SMA welcomes Cory Juneau, Lizzie Armanto, Evan Berle and Patrick Bradley to the team
Cory is a 10 year old from San Diego and can skate with the big boys. Unfortunately his age prevented him from being in the Protec Pool Party.
Lizzie is a Santa Monica local and was nicknamed "Lil Wicked" by Pat Ngoho because of her skating abilities. She placed 9th in the Ladies division at Protec Pool Party, her first real contest.
Evan and Patrick are two Santa Monica groms who we flowed for a while. Evan was recommended by Bennett and Tuma while Lil Patrick was recommended by big Pat, and the rest is history. more details...
