In just three months the 2009 Schooled Series threw down twelve amateur skateboard comps for men and women 20 and under, each with street, mini-ramp, and bowl events in six states throughout the Northeast. 250 riders from Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Arizona, Spain, Japan, and Ireland competed.

The Finals at Rye Airfield was also a Warp Tour mini-ramp competition qualifier. Fuel TV covered the event for the Weekly Update. Afterward, Zoo York premiered their new video, “State of Mind.” The level of skating was ridiculous with riders of all ages throwing down some truly sick stuff. Each overall winner by age group won a week at Camp Woodward. A huge thanks goes out to the Schooled Series judges who feature Hoodlum skateboard pro, Toebee Parkhurst, along with Eric Breton and Adam Fearing.
