Competitions at Rye Airfield in Rye, N.H. and Skater's Edge in Taunton, Mass. produced three skaters and a BMX finalist from the first weekend of the Gatorade Free Flow Tour. Rye Airfield winners Josh Lane (BMX park), Zac Rose (skate vert), and Giorgio Villone (skate park), as well as Skater's Edge winner Mat Militano (skate park) have all advanced to the Gatorade Free Flow Tour Finals taking place September 16-19. Seventeen-year-old Lane of Portsmouth, N.H. earned the BMX park victory at Rye Airfield, taking his amplitude and style across the entire park. He impressed the crowd and judges when he launched from the jump landing to a superman, whipping the big box -- backwards -- during the final jam session. Matt Ray was second with Brett Silva finishing in third place. "This contest was amazing," Lane said. "I'm gonna train non-stop so I can win the finals." In the skate vert contest, 14-year-old Rose used an almost-flawless run that included alley-oops, two McTwists and some hot coping action to claim the victory. "I've been driving two hours every night to come to Rye to prepare for this event," said Rose of Raymond, ME. "I'm really psyched for the finals in Salt Lake!" http://espn.go.com/action/skateboarding/news/story?id=5218848
