Kaj, kdaj in kje?
V nedeljo, 23. avgusta 2009 se bo na TRNfestu odvijalo skejt tekmovanje, ki bo brezplačno za vse ljubitelje tega športa. Premierno pri nas in verjetno tudi v svetu se bo izvedla disciplina, katero se po Fogy-jevo splača imenovati kar »Game of the Lines«, saj združuje elemente iz tekmovanj Game of Skate in Lord Of The Lines.

Kako pa stvar zgleda in poteka?
Vsi prijavljeni skejterji igrajo drug proti drugem, pare določi naključni žreb, kdo pa prvi kaže svojo linijo trikov, pa določi met kovanca oziroma roe sham bo (rock-paper-scissors).
V predtekmovanju je potrebno v liniji odpeljati 2 trika po lastnem izboru, katere mora nasprotnik ponoviti – v primeru napake, nasprotnik dobi kazensko črko (po 5 črkah, ki sestavljajo besedo S-K-A-T-E, tekmovalec izpade iz nadaljnega tekmovanja).
Triki se v igri ne smejo ponavljati, pomembno pa je tudi to, da med 1. in 2. trikom obračanje ne velja (kar pomeni, da če je bil prvi trik npr. Bs 180, mora biti drugi trik izveden ali v stance-u fakie oziroma switch). Dvobojev bo toliko, dokler ne dobimo 8 finalistov, ki se bodo porazdelili v 4 pare po 2, tam pa bo linija vsebovala 3 trike in tudi tam se trik ne sme ne ponoviti in obračanje med njimi ne bo dovoljeno.

Ali veljajo vsi triki?
Ne! Veljavni triki so vsi tisti, ki so dovoljeni v igri »game of skate«, kar pomeni, da odpadejo grabi, triki, kjer gre noga s skejta dol, triki pa morajo biti s popom (odpade torej boneless, no comply, underflip, razne shove-it in bigspin kombinacije »po tleh« etc...)
Vabljeni torej vsi na festival Trnfest, v nedeljo 23. avgusta 2009 popoldne (štart predvidoma okrog 15.00), da skupaj poskusimo to novo disciplino, da se ekipno spije kakšno pivo in da se zažura ob punk-rock ritmih benda A Wilhelm Scream, ki sledi takoj, ko se tekmovanje zaključi!

What, when and where?
On Sunday 23 August 2009 Trnfest will be hosting a free skate contest for all fans of this sport. For the first time in Slovenia and probably the world, the contest will involve a discipline that top skater Fogy has dubbed "Game of the Lines", since it combines elements of the Game of Skate and Lord of the Lines events.

What's it all about?
All competing skaters are paired off (by random draw) and compete against each other. A coin toss or rock-paper-scissors decides who goes first. In the pre-competition the first skater does 2 tricks of his choice which his opponent must then repeat – failure results in a penalty letter (skaters who accumulate 5 penalty letters, making up the word S-K-A-T-E, are eliminated). Tricks cannot be repeated and there is no turning round between the first and second trick (which means that if the first trick is, for example, a Bs 180, the second trick has to be done in a fakie or switch stance).
The one-on-one competition continues until there are 8 finalists who are then divided into 4 pairs. The line now contains 3 tricks and once again tricks cannot be repeated and there is no turning round between tricks.
Are all tricks valid? No! The only valid tricks are those allowed in Game of Skate, which means no grabs or tricks where the foot touches the ground. Tricks must include a pop (which means that boneless, no comply, underflip, various shove-it and bigspin combinations "on the ground" etc. are out).
So come to Trnfest on Sunday 23 August 2009 (the contest will start at around 15.00) and try out this new discipline, have a beer with other skaters and party to the punk rock sounds of A Wilhelm Scream (the concert starts as soon as the contest is over).
