Trey Wood Skates to Second in Boise Qualifier

The crowd was treated to world-class park skateboarding at the Rhodes Skate Park bowl course underneath an I-184 Interstate bridge in downtown Boise. The concrete park with its broad selection of pool corners, wall rides, and banks was renovated two years ago and is fully accessible to the public year-round at no charge.  

The finals unfolded in a session-like atmosphere with Tristan Rennie setting the bar high by posting an 85.33-point score. After stepping off his board on his first two attempts, it all came down to Wood’s third and final run. No stranger to high-pressure situations, Trey secured his qualification for this summer’s X Games by landing a perfect run. Standouts included a frontside nosebone over the hip, ollie up to frontside Smith grind in the pool corner, frontside noseblunt on the bank, backside disaster in the deep end, frontside nose bonk on the wallride, heelflip stalefish air and alley-oop frontside air over the hip, and a huge backside 540 in the pool corner for 83.00 points and second place.

Wood started his 2018 season by winning the Converse Concrete Jam bowl competition during the 24th Tampa Pro skateboard contest in March. The 17-year-old rookie pro, known for his appearances in Big Air events at the X Games from a young age, is emerging as a top competitor on the global park riding circuit. Recently relocated from his native Queen Creek, Arizona to San Diego, Trey has been fine-tuning his moves at Southern California’s concrete skate parks and is one to watch as he makes his sixth X Games appearance this summer.
