CALGARY (Sunday, August 27th, 2006) - American professional Greg Lutzka, a 21- year-old X Games star from Huntington Beach, California, captured his second Slam City Jam men's Street title in three years by finishing first in front of a near capacity crowd at the Calgary Corral at Stampede Park.

Lutzka took home $15,000 in first-place prize money by scoring 94.50 points
and edging out Chad Bartie of Australia, who finished second with 86.25 points
and earned $9,000.

The Calgary crowd, which totalled more than 22,000 in cumulative attendance
over six sessions and three days of men's and women's Street and Vert
competition at Stampede Park, was wowed by impressive performances by a series
of Canadian amateurs who qualified for the big show with their efforts in the
DC Nationals and Es Game of Skate Friday.

Leading the way were Ryan DeCenzo of Delta, B.C. and Magnus Hanson of Surrey,
B.C. Decenzo finished third with 85.00 points while Hanson was fourth with
82.25. Sascha Daley of Courtenay, B.C., the 19-year-old who won the DC
Nationals amateur championships Friday, placed eighth in the men's Street
competition.

Earlier in the day, Lacey Baker of the U.S. won the women's Street title while
Rob Lorifice of the U.S. and Karen Jones of Brazil took top honours in the
Vert competitions, which were held on Tony Hawk's Boom Boom Huck Jam ramp.

More than 100 top skateboarders competed in the 13th Slam City Jam, held in
Calgary for the first time after 12 years in Vancouver. Competitions included
the DC Nationals, the Es Game of Skate, the Slam City men's and women's Vert
and the Slam City men's and women's Street, along with a demonstration Friday
night by international skateboarding icon Tony Hawk and his Grand Jam.
