The folks over at MLM in Canada have just held their second contest – a mixed Pro-Am, similar to last year’s L&A Expo. Here’s the report direct from MLM’s Justin Clapp-Lloyd:
“The 2026 International Freestyle Expo was a major upgrade from last year. We had skaters from Germany, Chile, the USA and both coasts of Canada. The level of competition was high, but we kept the family reunion vibes strong. Pete Betti ended up taking the win, followed by Bryce Noe, then James Cordaway.
CJ’s Indoor Skatepark was a perfect venue, shout-out to Jay, Mike, Kevin and all the awesome staff who helped make the event run as smoothly as possible. Special thanks goes out to all our sponsors (Protostyle, Tepi Skates, CalStreets, Decomposed, Etnies, Control MFG and Moonshine). We can’t wait to do it all again next year!”
