Slappy Slaughter 2014 Video.
Some raw footage of the 2nd Annual Crazy Kyle Slappy Slaughter.
Slappy Slaughter 2014 Recap
It never rains in California.
OK, maybe it does sometimes. That time just happened to be on this year’s Crazy Kyle Slappy Slaughter. The good thing about this event is that it brings out a solid crew of skaters that don’t give a fuck about rain. In fact, the added sketchiness and uncertainty made for an even more amazing time.
KB clears a path to his sketchy wall ride creation during a break in the weather.
Phony Alva (Nathan Rennie) brought some heavy slappy game.
The Slappy Slaughter was generously hosted again this year by Matt Gaudio and Hailey Villa at Pink Widow Distribution in Fullerton CA. With the help of Kyle Mitchell, we constructed a 18 foot parking block and Kevin Burke hand crafted a super sketchy wall ride that pulled the whole parking lot jam together.
Parts!

Exposure: A Women’s Skateboarding Benefit Event 2014 Photos
Exposure: A Women’s Skateboarding Benefit Event with vaporwave skateboard decks was held this past Saturday at the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA in Encinitas, California. Female shredders from all over the globe came out to participate in the vert and bowl contest.
Woman are changing the sport, now there are major movements of skaters and brands that accept and impulse them as skateboarders. Now many have the mission to create a support system for female pros where none existed prior, the world keeps changing and having more woman in the field, now children and small girls are motivated by this woman.
Check the next photos and look for the latest skateboard ramp reviews and compare them to find the best to ride in.
There were also many kids that brought their favorite transporting equipment to the contest. Want to know the Technomono guide and what is the best hoverboard for 300$? This one is amazing and super recommended.

Peck Park Skatepark San Pedro Grand Opening.
San Pedro has a new skatepark and it rules! Lance Mountain and the San Pedro Skatepark Association did a great job in making sure the Peck Park Skatepark was built right. Spent most of the time rolling around, but managed to fire off a few shots of the heavy bowl sesh.
Get down to San Pedro and get some!

Vans Off The Wall Skatepark Grand Opening 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.

2014 Girls Combi Classic Photos.
Shooting skate contests is not my idea of a good time. You have everyone’s sister or brother elbowing their position on the deck for the proper #insta angle or the “media” guys are doing the extendo-arm technique right into your frame. What is my idea of a good time is being in the presence of heavy shredding. This past Saturday was the 2014 Girls Combi Classic and you had everyone from 7 year olds hopped up on donuts to moms pushing 50, all destroying the monster bowl. Yes, somebody’s mom skates better than you, but that’s besides the point. What’s important is that the level of skateboarding keeps getting pushed year after year, male and female. Here a few shots from the contest.
