eS Game of SKATE at SPoT 2007
By Rob Meronek

Thursday night was the eS Game of SKATE here at SPoT. Clem and I had a flight to LA we had to catch for that one contest where people get extreme. We left before the Game ended and now we're in LA, but before we broke out, I snapped a few photos. I don't remember what most of the tricks are and I don't know who many of the skaters are, so all you get are my random trivial observations as captions. Check back later for full results.

This was the scene early on. Before we left there were three times as many people. I spy a mohawk mongolian
Walk like an Egyptian
Jack Moran could make some sick shadow puppets right now
I wonder if he's got Dinosaur Jr. in the iPod
When you skate without socks, it feels like a shoe full of Petroleum Jelly
How long does it take for wheels to get that yellow?
Even kids with one arm and one hand were ripping
This kid can only give one thumbs up
This kid, too
Mad pop like Jim Bates
Pee Wee Kirk's signature disco point comes out on every photo
Clear grip tape used to be cool. Now clear boards is where it's at
Don't fall asleep while looking at these photos or this kid will cut you with them Freddy Kreuger fingers
TJ Sparks made it. That other kid, not so sure
Time to call Jenny Craig if you snap your board on flat ground tricks
That hat makes me wish my iPhone was here already
That is definitely no Jim Bates snap
I like Al Bow's style
One arm kid is back. This time he grew a hand like Swamp Thing
Yonnis is probably posting a MySpace bulletin right now
Lots of people who completely rip do really bad in Tampa Am. Nate Humphrey is in that club. I'm a fan of this dude
Andy Mac approves of the pogo stick jump
Andy Mac approves of the helmet on flat ground
I hope Mike Espinoza ends up winning it
