Well, this year's WAM (Winnipeg AM Contest - Aug 14-17) came and went in a pleasant blur. My frostbitten gullet has finally healed from constantly sipping on the weekend's heavily favoured beverage: The Iceberg.
But, as many on the trip can attest, a Winnipeg hangover takes longer to subside than most (which accounts for my tardy Bneeth post). As you might already know, WAM 2008's top 3 consisted of, as Magnus Hanson says, "the Sur-Del bulk pack."
1. Ryan Decenzo
2. Scott Decenzo
3. Magnus Hanson

A more elaborate WAM column, along with more articles / photos / video, can be found on Push.ca, which by the way has launched in "beta form"—meaning it's still being fine-tuned and tinkered with while it's live. In the near future, the site will also feature a photo gallery and video highlights from the WAM contest. Be sure to download Silverlight (you can get it on Push.ca) to be able to watch the vids.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank The Forks, The Inn at the Forks, Genico Aiello and Sk8 Skates, as well as the Winnipeg skate community for the hospitality and good times at WAM '08.
(After a few late 'Peg nights, Scoot still managed to switch front blunt a little too easily.)
