"There have been many great contests and events in our sports history but none have withstood the test of time like the Colorado Road Trip (CORT), which is celebrating it’s 20th Anniversary this summer. During CORT skaters from around the world gather in the Rocky Mountains to skate several amazing concrete parks during the day and then camp at majestic spots in national forests. After skating you can relax in hot springs or cool off in various lakes and rivers. Many people make side trips to go hiking and there are plenty of people skating through the campsites on their off-road blades. I spoke to Luke Bender, who has been keeping the Colorado Road Trip alive all these years, about the trip’s history, some of his favorite moments and what one should expect as a first timer. I really hope that those of you who have never been, or those of you who haven’t been in years, will make it to 20th Anniversary from August 2nd-6th. It will be an experience you will never forget!" - Jan Welch
