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 |

Justin Pelland - frontside flip |
Jacob Portillo's legs are skinnier than the rail he's about to lipslide |
Matt Town was killing it. Kickflip back tails on the hubba, backside tailslide shuv it out, and more. He won the 16 and Up Division. This is a smith grind |
Joe Grant is back smithing for Jamie Thomas |
Michael Manion has green Life Savers in his ears. This is a frontside noseblunt slide |
Levi posted up with a gigantic cup of sauce right after this lipslide |
Alex Pellegrino - frontside boardslide |
Shouldn't the kid breakdancing be the one wearing the ghetto gown? |

Who dat? Half cab flip |
Ryan Dillow - salad grind |
Ryan Dillow - frontside nosegrind |
Seen those new Matix ads talking about the man-g? They're everywhere |
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 |
Robbie Kirkland - shifty flip |
Dylan Perry - switch frontside 50-50 |
Baby Jamie - lipslide |
TJ Sparks - I think that's a heelflip. Can't remember |
Timmy Knuth - frontside feeble grind |
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 |
After the Contest, we all went to go see Ed Selego's band, Abandoned Vehicles |
One Eyed Mike made some Hand Banana stickers and they were immediately put to proper use |
The Hand Banana crew - Bryan, One Eyed Mike, and Slop Funk Drunk |
Sexy foot banana |
Jimmy's got some old Arto's |
The ladies got some fancy hand gear going |
That's half of Abandoned Vechicles |
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 |
Allison's got the best coozie out - Bag of Suck |
Pause for a foot fetish with the ladies |
Now we're at the Czar Bar where all the rock stars hang out. For example, Anthony Furlong |
Broken toe foot fetish on the all to familiar Czar Bar floor |
Boobies and Hand Bananas |
Buffalo Stance holds it down all around town |
A full blown dance on the bar top train started and Britney was right up in the mix. Nice fishnets |
If you wait until 3am, you can take advantage of all the drunk chicks. Good night |
