An Afternoon in Charlotte, NC

I'm here in Charlotte, NC with Schaefer and Clements where SPoTlight Productions is running Red Bull's Manny Mania Contest today. Last night, we got into a bit around town...
One of these days, we're going for it and getting the highest end ride you can get from the rental car place.
How about this? A bitchin' Camaro that probably comes with packs of smokes to roll up in your sleeves.

Have you seen how all newer cars now have this anti-kidnapping lock 'em in the trunk pull tag? Make sure to tie them up tight if you're throwing someone in the trunk so they can't pull this.
That spot is this super steep, but easily skateable tight tranny. Schaefer's straight to it with the vert moves. He gave up on a back tail that should be a Take a Poop, but I have no time for Photoshopping toilets right now.

Clements sits up high on a frontside pivot. Harsh sunlight is creating heavy shadows. I don't do that light stands and flashes crap, though.

Doubles vert moves from two old vert dudes, Mike Sinclair and Brian Schaefer.

Bob Reynolds got a better back tail with a good hop out, but the only one I got was this drop off a cliff. Still looks good.

Ryan Clements had himself convinced he wasn't going to be able to do this on this steep sketchy bank. Put in a little work and it comes to you, even at our old skate age.

After this hurricane on the bank, Mike Sinclair is going to have a hurricane of food go down his throat at dinner.

The Contest today is right in front of the Black Sheep shop. It's cool they can carry girls stuff. It has never really worked out for us.
Apparently Phat Burrito is hooking it up today with lunch. They seem to have a bit of a gangster flavor in this town. Kind of like the mid-south version of Canada in the US.
Chase and I kept it thin with the vodka sodas and a pass on dessert, unlike the dudes in the weight loss challenge. Check out Chase's explanation of jerkin and the issues they have with it in NC.
Looks like the weight loss challenge is going great with Mike Sinclair and Bob Reynolds. Is Clements in on this, too?

SPoT OG Big Al is here! Wish I could have hung out more last night, but it was another one of those work until 1am nights.

Connor Champion showed up. I thought his choice of footwear was more interesting than a regular photo. They're making me sleepy.
