Welcome to: Benny's Brisbane Skateboard Directory The site for skaters in Brisbane, Australia Compiled by Mark Brimson     X-Fest 1999     X-Fest was a local festival event held over a few days and being run primarily by a church organisation. As far as I know, it was not an anual event and will probably not be happening at all in the future.   ***** Run down of the day *****   There was a skateboarding part of the X-fest, held not so long ago at the Springwood State High School, on the playing field there. The Toolbox people helped them out by providing a ramp for them to have their little comp and general skate for the day. We built it at the Toolbox shed, had a couple of rolls on it to make sure it was ok, loaded it on the back of a truck and kissed it goodbye.   After we got the ramp set up just right, skaters had a bit of a mad snake session before a little comp was held. Issac judged, I did mic and everything went down quite smoothly. The results got lost in all the fun of the rest of the day, but I think a local called "Dave" got first in senior, with Lil' Jay getting the junior winner place. These are some pics from that day...   The ramp being brought in on the back of a truck   Load number 1     Load number 2   The finished product   Issac Brown is the local from the Toolbox, the man behind the show, you could say. From time to time he stops running things and has a bit of a skate. It just goes to show he has the know how and the skill to back it all up.   Ollie blunt on the extension   Lein catch off the extension   Colin Kaye turned up and had a bit of a skate. I think he liked the ramp we made. When he does skate, he doesn't do anything in halves.
