From the Admin of Battle at the Border, thank you to everyone who stuck it out with us this weekend, made their travel plans flexible, and worked with us to see the full competition through to the very end.

To all of the competitors, sponsors, vendors, volunteers, spectators, and to the venue, we cannot put into words how much we appreciate your flexibility with the time schedule being condensed into one day. Everything went more smoothly than expected, and we were able to successfully compete all divisions from start to finish.

We wish safe travels back home to those who are still in Nashville, and again express our gratitude to all who helped make this year one for the books.

5th year consecutively sending it to @eukendamachamp
What an experience and was so amazing to see everyone at the event big shoutout to @kromkendama and ekc for the 5 year coin. Thanks @teodorefiorina for having me help out running the bracket and MCing always an honour

Firstly two of my best friends @chadcovington and @kencastlekd come visit me before the event in Scotland and we have the most amazing time exploring Glasgow and the surrounding areas then I find out my best mate @gino_gaxha is pro genuinely made me emotional buzzing for him so well deserved🙌🏻

I really needed that experience and to surround myself with positivity and remind me of just how how much love there is in this community

See everyone next year or at the next one stay safe ❤️

Truly devastating to learn of the passing of the legend that is @fish.uky

Many good memories shared together at @batbkendama a true legend and pioneer of the sport. I am saddened we never got to shred in Glasgow like we spoke about many times. 😔

I always told him I would land it and believe it or not this is the first time I have ever put the parts together and completed the famous fish special. I usually just call “3rd part” in games of Ken those who know that reference will understand. So today it had to be landed in his honour.

Rest in peace brother till we meet again ❤️ by @5konz

Where do I begin with this years post that was one for the books for sure with an imminent snow storm approaching the event was moved to one day 9am Friday to 2am Saturday we ran beg,int,adv,am open,pro open and freestyle in one day back to back!!!

what a grind but doing that with my two of my best friends @chadcovington and @kencastlekd was an honour and I am very thankful to have been brought on the admin team officially this year!! it means the world to be able to contribute to such an amazing event.

Shout out to firstly everyone who showed up and stuck with the schedule changes and adverse weather , shout out to all the vendors,sponsors and people who make this event possible, and finally to all the judges volunteers and everyone who contributed there time and effort.
Special thanks to @chadcovington without your support this would never have been possible 🙌🏻
Thank you all and see you next year ❤️
