| The calm before the charity storm. |
| The SPoTlight crew this year around was light, but in the words of Schaefer, "less is more." |

| The line to get into the Johnny Romano Skate Jam is always around the warehouse. It's worth the wait because everyone that walks through the tent gets a free goodie bag courtesy of DC. |
| Mikey Taylor was in attendance taking pictures with all his fans. |
| Clements is going to love what I call this trick, but I think he is going to like who is doing it better. Raney Beres with a pop out wall smack board yank back into the bowl. He did this after taking one hell of a collision with who Schaefer called "Heavy set Sierra Fellers." The day started with the Bowl Jam, and this year Southside Skatepark added a new addition to their bowl - pool coping. |
| Ben Hatchell was dominating the Bowl Jam. |
| Mrs. Cannon looks happy with the shave job done on Andrew's face. I wasn't there to witness, but I guess Braun donated $2,500 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. There was some funky shaving going down in The Village. |
| I spot five different kids wearing the same Omit shirt waiting to get autographs from their favorite Omit riders. |
| Chris Cole got 2nd place in the Bank to Wall Best Trick Contest with a backside tail stall backside flip out, but I didn't get it. You will just have to live with this backside noseblunt. |
| Justin Brock could have won the Destroyer Award if he skated during the Zumiez Hubba Best Trick Contest because he was destroying everything. That's a backtail shuv it out with ease. |
| Evan Smith is amazing. I don't know too many people who can sit on a half-cab nosegrind to fakie this long. Hands down this won the Best Trick Contest on the Bank to Wall. |
| Who doesn't get stoked when you see Marius and Wes together. |
| I am convinced that Chris Cole can do whatever he wants on a skateboard at any given moment. Here he does a 180 nosegrind the hard way. |
| Felipe shut it down with this switch flip tailslide 270 out. |
| As the awards ceremony was about to take place Jason Rothmeyer tapped me in the shoulder and asked me if I saw the Chris Cole look-a-like. When I saw this I had to take a photo. |
| Ben Hatchell won the Bowl Contest, Raney Barnes (not pictured) got 2nd place, and Ishod Wair got 3rd place. |
| Kechaud Johnson stood out throughout the day ripping each obstacle. He deserved the Zumiez Destroyer Award. |
| Felipe won the Zumiez Best Trick Contest on the hubba. Kyle Fredric got 2nd place with a back tail backside flip out, and Chris Cole got 3rd place with his straight destruction of the ledge. |
