Mind your P’s and Q’s
We made the trek up to San Jose this past weekend for the 14th Annual Tim Brauch Memorial Contest at Lake Cunningham. Stoked to see everyone up there and witness some insane shredding going down. Was denied a photo pass, so had to work with what I could.
Girls started off the day, but unfortunately I missed most of the heats. From what I saw, they were killing it! Lizzie Armanto, Julz and Allysha Bergado were at the top, and rightfully so.
A whole slew of ams were there and they were hungry. The level of skating in these Am heats was pretty impressive. Tiny kids spinning 5s, gnarly collisions and straight out ripping. Tristan Rennie, Griffin Chase and Bobo Kuamoo ended up in the top spots.

Masters… there is a reason they have that title and it’s pretty apparent when they start rolling.
Jeff Hedges
Eddie Elguera
Mark Partain. So stoked to get to see him skating. Pure style.

Pros ended up with 2 final heats with 2 Badlanders on top. Great to see Michael Brookman stay on and take it to first place.

Another great contest in the books. There was so much going, it’s hard to be everywhere at once. Thanks to everyone that makes it happen year after year.

A hybrid of 60s psychedelic rock and 70s metal licks too perfect to be recorded in my lifetime, but they say it is so. Hailing in from San Fransisco pumping the fuzz groove out of a good ol’ SG and the all powerful raspy scream….. this stuff goes hand in hand with the Pentagram and Sir Lord Baltimore I can’t stop listening to. Who Can You Trust is glad to get you your fix for the psychedelic revival.
