“Wanna Skate?” from Chris Duke on Vimeo.

A little street/park contest just went down in Anoka, MN this weekend. I think the dude on Quad skates got first. Check it out either way!

JUST GOT THESE FLICKS FROM OUR MAN JUSTIN WARREN, FROM A COMP WE SPONSORED IN COLORADO A LITTLE WHILE BACK. IT’S GOOD TO SEE PEOPLE ORGANIZING THESE TYPES OF EVENTS - SAID THE TURNOUT WAS AROUND 100. NICELY DONE. I DON’T KNOW WHO WON, OR WHO IS WHO IN THE PICS SO IF ANYONE HAS THAT INFO LEAVE A COMMENT. ANYWAYS HERE’S QUICK SNAPSHOT:

^^^ THIS IS ADAM BENDER - HE USED TO SKATE NAKED A BUNCH.

THIS IS BRIAN ARAGON, SUPER PRO DUDE, AND EVEN HE CAN’T ALWAYS HOLD HIS TRICKS. IT’S NICE TO SEE THE PRO’S TAKEN DOWN A COUPLE NOTCHES EVERY ONCE IN WHILE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAHAHHAHAHA. BUT YEAH, HES REALLY F-ING GOOD (WHAT KIND OF JEANS ARE THOSE LOL)

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!
