Winners of the Inside Scooters Best of 2009 Awards!

So 2009 has been a big year for our sport. From the release of the first mass produced (which I say because the now defunct Cedar Scooters sold 5 decks) aftermarket decks, to the invention of the Standard Compression System, to the expansion of aftermarket wheel companies, this year sure has been big for the aftermarket parts industry. And then there were the competitions. Starting off with the 3rd annual San Diego comp, Cooter Con, and more, leading up to the very first Competition circuit, the Fuzion Raise the Gnar Tour. This was a five stop circuit of competitions that will come to a close this Saturday, at SD4. This year also marked a continuation of progression of riding as well. Tricks such as the Buttercup, Twizzler, 1080, fakie frontflip, and more were landed for the very first time. There were tons of videos displaying not only these new tricks, but more. BenJ Friant's snow scooter video was the first to display legitimate snow scooter riding. Coedie Donovan continued to amaze us with his MaddGear Pro edit. And of course, Matt McKeen's revised TPC Video Journal 9 part rocked not only the scooter world, but caused a ripple among the skate and BMX scenes. 2009 also brought along drama, inevitable among the online boards. Yet many riders were able to keep their online experience drama free. 2009 was a big year for the sport of freestyle scooter riding...a sport that will only continue to grow.

And now, without further ado, here are the winners of the 1st Annual Inside Scooters Best of Awards 2009-

Best Overall Rider: Coedie Donovan

Best Street Rider: Matt McKeen

Best Park Rider: Tyler Bonner

Best Video: Matt McKeen revised TPCVJ9 part
