Grant Taylor had us all excited when he first stepped onto the vert ramp and skated it like a mini-ramp. This frontside nosegrind tailgrab was so 90's amazing.

Sean Malto, Brad Staba, and Chico Brenes. Does anyone know who Jack Tripper is? Brad Staba could be his stunt double.

Meanwhile, P-Stone is spinning hippy jumps. I keep forgetting everyone 30+ has jump ramp skills.

We took a break to go check out the best spot ever. This place is insane.
It's like a big downhill zig zagging sidewalk with banks and gaps along the way. There are skaters and their six packs hanging out everywhere.
Thanks for shooting the frontside tailslide photo, Colin. We didn't have anyone good or under 30 with us so this is all you get.

The jump ramp through the Ring of Fire was so damn low. I wish I would have done it. I would definitely throw a meron grab through that thing like this dude.
Tony Trujillo dove through it as I caught someone else's flash. I still have not used my flash once since getting this Nikon D3S.

Vincent Alvarez went stinker through it. I guess it's not THAT bad if you're not 30+.

Reda and Koston pick from the scraps of swine left on the grill at the end of the night.

Just a little bit of dancing with Jake Phelps. The beers are strong here.

Reda grabbed my camera for a second. I got it back with this photo of Brad Staba, aka Jack Tripper, on it.

Outside, there's a party the entire time. Brandon Biebel and crew were at the center of the Tuborg tornado.

Shane O'Neill was trying backside flip out of this back smith up, but he settled for regular backside 180 out. Damn.

Vincent Alvarez - half cab boardslide pop out. I didn't see anyone else with the hot foot like this.

Robbie Russo and P-Stone. Robbie and Rune Glifberg later had a horrible collision on the vert ramp. Robbie's going to be fine, but he had some teeth go through his lips, one laying on the flat bottom, and a fracture to his skull.

The crowd at the Vert Contest seemed a little thinner this year. Here are the results. More on that later when I feel more like writing.
Get well soon, Robbie. Things get going at 6pm today for the Street Finals.
