The 2012 World Round-Up freestyle event took place May 18-21, 2012, at the Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair, about 25 miles east of Vancouver. The event drew competitors from eight different countries and was watched by thousands of spectators. The level of technical tricks was unprecedented. Just trying to capture some of the speed of these moves proved incredibly difficult. Special thanks to contest promoters Monty Little, Kevin Harris and Kai Dunkel, who put on a terrific event. Congratulations to Austin Shelton for picking up the Xylan sponsorship. A big shout out to skate legend Russ Howell, who enters his sixth decade of skating!
