After barely being home for any time at all, Clem and I are out here in Los Angeles for that one gathering of extremist marketing types. We stopped at the DVS facility for a quick session before things got going: DVS TF in LA. We're doing the same old tricks. Give us a break. Some pros have made entire careers doing the same old tricks. We'll be back home on Monday where I promise there will be some actual photos from the good old city of Tampa, Florida and that one skatepark they have there. I sure miss it.

When you consider whisper rapping, K-Swiss, and the hottest new skateboard trick known as the double pits to chesty that we got going on these days, a few Heartagram tats and a
little MTV show doesn't even sound all that bad anymore, huh? Nope, not bad at all,
I say. We're bringing back Bam Margera! You know, that guy from back in skateboarding's good ol' days when diamond earings were still for the jocks.
He'll be here with the Element team for a session on Sunday, August 2nd. Muska will be here, too.
There's also an After-Party with free PBR at New World. Not a bad Sunday and it beats retiring and spending it in the studio.

Blunt nose grabs. They're not all that bad. I mean, done right, they can look pretty clean and complete a bag of already amazing stunts on a skateboard. Think about it. How sick is that whole motion - roll up, wheels pop over the coping, stall, stall, grab the nose, stall, stall, compress, jump/yank, glide in backwards, hands in the air. Even sicker when dad gets the footage. I now officially back blunt nosegrabs. You know what else I'm backing? Green Day. The entire SPoT staff is going and we want you to come with us. See you there on August 3rd. Just kidding, a little.

One of my favorite Euros, Ricardo Paterno, just destroyed with two perfect runs at AmsterDamn Am to win the Finals. Colin Clark already has Ricardo's run in the Finals for you. Ricardo, and Adrien Bulard who came in second place, both get a free trip to Tampa Am and a spot in the Semi-Finals in December. The rest of the top 12 qualify for Tampa Am, too. Chima Ferguson won the Zumiez Destroyer Award for generally killing it all weekend.
Martin Pek won Best Trick with a fakie 5-0 fakie flip out down the concrete hubba. Check the Results Page for full results. More coverage with photos coming up on Monday.

Who's Marek Zaprazny? He's from the Slovak Republic. Everyone at AmsterDamn Am now knows since he's currently in the top spot in the Street Qualifiers going on right now. He just skated and Colin Clark already has a bunch of clips from his run put together. If you want a job in the sketchy skateboard industry, I suggest you copy everything Colin Clark is doing. Two more heats, then results, then sketchy dinner, then some party everyone keeps talking about. See you there if you're in Amsterdam.

It's going to be yet another SPoTlight Productions ripping skateboard shindig. As usual, Colin Clark is working harder than all of us. He's already got some footage of Dylan Perry on the course and Douwe Macare, finishing up his clips with a kickflip front board shuv it out.

So, some thirty-something skateboard nerds traveled half way around the world to go do some silly skateboard maneuver at a famous skateboard spot. It's a pretty big deal to us, maybe not to you. The skating (except for DP, who is not thirty-something) is pretty mediocre as you'd expect from people well past the big 3-0. Anyway, here's chill cam footage and photos with the full story and outcome from our journey: Two Days in Barcelona to Ollie a Bump to Bar. We are now off to Amsterdam to run AmsterDamn Am this weekend.

Adam Kearley took over behind the lens for me at the recent Free Day and Krux Kickflip Challenge. I know what you're really holding your breath for is the Barcelona Bump to Bar Ollie Challenge. We have arranged the poorest purse in skateboarding for this event: $0. The Goodyear Blimp will be hovering, press will be swarming, security will be tight, and you won't be on that VIP list you thought you were on. It's going to be a barn burner at the bar, all over Schaefer and I doing the ollie heard 'round the world!!!! Alright, maybe it's only a big deal to Schaefer and me.

Astro is this rollerskating rink in a Florida town of about 25,000 called Tarpon Springs. You can re-learn your blunt nosegrabs with the kiddies while getting up to speed on the hottest chart climbing pop hits. I always have a great time when I go, but it took me a while to realize the trick to having a good time there is to only go once every seven years. I wasn't on this last trip there with the SPoT crew, but Stalker Steve was and has some photos and a story for you: Astro SPoT Demo July 2009.

After arriving, we rolled through the streets and found a place to camp out for the night. I'm working on coverage from Rotterdam right now.

It's raining again in Rotterdam but looks to be clearing up like it did yesterday.

This year, I'm sailing over that thing full meron grab or I'm just going to have to quit skateboarding and play baseball or something. After that, we're headed to Amsterdam for AmsterDamn Am. While that's going on, Clem will be running things at Coastal Carnage in Huntington Beach, CA. It's the first time we've ever had to split up the SPoTlight Productions crew for two events going on at the same time. We all need clones.

There were all these emails piling up in my inbox with the subject "G4Y" that I thought was some kewl new way to spell "gay." LOL, however, this is not gay, it's "Gear 4 a Year" and you can not only win gear for a full year, but you can also win a trip to Tampa Am and an actual spot in the Contest. Check out the full details here: G4Y!. So, those guys at Shred or Die are going to have my footage watching job for a month when the Contest starts on August 1 and ends on August 31. Get your footage together and click submit.

There have been plenty of interesting names over the years in our skateboard shindigs such as Bill Pardee and the porn-tastic Max Peeters. Now add Jimmy De Kok who's skating in AmsterDamn Am on July 24 - 26. Please join us for nekkid preaching from the rooftop. See you there. It will be both a barn and spliff burner. One thing it will not be is a rice burner. They ride bikes there, not hurting wips. I don't even think rice exists in Holland anyway. Get the full details here:

There's a $50,000 prize purse with $10,000 for a photography contest at the Rotterdam Grand Prix of Skateboarding next month on July 18 - 19. It's a mixed Contest of top ams and pros. There's also a $20,000 budget allocated for travel expenses to get people we like to Rotterdam. Yes, so if you get a bribe to join us at Rotterdam because we want to see you skate, we hope to see you there. A commercial and more details can be found at the SPoTlight Productions site.

Thanks to all the sites that covered Copenhagen Pro in a much quicker and more professional way than I did. I need to step it up over here. Check out wdbm.dk. They have footage and photos of everything and a whole bunch of weird letters like "å", "ø", and "æ". Over at tackyworld.com, they're helping my hype up AmsterDamn Am next month and you can see all of Hellraiser's CPH Pro coverage. Back in the US and A, Blair from Transworld has his chill cam view of the Contest plus video of the Finals and Best Trick. Right here on our own moving pictures page, Colin Clark has several clips of the ripping that went down. Thanks to all the filmers and photographers that showed up,
even the semi-pro Brazilian filmers.
