Staying Classy in San Diego Next Week

ASR and Crossroads is in San Diego next week. Shakka bras are excercising their thumb and pinky, Cali girls are asking for the week off at Bennigans so they can booth model, and every industry dude becomes sketchy flyer guy trying to get you to come to the ultra-cool-guy extreme sunglass and boardshorts party. Skip all that and join the crusty skateboarders you've been seeing
all around the globe all year at the Annual Damn
Am Awards. Remember the Awards from last year?. It's like
that except this time it's at the Tum Yeto headquarters in downtown San Diego. There's a mini-ramp, free sauce if you're of age,
and the SPoTlight Productions staff in budget ass suits giving out awards to our favorite skaters of 2009.
Also at ASR, SPoTlight Productions and Volcom are doing a $10,000 Best Trick Contest at the mini-ramp there. It's Wednesday, February 3rd at 2pm at the San Diego Convention Center. It's all given out in cash as you throw down your best moves. I recommend that you bring some cash with you, too, because if you're doing wack crap like blunt nosegrabs, we are going to charge you for it. It's kind of like a reverse best trick contest. You hurt our eyes, you have to pay. See you there.

I've been posting random ramblings to this What's Up blog on the SPoT site since 1999. Here's a random list of some of my favorite posts over the years...Rob.

The SPoT crew did a demo at a hockey game yesterday. It turned out to be a pretty good time with some ripping skating. Check it out: Red Bull Demo at Ice Palace.

Hold your hand up to the computer screen. I'm high fiving you all over the internet. Although my skateboard was taken before I even entered the courthouse building, followed by my camera being taken, and then my phone getting taken right in the middle of court proceedings, my ticket was thrown out. Yee haw! Check out my story and some video footage of Officer Doofy fumbling about before he caught me filming him: I Fought The Law And The Law Lost. Again. Thanks, Doofy.

Colin Clark, Jason Rothmeyer, and I just left the Copenhagen Skatepark for a bit to check out an amazing spot we heard about down the street. It's kind of like a downhill snowboard run but with banks, ledges, and small gaps along the entire way. We all took turns behind the lens and filmed a few tricks before heading back to the park where we are now for the Annual Ring of Fire.

After traveling for 27 hours from Australia yesterday, we're finally back in Tampa. If you think you had a case of the Mondays, check ours out. We left the hotel at 8am on Monday morning, spent the next nearly 30 hours traveling, and arrived in Tampa on Monday at 8pm. That's a 42 hour Monday for us. On Sunday, we all had nothing to do so. Check out some chill shots if you're bored: Australia Day Six - Our Day Off.
