Joey Mantia Wins After Bad Crash and Restart In Banked Track Inline Speed Skating Elimination Race

The field of world class inline speed skaters in this banked track elimination race was truly staggering. So many legends in one race and Joey Mantia controlled most of the race despite surviving a nasty crash early in the race. A few of the skaters got tangled up coming out of first corner, causing a pretty bad fall for a few of the skaters.

Joey Mantia was tripped and flew over another skater to tumble down onto the concrete. Jonathan Garcia got the worst of the crash and took a little bit to get back to his feet. Amazingly both skaters recovered quickly skated very well when the race restarted.

Did I say that the field was stacked with incredible inline athletes? There were World Champions, National Champions, Pan Am Champions, Regional Champions, and just a ton of Champions in this race. Just to name a few, you had Olympic speed skaters Joey Mantia, Chris Creveling and Jonathan Garcia. There were so many other big names, including Michael Cheek, Jarrett Paul, Sebastian Cano, Jimmy Blair, Mike Jackson, and more. We even had a couple top Colombian inline speed skaters in there as well.

The banked track velodrome is located at Brian Piccolo Park in Palm Beach, Florida. Every top inline speed skater in the US has trained at the velodrome either to race or train for a world championship event. Great race here with many legends of the sport. Enjoy the race!
