Nike SB teamed up with Levi’s to make some really great jeans with Levi’s quality and Nike technology. If you haven't seen the Omar Salazar commercial for this, do yourself a huge favor and look it up right now. To celebrate the release of this top dollar denim, we threw a Death Race around the Park, had some free beers and Cuban food, and gave out some of the awesome Nike x Levi’s products to the kids. The Death Races were so much fun that we’ll be doing them again!

Alex Bowers

MP3J AlBow was playing nothing the best jams all day.

Ryan Clements

Clements got a few tricks on the small quarter-pipe before the Races. This was a back disaster to sugarcane.

Brandon Knowles

Brandon Knowles had the Death Race route all figured out since he basically skates the Park in that same style anyway. Before he had to worry about going too fast he pushed this back smith around the corner.

The free Cuban food we got was a big hit and the grown-ups loved the PBRs, too. Glad you enjoyed the grub!

Casey Stewart

Casey Wayne was servin' up the good eatin' all day and making sure people stayed full.

Arsenio from Levi’s had a blast. He skated and filmed the fun stuff we did and just generally hung with everyone all day.

Since Rob was holding it down in Copenhagen during the event, I did a foot fetish with Wit-E Beats, Wife-E Beats, and some kid with FUBU knock-off Jordans. Wit-E was tripping really hard on those kicks.

The Races were a hit and guys were going for it. These guys took full pushes a few feet after getting down the roll-in.

The speed wobbles got to people. This guy lost control and slammed into the ledge.

Nike made these awesome Omar Salazar booklets to go with the jean release and people loved them. Come by the Shop and grab one.

You could either grind the coping or roll (or run in certain cases) on the deck to get to the finish line. Max had it dialed by saving time and rolling in with proper technique.
