12th Annual Tim Brauch Memorial Contest

Sunday October 3rd marked day two of twelfth annual Tim Brauch Memorial Skate Contest.  Held at Cunningham skatepark in San Jose, the event was put on by Sessions, one of Brauch's many sponsors.  Hundrds showed up to celebrate Tim Brauch's memory by watching the contest unfold all day Sunday.

The contest started at 10:30 Sunday morning with girls skating followed by the groms.  Locals had a chance to rip before stepping aside for the Grandmasters starting just afternoon.  Here are some of the highlights featuring unbelievable skating from the Grandmasters throwing down in the Skull Bowl
