I'm all caught up in the Chaz Ortiz fan frenzy happening here in Cleveland: Once Sheckler sha-clack-clacked his arm, all the screaming teen girls turned their fickle fandom on the 14-year-old rookie. He was in 1st place in Finals before the 6-man jam session that is Part II of the competition, and I figured him for the winner in that too, blinded as I was by all the crowd populism, the copious amounts of Mountain Dew Code Red I consumed at a Dew-sponsored party last night while everyone else was getting loaded at the open bar, and the fact that Chaz actually totally rips, and not "rips for a 14 year-old" rips, either, just plain-ol' rips. Even winner Paul Rodriguez, sitting pretty on his pile of Maloof money from last week, seemed to think Ortiz had deserved the win, but then that's P-Rod for you, too. Anyway... Pretty good contest. See for yourself. Watching it now on video, I can see that P-Rod did some sick switch stuff in the jam session and used a bit more of the course than Chaz. Still, tough call for the judges. Maybe next time, Chaz!
