Sweeney puts UK on the map at Volcom’s TXOTX comp

London ripper Aaron Sweeney woke up €4000 better off this morning after winning the Volcom´s TXOTX mini-ramp comp that went down at Durango in the Basque Country this weekend.

By all accounts the skateboarding ripped as you can see from this rock-fakie by Sweeney on the ridiculous over-vert section that was built for this comp- obviously fueled by the lashings of apple cider that was allegedly on offer all weekend. Over 2000 people crammed in to watch the contest and bands, read the results below and look out for footage this week.

1º Aaron Sweeney 4000€
2º Alain Goikoetxea 1800€
3º Ivan Rivado 900€
4º Ibon Mariño 450€
5º Otavio 350€
6º Guillaume Mocquin 300€
7º Jaime de Lopegui 250€
8º Manuel Alvarez 200€
9º Jose Manuel Roura 150€
10º Xabi Elorriaga 100€

Best Trick. Manuel Alvarez: Frontside nosepick to fakie on the Stone for €500.
