Cheers to another year of skateboarding in Japan with our friends! We brought Chris Blake and Kelly Hart along for the ride this time to join our judges panel.

There were these super rad vans all over the parking lot. People had the backs popped open and were grilling out and sleeping in them. I want one.
Paul had to help Chris up after he flew down a slide into a puddle for the SPoT Life Day 1 intro. Peep it on our YouTube channel
We found all this crazy shit in here. Including a rail that could be raised up and down. Marse back crooked this thing through a layer of rust.
First trick I saw going down was Rio throwing a fakie tre down the set. This is tied with my favorite photo of the weekend. Read through the rest of my blog posts to find out which one is the other.
