since most if not all of them had never been to New England we headed up the coast to Essex to get some fried clams at Woodman's . Matt Jagman and some of the guys that drove al the way from Theory also came up to get some food before the drive home.




We were practically knee deep in deep fried.

Thanks to all 101 people who entered and everyone who came to watch. Special thanks to Jay, Matt, and all the guys at ES, Transworld and Skullcandy for picking Eaastern Boarder to host the Game of Skate and thank to everyone at the Beverly YMCA for letting us use the basketball courts.
