ASR Mini-Ramp Jam Presented by Volcom
by Ryan on Thursday, February 04, 2010
The plan was no plan at all. We were just hoping that some legit dudes would show up and skate. But Schaefer did a damn good job of recruiting heavy hitters from next door at CrossRoads and it was on.

It’s Time Again for ASR - Are You Tired of Hearing about My Trips Yet?
by Ryan on Saturday, September 11, 2004
I bet you’re wondering why we’re taking Afro-Jim and Scotty to ASR with us. I’ll go ahead and hype them up – they’ve both earned it. Yeah, us execs run the joint and all, but without those guys, Skatepark wouldn’t be what it is. So this is our little way of saying ‘thanks.’

Day-Bay-Day at ASR - Sunday
by Ryan on Friday, September 26, 2003
I forgot to mention that somehow we ended up hanging out with the infamous Baby Schitzo last night. Since he didn’t
have anywhere to stay, we let him crash on our floor. Waking up to Baby Schitzo in our room was definitely an experience in itself.
Day-By-Day at ASR - Saturday
by Ryan on Tuesday, September 16, 2003
As the sun rose, so did I. Barry and I thought that it would be a great idea to head over to the
show before it opened and ride the mini-ramp. We had a full-on session at about 8:30am. Thanks to the official
ASR badge with my name on it, the Staff Pro security guards were forced to sit and watch us skate. That badge is gold.
Day-By-Day at ASR - Friday

Although I didn’t go to bed until late, I woke up early since my body was still on “Florida time.” It gets light out really early on the west coast and the construction starts at sunrise. There were buildings being raised on three sides of our hotel, so sleeping past sun-up was out of the question.
Day-By-Day at ASR - Thursday
by Ryan on Monday, September 15, 2003
I think that after several years of going to trade shows, you become a bit jaded on the whole scene.
It’s not like I don’t like going, because I do, but maybe I’ve just been so wrapped up with the day in/day out
of operating Skatepark that I didn’t really want to leave. But my attitude changed upon arriving in San Diego.

It’s time once again for the Fall ASR Trade Show. In case you’ve never heard of it, this is where “it’s” all happening. For three days, the entire skateboarding industry will be working, and partying, in San Diego. From the guys that design the concaves, to the reps that write the orders, practically everyone will be there. Although it never works out, I’m going to attempt to give a day-by-day account…first thing I need to do is get a digital camera…

Just because this Krew Tank Top is $19.95 this week for Wizard's Weekly WTF Deal doesn't mean you need to be wearing it while you're filming skateboarding stunts. Save it for the beach or mellow skate days. Thank you.
