Creature: The Darkest Passage Into The Depths Of Doom and Despair
Haha! You drop into a ramp that leads to a room where you're stuck with Sheckler for the weekend. You have to be his spotter when he's weight training too.
*You're surrounded by 80 ft tall transition so you can't get out.

80' tall? You could pump your way out...
-

That would be true if it weren't for Sheckler's mom being there to focus your board when you arrive there.
-
girl always seems to come up with the best ideas, and whoever decided to give creature an obstacle
well they probably saw this comming.

sacto rebate?

This contest is actually a good time! They have bar's thru out the backlot! Nothing better than drinking and watching skateboarding.
-
The Girl obstacles are always stuff that would be really fun to session.
I'd like to see what Creature is doing for their obstacle.

cant wait till krooked comes one year with a parking block. all this shits nice and all but a parking block sesh is the true test of a mans metal

KELCH IS GONNA BE KELCHIN IT UP.. SO WATCH OUT.

This is possibly the only skateboarding contest that I care about. Really, I just care because I want to see what everybody designs, but still. I'll watch the clips on monday morning.
-
This is always pretty fun and cool.
I wanna see pics of what they're gonna look like.
-
I know nothing about these contest really... how long has this been going on? Seems like a cool idea.

did anyone submit their own design? i sent in that bank/spine thing, but it looks like they aren't going to pick any obsticale and make it for the contest... what's up with that

i submitted the one done in paint. sticks out like a sore thumb.
they have the vans team choose which they would most like to skate and the winner has their obstacle built wherever they want.
the cost to build has to be less than $10,000

Mettle.
And I agree, parking blocks are near the top of the list of the funnest things in the universe of skateboarding.

"Who dat? It's the Creature guy again. I'll find out who he is later today. That's the Creature obstacle he's doing a backside 270 on over the hip. The way you hit it is to duck through the tunnel coming from your left then go up a bank on your right that you can't see in the photo"
(http://www.skateparkoftampa.com/spot/images/vdts7femblocals.jpg)
I'm hyped to see what people are gonna do at Girl Gonz Wild in the runs; Peter Raffin BS 360ed it and someone nollie BS bigspinned it in practice

webcast
-
Did j-lay just switch tre the gonz first try?
-
Cool, the webcast is just choppy enough for me to see a dude approach the gap, freeze, and see said dude not land his trick.
-
It's working for me now, stoked.
-
mine was pretty choppy the first couple of minutes too. it may clear up a bit.
-
Mikemo fakie 360 flipped it near the end and Malto hardflipped it last try.
Webcast worked fine, I just watched in the regular media player.

Billy Mark's double flip was pretty sick

worst filming ever. and the DJ blows.
-
this is probably the most boring thing I have ever seen. Its painful to watch. You'd thing a bunch of men in their 30's giving away $85,000 might be a little more organized
-
Notice how david loy didn't clap for omar.

billy wins?

Anyone else just see the announcer make fun of Nyjah?

I won a guitar right before the foundation thing started they asked what the obstacles where and i copy and pasted the crap on the first page

damn...Omar looks bad. Good to see he came back at the end. We was on the other end and didn't even know what was goin' on...but they wheeled the stretcher right past us to get back there.
Hen, it's all good man. Gotta handle your business. Folks just missed the punt down there. It was pretty chill...heads just kicked it for a few. I got some footy and i'll see what's good and what I was filmin' faded. We had a garbage can full of 40s...probably 3-4 cases. Smyth hooked up some "Girl Gonz Wild" brown bags and pretty much just chilled while folks were skatin'.
There's new pics up on http://www.myspace.com/emb4ever (http://www.myspace.com/emb4ever) and http://www.emb4ever.com (http://www.emb4ever.com). I'ma get some video up in a sec. Hey, we did some random interview with this reej from FuelTV...if anyone sees it, post up the link. I heard they filmed the webcast at an angle so you wouldn't see the trash chillin' and holdin' down the block. Ha, we got censored from the freaking extreme sports channel. MEH!

And did anyone notice how fuckin sick that frontside three was over the gonz gap, I think it was alex olson, that was one of the best fs 3's I've ever seen.

Omar's scar is going to be a pretty gnarly battle trophy. Sucks that he got hurt, but the guy's a beast.

I LOVED HANGING WITH THE HOMIES. MORE FUN THAN IVE HAD IN YEARS. COME TO THE CITY SOON SANCH! I MISS YA LITTLE GUY!

That shit looked embarassing to sit thru all of that. I guess liquor would have made it easier to do and would have made it fun. Arco is a funny ass dude to drink with-yeeeeeerrrp!
I think people are just busy and it has nothing to do with not wanting to hang with old homies. Not everyone cares for hyping up an emb doc after 20 years have passed. So yeah, I've most defs moved on and am glad I can let it go.
