2000 YOZ Games
Event Recap - By Mat Bandelow

Munich Germany - August 8, 2000
The YOZ (Youth Only Zone) Games took place in Munich, Germany and included only a small contingent of four American skaters. Jon Julio, Jaren Grob, Dustin Latimer and Kevin Gillan were the four who made the trip all the over to Germany. Jon and Jaren were the only two who were able to break into the obviously European dominated final and they ended up in 4th and 5th places respectively. It was however a European show and they took their rightful places atop the medal podium. In third place was Bruno Lowe from Munich, Germany followed by Anthony Mackie out of Northwich, England. The number one spot, to no one's surprise went to the hottest skater on the tour this year, Sven Boekhorst. Filling out the rest of the top ten on street was Samo Bajec in 6th, Thierry Lallemand in 7th, Marc Dubied in the 8th spot, Martina Svobodova in 9th and Alexis Ecija in 10th.

Instead of holding the typical Vert contest. The YOZ Games was the second stop on the Pro Tour to feature a bowl competition. A bowl is a little different than a vert ramp, but the results are still the same. Eito and Takeshi Yasutoko again took the top two spots. Eito in first and Takeshi in second. Taig Khris was able to capture third place away from Manuel Billiris in fourth. Young Tobias Bucher skated well enough to beat out the great Cesar Mora by a half point for 5th place. Although Sven is an unstopable force on street he has proven to be human on the vert ramp, coming up a little short in 7th place. Jaren Grob, the lone American in the bowl field took the 8th spot, followed by Matteo Attanasio in 9th and Franck Rodulfo in 10th. The bowl competition even saw the return to competition by veteren Rene Hulgreen out of Cpenhagen, Denmark who took 11th.
