The 2010 Kindgrind Classic was just held over the hot weekend at the Fairfield CA skatepark and everyone had a great time with the sun beating down from above. There was non stop rollerblading with both the contest going down and everyone sessioning every inch of the park the entire day.

Contest Results:
1. Brandon Smith - $1,000.00
2. Sean Keane - $420.00
3. Andy Johnson & Victor Arias - $105 a piece (I think..)

Best Trick:
Victor Arias - $100

A big thanks goes out to the folks of Bernal Heights Collective for putting on the event. They provided the awesome prize money, the wood additions to the park, water, bbq, insurance for the event and even their own security. The security did an incredible job of keeping the skateboarders, scooterers and bikers out of the park (it was reserved for only rollerbladers) which made it a lot more fun for everyone who was there to rollerblade and watch rollerblading.

Matt Murphey put this KGC 2010 edit together right quick!:

Shawn filmed, edited, skated and fist pumped his way through this whole edit. Don’t ask about the chain though…

Yinz check out this edit Nolte & Nico put together the other weekend.

As one of the top 5 finalists for the Olympus PEN challenge, KD was given 5K cash, their new E-PL1 camera and a opportunity to tell his story through the camera…and heck, I think it turned out pretty damn good even considering his camera got ganked with all the cool footy midway through the NY trip. Salutations Mr. Dowling and good luck in ye finals.

Be sure to LIKE this video, and check it out in HD. It’s worth it. Oh yeah, that Olympus PEN camera seems like a halfway decent cam too.

Austin Rides for AMALL. Yinz already knew that though. So here’s and edit with him skating some new Eulogy wheels. HMMM Wonder if this means new wheels are right around the corner.

We handed Kirk a pair of Don Bambrick’s new pro skates to test out and got this video in return. Check it out.

Despite being sick, Kirk was able to test out the new Razor Genesys 7.2 skates. I wish I could skate this clean. sick or not!

This part reminds me why Brandon is one of my favorite skaters. Effortless park skating is where it’s at for me right now, so I got this on repeat for the moment.

According to the description it states he is skating the new USD Imperials which is a carbon with a cuff. Looks like he is skating normal carbons? Maybe it’s a plastic skate?

As you know Remz had a little tour they put together for the release of Chris Haffey’s newest skate. Here is a post dedicated to that tour stop at aMALL. It was a great time. He chilled at the shop, hung with the locals and then we went to Lake Cunningham where we disappointed Chris & Kato by taking them to a park that regulates hard on pads. Well I think we made the best out it and Chris did this wall ride/soul that no one has ever done. I mean I think they built this ledge deal for giants because it’s nearly impossible to get onto. I say nearly because Chris was able to handle it no problem. After the park staff chumped everyone hard we took off for some hot wings and beer, followed by more beer and some hangovers.

A 2.5 minute edit filmed and edited by Ivan Narez. Thanks Ivan for hooking us down dog.

Chris Haffey 2.0 Cali Tour - third stop from Be-Mag on Vimeo.

The official tour stop edit by Kato. The entire update can be checked in full over at Be-Mag.com here.

And the few pictures from that day uploaded onto our Flickr account.

We thank Chris and Kato for stopping by our way and Thank Ivan for making an edit too. Good times YALL. Come back again soon now ya here.

Come session with us THIS Wednesday (3/24/2010) at the Lake Cunningham regional skate park in San Jose, CA from about 6 pm to 9 pm with SPECIAL GUEST - CHRIS HAFFEY, KATO, & VICTOR ARIAS.

If you plan on skating bring a $5, a helmet, and elbow pads - or a long sleeve shirt to cover your elbows. Sock pads don’t fly here (WEAK AS F*** I KNOW).

To get you all juiced on the session I decided to throw together my first “Clip Dump” of 1 day and 1 night at Cunningham. The Clip Dumps will be random archived clips that we are just dumping into quick little edits. Enjoy it you will maybe.

I know most of you may have seen this, but we had to re-post it anyways. Basically Amall team rider ‘Sneaky’ submitted this little gem of an edit to Razors. In this short edit Sneak throws down and brings you some never before seen ‘COMBOS’ so enjoy!
