DETROIT BLADES: Delta City Open 2017

Detroit goes hard — it’s no secret. And a few weeks ago that gritty spirit was on display again for the seventh Delta City Open street comp rightfully christened “All Groms Go to Heaven.” Photo team Chris and Michelle Gerard were on hand to capture a ton of pics of the day’s events, and co-host Sean Patrick Quinn provides the words that bring you up to speed. Now cruise through a gallery of skating from Brian Weis, Grant Hazleton, Luke Naylor, Don Bambrick and more.

Each and every Memorial Day weekend marks an unofficial holiday for Detroit bladers — the Delta City Open. We are very honored to have hosted our seventh real-street competition, DCO VII: All Groms Go to Heaven. It’s a tradition that taps the talents of our great scene to throw the rowdiest and most raucous street-blading event. This year’s champion was none other than Detroit’s own Brian Weis. He was followed by Luke Naylor and Don Bambrick, with Theo Partin winning Haunted Wheel Co’s “Spookiest Trick.” So take a look at all these pics:

We love to have fun, get wild, and create a memorable day for everyone. The most cherished quality of our infamous weekend is the photo work of Chris and Michelle Gerard. It is a pleasure to present you with a few selections of this year’s photo set. We’d like to thank ONE for the opportunity to share our good times with you. Thanks to Grant Hazleton for all the help prepping spots, and for making the trip to shred with us. Thank you, Al Dolega, for making our aspirations reality.
