The day started out with a lesson on the factors that cause condensation. The course was sweaty like a cold beer mug on a hot summer day. Notice anything missing in this photo? There are no skateboards. We all had to sit around for a while waiting for the course to dry up. No skateboards allowed on the ice
|
It was full on mongo mania as usual in the kiddie divisions. The poop foot pushers always look like they're trying way harder just to be standing on their board
|
Dirt Weasel has a mini ramp in his backyard. Yo Dirt, when can I come and skate that thing?
|
Who dat? Pop shuv. Out of all the tykes with a dome piece on, this kid was my favorite. He wore that helmet until the very end of the day like it was a hat. He probably sleeps in it
|
Who dat? He probably still thinks Santa and the Tooth Fairy are real, but he's already got a nice looking smith grind
|
Alejandro Burnell doesn't even realize he's got a great Gonz ollie
|
Mongolian madness
|
Jumping off the block was a popular move in the kiddie divisions
|
This kid is waving goodbye right before he takes one for the team. Have fun
|
Baby Ganster here is sick. He came out swinging with a pop shuv 50-50 in his first run and won the 9 to 12 Division. This is a kickflip and his real name is Jamie Foy
|
A light snack in between runs for The Body
|
These are the 8 and Under winners. Alejandro has nuts in his cheeks like a squirell

Porpe was talking mad poop about landing this switch frontside flip in the Jam, but things didn't work out. Porpe - take a poop. Speaking of poop, have you seen our new bathrooms? When i walked in there I thought I was in another building. Check them out when you get a chance and drop some schlow in a clean crapper for a change

The judges all broke their clipboards smashing them on the railing when Mike Espinoza landed this switch 360 flip
|
Every time TJ Sparks did a trick on the rail or down the double set, he always did something on the bank to bank leading up to it first. This is a kickflip front board
|
Porpe is looking uber hipster
|
That's the 13 to 15 winners taking home some gear. If your company sent products for the prizes and product toss, thanks for hooking it up
|
16 and Up winners
|
I think you need an assistant to put your pants on when they're this tight
|
The jam session in the Sponsored Division was better than the last 10 demos we've had
|
Every kid in this photo cares about that deck being thrown out except the one kid there with the Hazzard County shirt on. He don't give a fuh
|
Did you guys see the black dude with the white guy's head? I think he came up in the deck toss
|
This is Drunk Aaron's new 100 square foot studio apartment

Flying around a pit in an office chair is a lot more fun than sitting behind a desk in one like I'm doing right now wasting my entire Sunday

Pause for a foot fetish with the ladies

A full blown dance on the bar top train started and Britney was right up in the mix. Nice fishnets
