44 skateboarders and BMX riders from ages 6 to 34 gathered in Canon City, CO, to compete in the Revolver Games organized by Omar Short, middle school youth director of the Evangelical Free Church. About 300 people attended the event throughout the day including professional skateboarder Uriel Luebcke, (sponsored by Nike and Untitled Skateboards)."It's a little different level than just coming out and hanging out to skate," he said, "the point is to honor their sport, with BMX and skateboarding--to put on a real-deal competition that has them compete with people around Colorado." Along with honoring the sport they share a simple message of hope. This year 13 people accepted Christ as their Savior.
