Let me start by saying that I am absolutely humbled and extremely impressed by all of you tricksters out there that sent in your moves for Week 1 of the Stick Trick Saturday Competition! Over 40 of you sent in videos doing your favorite tricks and now that the east week is behind us, let turn the heat up.

This week I’m doing what I call the Chicken Wing over beautiful Boise, Idaho! It’s all about turning your stick under your arm and stalling the ball on the same sidewall you started with.

Like I mention in the video, this trick is a whole lot easier if you start by getting the motions down without a ball. Add in the ball, nail the trick, get it on film and send it to editor@laxallstars.com for one more entry!

STICK TRICK COMPETITION

Welcome to WEEK 2 of our 2015 Stick Trick Saturday Competition! Like always, everyone who sends in their stick trick videos for the first time will receive a LAS Prize Pack. But now, once you’ve submitted your first video, you will begin to collect points!

This week the user MUST submit 1 Video of a completed Chicken Wing!
1 Video = 1 Point (Only 1 video per week may be submitted)
Every 5 points you will win a LAS Prize Pack, which will get bigger and better every time!

At the end of 6 months, the trickster with the most points will win a pair of tickets to the 2015 MLL Championship Game in Kennesaw, GA, on top of a ton of other great prizes!

Thanks to Wolf Athletics, we will add more prizes, chances to win and new challenges along the way to make sure everyone has a chance to get hooked up with some killer swag!

Leader Board

Since it is Week 2 of the competition, over 40 contestants are tied for FIRST PLACE! I want to give a special out out to Nick and Alex Wright for their awesome twin combo, Gabriel Sgambettera for the most dangerous background and Rebecca Kinsley for being the first female to submit a video!

Don’t worry, there’s still over 5 months of competitions to collect entries and win the Grand Prize!

First Place

Now it’s time to let the games begin! Go out and get to work, get yourself on film and send it in to editor@laxallstars.com to get hooked up with your first Tomahawk Shades prize pack or start collecting those entries!

That's not stopping him from hopping on airplanes or hitting the road in search of the next adventure. Mark has been officiating for nearly half of his life and has a somewhat unhealthy obsession with crosschecking.
