School's Out Jam 2014 Recap

Aaron Austin

I hope you made it out to the park on Saturday for the School's Out Jam, presented by Krew. If you didn't, then you unfortunately didn't come up on any of the free product Krew was giving out, but at least you can check out the photos I shot and watch the edit that Frank put together.

Darius Norton

Darius Norton has moved out of the little guy 8 and Under division into the very competitive 9-12 division. Darius made an interesting wardrobe selection, but it didn't affect his kickflips on the Kahuna.

James Cobb

Danny Boyd has become a local here at the park, and the older guys have encouraged him along. James Cobb was stoked that Danny placed 2nd in the second contest Danny has ever skated in.

Jomar Ortiz Garcia, from Ponce, Puerto Rico, makes it to a lot of our events here at SPoT. Jomar also skates really well. Here's Jomar on a blasted kickflip over the pyramid, straight into second place in the 9-12 division.

I took a walk through the courtyard while sponsored practice got underway and happened to spot what I thought was a weird looking little dog. Instead, I met Porky, the teacup pig. I don't dig on swine - to eat, that is, but Porky was pretty cool.

Alejandro Burnell

Back on the course, the sponsored division was heating up. Alejandro Burnell never ceases to amaze me with the new air variations he learns every week. He smacked disaster on his way back into the tranny on this backside air.

Austin McCahan

Austin McCahan had these massive hardflips over the pyramid every try. Even though he made this in his run, Austin didn't make the sponsored finals. He still ripped, though. Tyson Peterson has the BGP's on this one.

Niko Howard

Niko Howard took this smithgrind across and down the rail into the finals, where he placed 3rd. He's a madman, bouncing off the walls all over the park during his jams.

Mat Call

Mat Call is definitely one of my favorite people to watch on a skateboard. I'm blown away at what he does on his board. This one really surprised me. Frontside 360 handplant from the China bank up onto the deck. He was almost completely inverted!

Jordan Bostick

When the contest wrapped up, the Jitt Squad went back to work hustlin' each other out front, throwing dice and making money. How do I get a loan little buddies?
