The 1st Grand Prix is over. Good contest
Victory Laps are nice to have.
Danny rode well all week
Winning never gets old
After 85 riders Vito stepped up and threw down an amazing run. Seriously, so heavy.
Shaun goes next.
Starts with a 15ft fs air and proceeds to back it up all the way down the pipe.
Pretty nice score. 9.9's all the way across
I took this photo off Fischi's facebook, thanks Fischi
Luke's been riding really well
So has Shaun
I wanted to take this photo last year but there were way to many people around. The sky was milky clouds which made for a perfect backgroud. DoubleClick to enlarge
The architecture in Barcelona is crazy. Everywhere you look there seem to be super cool buildings. I wish we did this kind of thing in the US with all the strip malls

Justin got crailslides pretty much everytime
Aimee was in town and hung out for the session
I had time for a quick bs ollie as well..
Those guys were already out and about so we had to jump on the little bikes to go out and meet em.
Once we got out there we all got our own bikes to cruise around on...Greg showed us an amazing time....This field was full of 1 year old sheep....chasing sheep on dirtbikes is damn fun.
The sheep tried to stay as far away as possible
After chasing sheep for 20 min we came to another field where these 3 awesome country girls were towing each other around on this sac thing with a 4 wheeler....We all had to try it...It was retardly fun....almost like tubing behind a wakeboard boat.
We then road out to the edge of Lake Wanaka to check out the sunset and take a group photo of the day...This is my favorite shot of the day. Bud must have been freezing
Thanks to Greg,Nancy, and Benji for an amazing day.

European cities always have cool train stations. Helsinki was no different

Side note: Summer in Finland is crazy. Its very common to see people walking around with plastic bags of beer. Id say 25% of the people on the street are carrying bags of beers. Here is a photo of what happens when there is too much beer in that bag. This is directly in front of the train station.
What you cant see here is that this quarterpipe is 3 ft pipe. Tyler with an Old man bs disaster
When Bobby skates everyone watches. FsFeeble
After the session we went to get some food. I had a chance to take a photo of one of my oldest friends. Paul Wilkins. I met him when i was 15 in front of a grocery store. He introduced me to the VA skate scene. Thanks Paul
Two Nine this year freakin ruled. The skateboarding came back to life and the drinking took a back seat. Tyler was claiming fakie 5-0 the night before. Didnt seem like to much of a problem for this old bastard.
Ashley came down from Brooklynn.
Anna, Lena, and Erin have been to at least 10 two nines
The next generation of two niners is popping up everywhere. This photo is my favorite of the day. Beth's son Gabriel couldnt have a better name.
During the game of skate Art's daughter Adeline needed a little love from her old as shit Dad.
Cupcakes are so "in" right now....DC's best Ping Ponger, Jimmy Peletier
Annabelle decided to conduct a water fight on herself
Angleo killed it in SKATE....switch heelflip
After the game of skate was over Art claimed the title. Its a big deal to win two nine game of skate considering 2 "official" pro skateboarders were in attendence and at least 3 others who could easily be pro at any moment. Arts damn old and totally deserved the win. The title remains in Virginia for another year.
Tony smashed him with a cupcake in celebration. Gluten free of course.
Next, the picnic table session got underway. Gnarly Neil..Bluntslide
Some 5-0s went down
And Tyler ended the session with a BS Noseblunt.
We thought the session was over, then the kids had their own session.
Handplants are allowed
Rory and Peter
Arts Pop's....
JP, king of the no comply
Another year in the books. Right click to download the photos. Thanks for coming everyone. Till next year......
Since Devin got so hurt skateboarding the night before everyone poured beers on the ground for him, like he actually died
People were lighting off fireworks everywhere
This is the only ice luge photo i have that i like. Im not even sure who took it....Rorys wife Jessica, pre luge
Ive never seen one of my friends die in front of me Thank God. However, I witnessed Devin die this night and then somehow come back to life. His head bounced off the ground a good 2ft. Like a basketball. I almost puked. I ran down to hill up to him and he was 100% knocked out with his eyes open. He stayed like this for 40secs....I was freaking out, seriously loosing it.
We called the DC ambulance and them came pretty quick.
Devin was pretty out of it during this whole process but once he flicked me off I knew he was gonna be just fine......later in the evening he ripped the IV out of his arm and blew a .17. He then proceded to leave the hosipital after pissing off all the nurses....Man, I love you DevChild. Lets not do this again.


After the 1st photo, everyone for some reason wanted to compare their snake tattoos to the actual snake...HA
Peter is the king of curb SKATE. Nosepicks like nothing
These dudes were filming for who knows what. I got in there a poached a couple shots.
SSBSkickflip, no he didnt land
Rory and DevChild. Two of my best friends. Dev grew up down the street from me. We used to ride to highschool Butts to Nutts on the back of my motorcycle....Gross.DevChild knocked himself out for 40secs and ended up in a ambulance later this night, then snuck out of the hosipital. Blog coming soon.
Such as aerial shots of planes..
Or a tour by air of the nations capital
I wish this photo showed how fast he was going. Or the giant snake that i almost stepped on while shooting it. Or me freaking out when Brad threw a stick at my leg and I thought it was the giant snake i saw.
We came up with some interesting camera mounts for this trip. If Jeremy leaned right it wouldnt have been very good for the camera.
Im pretty sure i shot this photo while driving, through the windshield. If you look closely you can see the beautiful town of Provo in the distance;)
