Competition watered down by steady rain
From the Niagara Falls Review:
Oakville teen Jonathan Cosentino was one of the few skateboarders who got to show off his tricks at what was billed as Canada’s largest skateboarding competition in Niagara Falls over the weekend.
Steady rain Saturday turned the “Take the Cake” contest into a soggy affair and forced a competition among 15 professional skateboarders to be watered down Saturday.
West 49, a chain of stores that sell skateboard gear and apparel, sponsored the event offering $100,000 in total prize money.
It turned the stage at Oakes Garden Theatre into a temporary outdoor skatepark for the weekend.

West 49 Take The Cake in Niagara Falls
I don’t know where I’ve been for the last few months, but I’m just hearing about this now (even though the earliest reference I can see about this is back in May). West 49 has an event called Take the Cake that will take place at the beginning of October:
To mark 15 years as Canada’s largest retail skateboard shop, West 49 is celebrating in a big way. West 49 Take The Cake skateboard contest will take place in Niagara Falls, Ontario in October 2010.
On Saturday, October 2, 2010, West 49 Take The Cake will erupt Oakes Garden Theatre in Niagara Falls featuring 10 of the worlds most influential and recognizable pro skaters throwing down their best tricks for a $100,000.00 CASH prize. Canada’s largest Cash purse event in Canada.
Attending skaters will be Ryan Sheckler, Paul Rodriguez, Chaz Ortiz, Torey Pudwill, Sierra Fellers, Corey Duffel, Darrell Stanton, Alex Olson, Chima Ferguson, Brandon Westgate, Shuriken Shannon, Matt Miller, Paul Trep, Grant Patterson and Tom Asta. I’m not familiar with these names (it’s not really my crowd), but a quick search shows that some of these people are quite famous.
It looks like it will cost $40 to attend.
UPDATE: @NiagaraParksPR let me know that there will be general admission tickets available for $10 and a weekend pass will be $15.
