Huge congrats goes out to Tristan Rennie for killing the Vans Pool Party contest this past Saturday and taking home first place! Thrasher posted up a few of his runs that sealed the deal.
We will have a few photos of the contest posted up soon.
Heavy rippage from Chris Gregson, Little Chris, Cody Lockwood, Mason Merlino, and more.
Over 50 and still rips harder than most… plus an all around great dude. El Gato rules!
There’s something to be said about digging a hole by hand in your backyard, then having your friends come over to fill it up with concrete.
Sleep. The great earth is still. Leaves wither and brown. They fall away and touch the earth. Decay. The great cycle of life. New things will come from them after the earth sleeps. A few friends stop by from time to time throughout the year. They are from other places. Snow birds. Colorado. Pennsylvania. All over…
They try and sit out the cold spell. Frost glistens in the morning. Old bones crack and ache.The snow birds flutter and move to warmer regions. They long for warmth. We provide it. In spirit. They fly. They sing. They collect in groups and drink from cement ponds… nourishment for the soul. The snow birds are content. Thanks to Brandon Wong for the images. Skate- Ozzie

Jack of all trades, master of none. Ray Barbee rules.
I got the line on the weird Anthony amoeba with a cool deck and diving block. Jake and Carlos cleaned it up and got it ready to rip. It only lasted a few sessions, but the memories last forever… especially if you have a few photos.
After years in the making, the Vans Off The Wall Skatepark opened this past Saturday and did not disappoint. Little girls, old men, street shredders and vert dogs all came out to get a sample of the 40,000 sq ft, California Skateparks built, wonderland located in Surf City USA. There has been a ton of coverage already, so I’m not going to go into design details, but here are a few photos from the day.
Check out the California Skateparks website for more info.
Huge thanks to Steve Van Doren and the Vans Crew, Jacks, CA Skateparks and everyone else involved in bringing another great park to the area. The Vans Off The Wall Skatepark is located at 7471 Center Avenue, Huntington Beach, CA, next to Old World. Hours are 10-7 right now with rumors of lights going in soon. After your sesh, head over to Grinderz in Old World for some burgers and good beers on tap.
