Blade Comdey Jam contest 2008. Photos and story by Juicy H.
Like the title states, the year is 2008, and the contest is in Northern California. Blade Comedy Jam’s are usually filled with nothing but the opposite, which is rollerblading and that should be never be taken as a joke. I mean some of the tricks are funny, but this is serious business but “Tommy Boy” AKA “Tommy Boy” seems to think that it is some sort of monkey business. Let me start out by giving you a little history behind the “el bladeo comedyo jamo.” Starting about 2 years ago Mr.Boy started throwing street contests in San Fransisco and various surrounding towns that had little in common with organization, which in rollerblading… isn’t all that bad. At the very least all the homeys got together and skated major numbers deep at some high profile street spots. As the day went on the contest would usually dwindle at about spot #3. A Product toss would usually ensue, which would inevitably cause a frenzy amongst the kids and like a ninja using his smoke screen (You know when they throw the smoke bomb on the ground and it goes “POOooooFFFF!”) Tommy Boy could barely be seen in the background ducking into is H2 stretch limo (one time it was a helicopter) and scooting away with yet another contest under his belt…. Well this time it was different, very different indeed. Instead of being an illegal unorganized street contest, it was an illegal unorganized skate park contest… and this was bold…so bold that the inevitable was INEVITABLE!!!!!!! READ ON FOR MORE! (more…)
YO YO YO, CHECK THIS ‘S’ OUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN . Remember when Jules and BS stopped by the warehouse and skated and did all that cool stuff. They was filming for their sticker counting contest. Take a look at this edit (quicktime, click the pictutre) and see how many Valo stickers you can count in the edit. Oh but turn the edit off after B.Smith throws it down in the park (he makes skating look fun) because it gets really bad after that…
Once you’ve counted and listed where all the stickers are hop on over to the Themgoods msg board and post up your count (I got 7) and if you’re right you can win a free pair of Valos. ThemGoods, Valo, Jon Julio and Brandon Smith are throwing it down and really doing some good stuff for the industry, take note and support their brands
Connected Crids has come correct with the HD edit compressed in a non-HD format. We got it on Ye old Youtube for the swine, and a direct .mov download to enjoy in you Maybach. All of this comes courtesy of www.connectedskating.com (aka Ivan Narez!)
Here is the Youtuber
Here is the Posh High qual. (Gotta love those HVX slow motion shots!) Right click this and save as!
Ok, leave it to me to take the pictures and document an event and this is what you get. Nothing, well might as well be nothing anyways. To say the least, trip started out good and ended bad. My pictures document the entire trip to the hotel on Thursday. Enjoy!
When you fly southwest you need lots of drinks. At least it helps make the flight a little more interesting. Here is Ivan halfway to Chicago a couple deep. Plus drinking on a plane is cooler because I think you get more loaded because of the altitude, but I could be wrong.
We got offered these really sweet Southwest blankets by just filling out a survey in San Jose… little did I know that it was a credit card application for a Southwest credit card which I already have! I put down some fake info so I can’t possibly be held responsible if I get approved and rack up 20gz on it. It appears that all my effort was in vain as Ivan ended up stealing my blanket in the end.
Why are they looking at this thing like we are lost? Pointless I say! We have tickets and they have the flight time on them, no need to stare at 10 tv monitors and try and find your flight info.
Here Sneak is spotted snacking one of many urinal cakes.
Hey girl!
Pro rental car driver.
Brandon Smith is mad here, he says “Only I can take photo’s.” As Colin Kelso just sits there.
Look at this guy, thinks he’s good at pool or something.
See, Brandon now taking the photo’s. But now it’s Ivan who’s mad! (Brandon shoots with the mini Cam for ALL of his photo’s!)
Got the PT stuck, had to call for a tow. If you saw this silver PT cruiser in action anytime during the weekend it should come as no suprise that I got it stuck in the mud no more than 10 feet from our hotel…
But before we could get it out, we had to get Jon Julio’s Town and Country stuck with us.
Since the tow driver was unable to get under the cars, I had to do some of the dirty work.
All of the dirty work… Covered in Mud, but were all hooked up now!
After all of that was said and done we went rallying some more the next day, and decided to take a picture after the car wash.
Here is some of the crew at the cool bar at the days inn. It’s too bad we got here about 30 minutes before it closed every night… and to our disbelief Ohio sells diluted alcohol and doesn’t sell past 10 or something. Mike got loaded off a single drink of diluted early times so his new name is 40 proof. Look at how loaded he is in this picture.
Here is the one and only trade show picture. HVX edit coming soon? Who knows, sold the camera for $5.00
That about wraps it up for the official BCSD ag-rs-ve-ml coverage, I told you it was the worst! Oh BTW, I lost my keys in Ohio so if you find them send them back to me, I still can’t get into my house and my car is stuck in long term parking!
The time has come for ONE to produce a new t-shirt, but instead of printing more of our popular logo shirts, we thought we’d make things a bit more interesting by inviting all of you to participate in our first-ever t-shirt design battle. Here are the details—
The Premise: Each artist submits one design for a new ONE t-shirt. The designs do not have to create a new logo, or necessarily incorporate our existing logo.
The Judging: Once received, we’ll post all the submissions on the ONE site where the public will be able to vote for their favorite.
The Prize: ONE will pay $250 to the winning designer, as well as pay a royalty on all shirts sold. It is highly likely that other shirts from this contest will end up being produced as well… details on that are being worked out.
The Deadline: All contest submissions are due by March 1.
So that’s what we’re thinking about. We’d like to have as many of you participate as possible, and would like to begin promoting this as soon as possible. Please email me with any questions you may have, and let us know who is in.
Thanks for your time… and we look forward to checking out your work!
PS—If you see a name missing from this list, please send me that person’s name and email so I can get them all the details. Justin Eisinger Editorial Director

Like many things, this little tid bit started with “I can do this” which was followed by a “I bet (x) amount that you can’t” Which always ensues some great competition. So after many of arguments we here at Amall hosted our first annual McDonald’s food eating contest. The confidence runs pretty high round these parts so everyone was sure they could down the goods in an hour. So the deal was pretty much this…You get (X) amount of any 1 McDonald’s brand item down in (Y) amount of time. If the challenge is completed in time the meal is paid for by Justin. If you can’t hack it, you’re going home sick, and your paying for it. To say the least many people were sent home packing with an empty stomach and food bills better suited for something more like Bennihanna’s.
Keep in mind that it’s not really amount of food that kills you on these challenges, it’s the sheer rich high quality taste and family oriented consistency of it all. If you are feeling up to it, try one out for yourself.
Here goes nothing…
Shawn absolutely loves McChicken’s. As the first competitor he show boated and seemed like he’d have no problem downing 10 of these tasty snacks.
He gobbled these gobblers good but didn’t seem to be taking the competition too seriously. As the time narrowed down he fell short and ended up finishing in 1 hour and 4 minutes… As you can see he was obviously upset. He thinks the challenge was met, but since this was on my dollar and the deal was 1 hour, and 1 hour and 4 minutes is technically 4 minutes too many, you lose. On a sadder note Shawn unfortunately no longer favors the McChicken sandwich.
Mr. Kyle originally thought he could actually polish a gallon of ice cream, so 10 measly hot fudge sundaes would be no sweat…DUDE, that’s still a lot of ice cream. This one I had no problem putting my money against.
Kyle worked diligently and was for the most part enjoying the first half of these sweet & sickening thick deserts. He then was attacked by what seemed to be a “brain freeze” and was forced to start melting them down in the microwave turning them into a warm, thick, creamy solution and sucking them down with a straw. To say the least we saw this one coming.
Kyle you only could get 5 down. You didn’t throw up and you stopped about 30 minutes into the challenge. Way to quit…
Todd was juiced. I’ve tried his challenge just for fun before, just because I thought I could do it. It’s really not all the much food but the fake-ness of them C-burgers gets to you after about #5.
Todd was burnin’ through them. It was getting rough, but he kept it positive and kept slamin’ those C-burgers down like he was on death row and it was his last meal.
When it was all said and done Mr. Todd finished in 42 minutes and I’m sure he felt quite accomplished. Congrats. on getting all them C-burgers down. Meal is on me, you just have to suffer for the rest of the day.
Okay, Tim is a US Marine with the diet of a mouse, I thought these “Devil Dogs” could handle just about any challenge. McDonald’s was found on the same ideology as the Marines, “always ready”…sitting there, hot, warm and ready. So we set him up with 6 of these beasts. I’ll admit these things are fairly hard to handle, I had one once and to say the least never wanted one again. The hot runny mayonnaise was enough to make my stomach do back-flips. He had 6 of these staring him down and I think it upset his tummy right off the bat…
…Because after only 2 there was big trouble in little Timbo town…
Timbo, next time you can take the Happy Meal challenge, because you came up pin.
Don’t be fooled. Even though it may be very tempting, McDonald’s bags should not double as barf bags as they can’t even hold a meals worth of puke. This one eventually made it outside where the local seagulls thoroughly enjoyed the entire bag of regurgitated Premium Classic Crispy Chicken’s. It probably reminded them of the good ol’ days when they didn’t have to fight each other for left over Cheeto’s and momma bird came back to the warm little nest and barfed fresh worms into their mouths.
Tim leaves several Pc3’s on the table and another challenger immediately steps up to the plate. Was it because he simply wanted food like some inner city hobo? Or is Shawn just always down for a challenge? Who cares! Let’s get back to the challenge at stake! The deal for the bonus round is that Shawn will have to pay for Timbo’s meal if he is unable to finish 3 of them in 10 minutes. If he can do it I will cover for Tim. Seems easy, but them things is so greasy!
Slam those Premium Classic Crispy Chickens! I swear, You’d think this guy never had a meal in his life the way he eats.
No Problememo! Bonus round completed with time to spare. I have a feeling this isn’t the last we will be seeing of Mr. Storm…
Dre almost got away with murder on this one. First we agreed to 30. We then re-thought the situation and it turned into 50 McNuggets or 5 Big Mac’s. Obviously He took the McNuggets and on the day of the challenge we were able to swindle him into getting 60. “Dude, that’s only a nugget a minute!”
Dre was doing good, using various sauces including some Tapito we had on hand. The sheer number of McNuggets and the overwhelming deep fried bite sized chicken scrambles obviously started taking their toll after about 30-40.
Dre really dropped the ball on this one. In the last 10 minutes he was offered $450 dollars to finish the final 6 nuggets but apparently no money in the world was worth the pain. So with that we say; Thanks for trying, maybe you’ll do better on the Taco Bell challenge. On another note Dre has now become somewhat addicted to the McNuggets and now finds himself smoking 2 packs on a good day, and 3-4 on a bad one. He says he has no intentions of quitting anytime soon as “nothing calms his nerves better”. You’re sick Dre, you’re f***ing SICK!
Derek was very leery about taking the challenge but had no choice when nicely asked to participate at gun point .
Sir, 4 does not equal 6!
Derek was doing so well, but then decided to quit about 30 minutes into the deal. Here he seems to be very happy with the 4 count. Unfortunately the challenge was for 6 and not 4. YOU LEAVE WITH 6 BURGERS IN YOUR STOMACH OR (x) AMOUNT OF BURGERS ON THE FLOOR, WAS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?
The Fry’s were difficult. I’m not going to lie. Fry’s with no condiments…and 10 boxes of them was a feat I never thought I’d be able to do…
But man did I try… My mouth was oil slicked over with deep fry grease and creamed potato. Dipping them into water was the only chance I had.
…and well, I McLost it. I got a whole 7 boxes down and I’m pretty sure 5 or 6 came up. It was probably one of the most difficult vomits of my life. I’d have to say it had to be on par with barfing up maybe a whole potato, I mean a WHOLE potato, some crazy hybrid giant potato picked straight from the pumpkin patch with the skin and everything. Funny thing I wasn’t even hungry afterwards… In the end I walked away with a clear plastic bag full of puke that weighed in at about 1 1/2 lbs.
See the video here.
Guess who’s back? That’s right it’s none other than Shawn Storm back to claim his title. As with the previous events the confidence level rides high once again. This time he’s back for a challenge to solely to beat out Dre. Not only does he think he can do the 60, he steps it up to 70 of these tasty little critters in 1 hour! That’s 11 nuggets every 10 minutes,or a Nugget every 54 seconds!!
Shawn takes cues from the now famous hot dog consumers Joey Chestnut and Takeru Kobyashi. Like Michael Jordan, he dunks. Dunks them in water and crams multiples in his mouf.
Shawn’s battle was like a roller coaster ride. He had his ups where he was mashing down fried chunks by the handful and his downs, where he staggered and hovered over the garbage can ready to lose it… But it was going to take more than a few nuggets to get him down. He was determined to come out on top from his upsetting defeat earlier in the week.
Shawn POWERS through a grip of nuggets in a short amount of time. He gets to Dre’s 60 count in under 38 minutes. In this picture he’s only got 10 to go. Unfortunately it will be the toughest 10 McNuggets he’s ever had in his whole life.
Shawn stays focused and tries to cram those last few bites in… NOM! NOM! NOM! NOM! NOM!
Shawn manages to devour the McNugget challenge and dodges a hefty bill. I can only assume that he was produced to consume fast food. This kid weighs under 100lbs. and can eat more than anyone. I’ll get you next time gadget!
NOW FOR THE FINAL CHALLENGE. (more of a novelty.)
Ok first off, look at the sheer numbers on this one. Anyone who thinks they can do this is insane. Just look at ALL that food… So I gladly offered to pay for this challenge if it wasn’t met + some $, because I knew I wouldn’t have to.
Dude, you’re gonna make it Just keep going!
NOT!
It’s funny how a bunch of little McNuggets and McChickens ultimately turn out to form a giant 2 dimensional reincarnation of the original nugget. MMMMMMMM-MMMMMMMMMMM, now who wants some freakin’ McDonald’s?
Right now I feel just as sick after writing this and editing the pictures as I did right before my challenge ended me…On that note I will put a lid on this edition of the Amall’s Mcdonald’s 2008 food challenge. I hope you have thoroughly enjoyed this experience as much as we have. So I will leave you with one last revolving mystery that we may never be able to solve…
Razors is hosting an online grind box comp. Everyone is invited to compete.

To start off this picture post I’ll do a little explainin’ first. SDSF Open was to be held the weekend of Oct 6th-7th in Sunny Escondido California. Razors was also having a premire for their new video “ICONS” by Adam Johnson on the 5th. So I decided to take off Friday, most of Thursday to enjoy the weekend. Arrangements were made to caravan and stay with Mr. Jon Julio, Brandon Smith, Jose Fuentes, Adam Roberts, and Victor Arias. We packed our skates (Ivan Narez, Jimmy Hake(who was around for the week) & myself Justin Hertel) and we woke up Thursday morning and began making our way down south. Here are a couple pics. from the drive there and back and a couple odds and ends along with contest photos.
A couple hundred miles into a few hundred something mile drive.
Infamous shades.
Infamous desert. Definitely not a place you want to break down.
Infamous shades match the infamous “busted” tee shirt.
Nothing but semi trucks and desert for days. We even saw Optumus Prime.
Me and Ivan. Ivan stayed on his phone for most of the trip. Jimmy Hake is passed the hell out in the back.
Making our way into L.A. where pretty much everything is tagged up.
Definitely in L.A. now…
Downtown L.A… Reminds me of Terminator
Trains and tagging go together like peanut butter and jelly.
Big time gap here. This was Friday night. After skating the Esco park nearly all day.
This was after watching the Razors video for the 2nd time.Ivan died of lung cancer shortly there after (as seen in this photo)
“Wanna buy a Black Berry?” (Victor Arias)
Brandon Smith is dead serious about his burrito.
“Pancakes in my mother F***ing room!” (Murda)
We put a ton of tinfoil in the microwave.
Someone get this guy off of Myspace. (Victor Arias)
