On Friday night, we had the classic Bowl Jam. CJ Dixon scooped up the no comply disasters.

The Bowl Jam turned into a series of small contests, such as the highest air over the hip. It was like a low stakes game of dice with one and two dollar prizes.

Of course their had to be a meron grab contest over the hip. Timmy Knuth has a good one.

Dane Vaughn was in on everything all weekend from the street gap to the Finals to the Bowl Jam and even the meron grab contest.

SPoT local Tyler Hunger is looking good while growing up and now starting to skate Damn Am's. This is a stalefish to fakie. 20 years ago, this was my move. Maybe I should resurrect it.

I got my camera back from Joe Pelham with this photo on it. There's not much going on for nightlife where we're staying, but if you got a room full of homies, you have a good time regardless.

I hope this kid Jona stuck on the grill skates for free. Thanks for the hot dog.

Justin Drysen is only 15 but he's already got that grown man style and light foot on the board. That's a casual frontside feeble grind.

While skating, Chase Webb always has this look on his face like you told him he won the lottery. That's a frontside nosegrind across.

Kyle Berard was ripping in between judging duty. That's a backside tailslide from the quarter to coping extension.

Out in the bowl, Marshall LaFrance was showing us what he's got for the coping dance contest. Smith stall, kickflip to front rock? Where's the disco ball for these serious dance moves.

After the Bowl Jam, Timmy Knuth and Paul Hart were the last two trying their tricks so Schaefer had them battle it out in an arm wrasslin' match.
