A big week for Globe yet again as the Thrasher and Globe sponsored Slaughter At The Opera contest with $50,000 prize money (check out article here…) is taking place this coming Saturday March 1st with the following confirmed riders on board:

Mark Appleyard - Eric Koston - Andrew Reynolds - Paul Rodriguez - Stefan Janoski - Rick McCrank - Chris Haslam - Ryan Sheckler - Erik Ellington - Greg Lutzka - Nick Dompierre - Paul Machnau - Jake Duncombe - Brad Staba - Lewis Marnell - Cale Nuske - Jereme Rogers - Darrell Stanton - Adam Dyet - Matt Mumford and many more.

The live webcast starts Friday, February 29th 2008 at 7 pm Pacific Standard Time (so for the Europeans out there, that’s March 1st at 3 am) but the contest starts at 2 in the afternoon in Australia which means 8 in the morning - rise and shine guys, eat some breakfast, watch some skating and then go skating! But first off have a look at the Globe team in Australia on their first day.
