Spring Roll 2010 Presented by DVS

By Stalker Steve

We held our annual Spring Roll Presented by DVS this past weekend. The SPoTlight big bossmen were in LA hanging out at Hollenbeck Park, so that left the Contest to Porpe as far as running things went and Joe Pelham and me as far as shooting the Contest for the website. Lots of out-of-towners came out for the weekend, which is always nice. We appreciate you all driving a few hours to come down or up from wherever you live.

Here are my photos and Joe Pelham's footage. Thanks for coming everyone. See you at the next one.

Jimmy Lannon was one of the judges and he started the day by getting his brain moving by annihilating me on the pool table. Skater Profile: Jimmy Lannon

I don't like to call anyone "Who Dat?" but this little guy's name from South Florida escapes me. Feeble stall in the 8 & Under division. Skater Profile: Who Dat?

Whoops, another out-of-town Who Dat? kid. Sorry buddy. This is a pretty good nosebonk off the ledge. Skater Profile: Who Dat?

A pretty proper kickflip in the 8 & Under division.

I think this kid's been to a few Saturday and Sunday Lessons with Wizard Smoke. He had rolling down most of the banks ramps down pat.

One of the cooler tricks in 8 & Under was this 50-50 transfer.

This little guy went for it with the frontside 180 off the upper deck.

This kid was protecting his shins with the soccer shin guards. Kickflip.

My obligatory Filmer Joe photo.

This bomb drop was gnarly. This is right before he broke his toe.

Kids were really going for it, and some kids got broke off in the process.

These little guys, members of the Hunger clan, came up to me and gave me some bracelet that is in the shape of a seahorse when you take it off. I was stoked. Skater Profile: Connor Hunger

13 - 15 top three. The Mom in here is the broken toe'd barbarian's mom. He won a trip to Woodward for a week for going for it so hard.

The little guys went nuts in the Product Toss.

The white kid ripped off the product the black kid caught, so the black kid got some justice and chased him down.

Our friends at Bentley Salon in Tampa hooked up a $50 off certificate for us to give out. We gave it to the headband hustler here. Don't go into that salon shirtless wearing basketball shorts though.

These dads were a little bummed on the lack of bigger sized shirts in the Product Toss.

T-Ray Gibson is a ripper from down near Sebring, Florida, a super small town. He cruised through this snappy backside 5-0 frontside 180 out.

Sponsored top three, Piro Sierra, CJ Dixon, and Robbie Kirkland.

You're never too old to hop into the Product Toss for some free goods.

All the babes were out at the Contest. Hey girl...

This kid stepped up to Body's challenge to bong down a Red Bull. He tried...
