Patrick Gudauskas, a friend of the BNQT posse, just made a lil bit of history at the Sri Lankan Airlines Pro (say what?!). During the 6-star 'QS event in the round of 24, Pat was facing elimination as he sat in third position. When a nice ola swept his way, he grabbed it, pumped down the line and took to the air as he completed the first ever rodeo clown in competition. For those unaware, a rodeo clown consists of a 360-degree inverted flip. Basically, a RC = a filthy automatic 10 point ride (see video below).

After the heat, Pat said: I knew I needed a very solid score on that wave...and as that final section approached I could see it lining up ideally so I focused on going for the rodeo. It was there to be done and I had to do it said Gudauskas.

So Patty G nabbed his 10 and advanced to the round of 16, where he will face off against former-CT shredster Cory Lopez. Wanna learn more about Pat? Hopefully you'll be seeing him on the 'CT next year, but for now check out the BNQT interview with him below...

Shades of Skate

Shades of Skate

Early this summer BNQT filmer Grant Schubert hitched a ride with the Anon Optics skate team as they loaded into a rental RV and perused through the Pacific Northwest. The crew: Nuge, Clint Peterson, Brian "Slash" Hansen, Pat Melcher, Tom "The Bomb" Bonilla and Garreth Stehr show multiple shades of skate as they strum guitars by campfire at night and slay smooth concrete trannies by day.
