I rode up with Mike Sinclair, Dan Murphy and Nick Merlino. This I would like to dub as the “Crazy Van”, Skateboarders that are dead set crazy! Nick ate some beef jerky and puked the whole way there.
Got to the Grove where it was being held and had to check in. Everyone was there. We had VIP tickets which was a bonus.
Anyway I got in there and lost Mike and the Crazy’s and bumped into Mapstone and Bryce Golder. For the record there were so many Aussies there… Azar, Chima, Choi, Sammy Winter (Who got kicked out before it started), Burman, Golder, Corbin, Andrew Mapstone, O’meally, Fardell and Mumford also Bjorn was there too. If I left any out well I am sorry maybe a couple of others were there.
So Lance, Geoff and Ian Deacon take the stage say a few words. Geoff dedicates the Vid to Shane Cross. The movie starts with a small Shane montage then it has this Play do/Clay works thing of shane surfing..Then into his part which is so good. They do some crazy shit to his tricks with peace signs fire and rainbows and what not. Next part was Rowley. It is not as crazy as the Sorry vid. Hand rails are not as huge but his skating is insane, some crazy dude does the biggest drop in, in the world it has to be and gets worked twice trying it. I guess his Sorry part is one of my favourites. Like usual another Lennon/Beatles song! There is some crazy shit with a mountain lion! After this it goes to Louie Lopez. This kid kills it. He is so good and everyone in the Audience approves that this kid is legit. I have seen him around for a while now and wondered if he was really that good. you know you see stuff of him now and then but he is so good. Great part not only for a young kid. Rodrigo Tx comes in next. I have never been a huge fan of his skating but I do respect what he can do. But this part I think is his best. I think it is filmed well which does his skating justice. Ali’s Part was short but we all know why but what is in there is good. It is Kooky and quirky and a bit of a laugh, typical Ali stuff. It had a few gnarly things in it. Next was Bobs part. I guess I used to wait for Bobs parts and just couldnt wait to see them all. The last part he had was ok but I just personally Bob had lost everything that I had thought was so amazing about him. This part certainly blew all that away. Bob is now my favourite skater again! It is insane what that man can do. His vert part is great but it is his Mega Ramp part that will blow anyone away and he got by far the biggest cheer of the video. Danny Way invented the Mega ramp and progressed the skating but Bob just took it to a whole new level. Funny if you watch Bobs runs from the X-games this year you can see that he was just toying with people. What he can do on that thing is just at another level. Jake could do a 900 on it but what does blows that out of the water. Sounds bias but everyone thought the same.
Luans part was solid. He killed it. I think he will be Pro very soon. I hate to say this but the next part was the worst part of the film. Curren Caples is so rad and everywhere I see him skate in person he rips but the DVD did not do him Justice. Sorry Little man! This went into a Euro montage and Willow from Berlin had some great stuff as well. Runes part was rad but we had already seen it all in the Thrasher mag with the exception of a few parts but it was rad. Also the Love Bowl footage was so rad!
Next up was Penny… Just standard Penny skating if you can say that. He is looking a little worse for wear but he certainly is ripping you know. Then Lance. Lances part is done well and typical lance with all the stunts he used to use on the Powell vids from back in the Day. Great skating good slam and just rad to see. The long awaited Appleyard part was great. He is so good. Appleyard delivered a good solid part that had some amazing skating.
Last part goes to David Gonzales. It starts strong..has so many solid tricks, flip in and out of rails ledges everything plus hits up some serious stuff. He is no joke. Great part and certainly the best part I think out of all the street skaters.
Great night went back down to SD with the Crazy Town guys from Tum Yeto, In and Out Burger and then home to bed.
