I missed the sequence while talking to Duncan, but this 5-0 drop to disaster David Loy did was pretty sick.
Skater Profile: David Loy The surf sponsors gave out endless amounts of passes while the skateboarders were not given but a handfull. The result was random surf dudes such as this man posted up on the deck with flip flops on. Little kids can skate at nine in the morning. It was gloomy and chilly. You can see morning in their faces. It's pretty cool to have the surfing going on right behind you. The waves weren't as big as last year, but the crowd was definitely a lot bigger. Barak and Brian checked people in all day. I listened as the most random people came up looking for credentials. By the way, if you have to show a copy of the magazine you work for to justify your right of entry, you should not be on the deck of a ramp. Okay, there's a lot going on here, so if you don't immediately see the idiot rollerblading off that jump ramp, it's understandable. This little rasta kid was killing it, but apparently didn't make the Finals. What's your name little dude? Zach Miller and I got off to the wrong foot. He was a little frustrated with the fact that I didn't know who he was and that he was skating in the Contest. Schaefer and his infinite awkwardness additions made it funny though and all was good.
Skater Profile: Zach Miller I'm out of remarks to make about airs already, but here's Jaws ollieng the hip again and again and again.
Skater Profile: Aaron Homoki aka Jaws After last year I guess Bartie came back for more loot. Front smith in the cradle.
Skater Profile: Chad Bartie Nolan Johnson was doing these laybacks in the corner with Rick Howard looking on. I was watching this guy film Rick Howard just sitting there from like three feet away and it was really uncomfortable for me. I can only imagine how Rick feels in those situations. Man, I'm so bad with airs, I couldn't even tell you what this is. Regardless, Nilton makes it look good. Is there a reference card or something that exists to decipher airs for the latter generation? Crowd favorite Curren Caples floats around like a big man. Every year I see this kid, I expect him to be twice the size from last year, but he's still the same size. He's going to hit a spurt and grow a foot in one year. I'm calling it.
Skater Profile: Curren Caples Brandon Perelson skates fast as s%it too, Jesus. Here, he plants his way out of one ramp and into another. On a side note, we ran into him at Washington Street yesterday and he was ripping.
Skater Profile: Brandon Perelson I don't really know what's going on here. Somehow Koston was getting his board to stick to the deck. Back smiths are still one of my favorite transition tricks. This is probably obvious by now. T-Mo's got a good one.
