Flash Forward: KTR Skaters Prepare for PHX AM

The 12th Annual PHXAM is right around the corner on April 6 & 7!  Five KTR skaters will be competing in the event: Augie Lerma, Jett Eaton, Jagger Eaton, Alana Smith and Deshawn Jordan. Skating KTR together for as long as they can remember, these friends are now skating in the PHX AM together! One of the youngest riders in the competition at age 12, and possibly the only girl is Alana Smith.  This will be Jagger’s 3rd year at Tampa Am, he placed 18th out of 184 competitors last year. With another year under his belt and placing 3rd at Tampa Am, this should be a good contest! Good luck guys!  If you would like to purchase tickets to watch this event, click here.

Jagger Eaton places among the top at PHX AM!

Last weekend was the Phoenix Am, one of the most highly regarded and respected Am skate contests in the nation.  With that being said, the talent that shows up is insane.  21 year old Ben Hatchell took first this year, but 11 year old Jagger Eaton was close behind.  Just barely missing the finals, Jagger came in 18th out of 184 contestants! Congrats Jagger!

Kids That Rip! in Mesa is Jagger’s home skatepark, so if you want to skate with him, come to a summer camp or open skate.  You’re likely to see him shredding, and pick up some good tips.
