Ryan Sheckler - kickflip up the giant tranny step-up |
Not a pretty sight from the Girls' Contest - sweaty granny briefs riding up on every ollie |
A kickflip indy is not that easy on the eyes as far as good looking skateboard tricks go, but Ryan Sheckler got some of the biggest crowd applause from it |
Greg Lutzka only needed two tries to make this back lip down the big rail |
Lauren Perkins is one of my favorite girl skaters. She's got style and also doesn't dress like a boy skater that dresses like a girl. Plus, you never see sweaty granny undies creeping out the back when she's skating. This is a kickflip up the step-up |
I don't know who this is or what trick it is, but isn't that what happens to your pants if you don't separate whites and colors? |
Eric Koston never made this 360 flip noseblunt slide - take a poop |
Eric Koston is kickflipping up the step-up, but all you eleventeen-year-olds are just focused on Ryan Sheckler's BGP's |
This step-up was huge. If you're of average skateboard ability, you're thinking of how many tries it might take you to kickflip up it or something. Ronnie Creager switch 360 flipped it - whoa |
Elizabeth Nito snapped her wrist on a heelflip backside 50-50. I saw it happen from clear across the stadium. She was in so much pain it sounded like the screams were coming from right next to me. I hope she's all right |
Jereme Rogers is one hard working pro skateboarder. He's at every contest, makes sure to rep all his sponsors, and signs autographs in the middle of a session |
Jordan Hoffart was killing it. He just about rode away from this kickflip over the rail but slid out. That was huge |
Jereme Rogers did a switch backside 50-50 on the rail to the right before this switch crook on the rail on the left |
Chris Haslam looks a little awkward on this kickflip catch because he's about to do a late body varial out of it. Captain Creative always does some unique tricks every time you see him |
Danny Fuenzalida was there. This is a switch 360 flip over the bump to fence thing. That one looked like a basic, but fun, obstacle |
Not sure which girl this is, but she could frontside 50-50 the big hubba |
The cannonball launcher was a huge step-up with a tranny launch. That's Mike Peterson doing a one foot manual across the thing. Later in the day, they added that extra long part so people could mini-mega ramp it over the whole thing and down the bank on the other side |
Some friends of ours that we met at the Damn Am in Minneapolis have a shop called Black Squirrels up there. I thought it was just a joke and/or weird name until I got to Canada and there were black squirrels everywhere |
Kyle Berard was one of the fastest skaters on the course. This is a back lip on the small rail |
Ben Gore has been in Canada for the last two weeks on a Billabong trip with Kyle Berard and Mike Peterson. Here, he's frontside flipping the hip |
It was nice seeing Brian Anderson skate in person, except I was in the clouds watching from a mile away |
Antoine Asselin is doing a frontside noseblunt slide here. He gets the best hair of the weekend award, chick division included. |
Amy Caron is on Enjoi now. She ended up winning the Girls' Street Event. Was it a pro contest or am contest or both? I think it might be both which is why they called this contest "Open" |
