All right.. So I finally tore my lazy ass away from the Xbox long enough to do something half way productive.
Chuck got me and the lady some tickets to this years Vans Pro-tec Pool Party. Last year me and Rod went to this thing...or maybe it was the year before last?... either way I remember it was pretty fun. So I figure I'd check it out again.
This year they were skating on a brand new concreted surface Combi bowl. I heard they re-did the suface on this thing but I didn't think it would look this good. I haven't skated it yet but I heard its amazing. I just hope it doesn't get as slippery as the plaster surface did. I know for sure the surface isn't as bumpy as before.
Anyway, I borrowed my lady's little point and shoot camera which is why I couldn't zoom in that far but they pics still came out all right.
Here's a pic of Bruno Passos. He tore his knee open on a screw at Bob's ramp 4 weeks ago and didn't skate until the contest. He was still blastin some good backsides though.
Cab was there in a matching yellow attire pulling frontside rock and rolls stylish as ever
Chris Miller, as you would expect, was there killing it. I didn't stick around for the results, but I'm pretty sure he won again. He was blasting this frontside off the hip and about a quarter of the way around the round bowl.
Christain was there in some bright green shorts. Nice Backside airs.
This Backside ollie was pretty stylish. And so was the guys haircut that got in my way!
DP was there absolutely killing it. I can't even explain some of the shit he was getting away with. Dyson would have been hyped! This is some sort of crazy invert to deck check to revert in! Insane
Grosso was sporting the beer gut the whole time. But that didn't keep him weighed down..he was still pulling backsides like this. Oh, and he murdered the field in the longest slide & roll contest with a 28 block long slide & roll that got the whole place on their feet!
Lester won the overall point standing for the world cup of skateboarding. Congrats Lester!
Ok.. Lets play wheres Lincoln? Let me know when you find him.
Ngoho was smooth as ever.
Red.. Red is a mad man. He was pushing along the decks about 40 mph and powersliding into photographers. I guess he hates a crowd as much as I do. But when he did make it into the bowl, he pulled aggressive laybacks like this.
Salba never stops. I think his runs were about 2 mins a piece. He's got way too much stamina.
Shroeder pulled this frontside 50-50 probably 20 blocks. Fast as hell! I think he took a slam during his heat and I never saw him again.
Another one of Lincoln blasting a 10 foot air in a 9 foot bowl!
