You Don't Get Ten Grand For A Stink Bug

At Surf Expo on September 12, Volcom is having a $10,000 Am Mini-Ramp Jam. The Contest is for sponsored ams only, but some people get in through video footage. If you've done a stink bug or a blunt nose grab in the last five years, send your footage to Termite. Otherwise, if you rip and want a spot, send me the link to your footage and I'll see if you can get in. I wonder what kind of gear we will be sporting this time.

The duel of the wheelies seems like it was so long ago. Clem's got a short story for you and I have the usual pointless photos and caption banter in this chill cam dump: Wheelies, Endos, and Sauce.

 Body has been helping me out all week with the extreme pounding we've taken in the ASS (Asian Sweat Shop - online order packing). Thanks! Tonight he's hosting a Gonzo Boccio show at his place. See you there if you know where to go.

I have been in service of online customers and up to my ears in boxes since early last week. I had to fly home from NYC early to cover for our main online guy who quit with no notice during our Back to School Sale. That was one of the busiest weekends we've ever had come out of our ASS (Asian Sweat Shop - online order packing). Feels awesome having to send people notes like this. Things are just about caught up and I will soon return to regular updates with feet photos and chill shots of things that generally have nothing to do with skateboarding.

 Things have been busy. No time for the site, but for now, check out this Bo Turner interview. For all you kiddies, Bo used to be pro for Workshop and was a local back when the Skatepark was also living quarters for much of the staff and Brian Schaefer, the owner.

I'm super late for that energy drink's wheelie contest that's happening right now. Before I take off, here are some photos and a story from Clem on our NYC adventure so far: Back to the Banks 2008 & A Few Days in NYC.

This past weekend after the All Ages Contest, there was an Altamont Back to School Bash After-Party down in Ybor where it seems most of the people there were born in the late 90's. Sorry I missed it. Here are some photos and words from Clem:

There are currently thousands of things on sale right now, so I wrote a report that will hopefully help you quickly find the most discounted stuff. It lists the top products in each of the most popular categories that have the biggest discounts like these Krew watches that are over $100 off or these Abington shoes or this SB Military jacket that are over $50 off. Right now all orders get some pretty decent free stuff, too. If it will fit in your box, we throw in a free current copy of Skate Book, among other things. Happy bargain hunting.

The online staff and I are about to take it straight to the ASS (Asian Sweat Shop - online order packing) because of this huge Back to School Sale. It starts tomorrow and goes through Monday. Since stuff that's already on sale is even further on sale, some stuff is as much as 70% off. I like it when girls' clothes are 70% off, too. Still trying to figure out how to get girls' clothes
100% off.

This weekend
Bristol,
Porpe,
Frosty,
Schaefer,
Clements,
Barak, and I are going to New York City. Some of us are simply on the lurk and some of us are going for sketchy skateboard industry bid'niss affairs. We are all going early so we can check out Back to the Banks on Saturday at the Brooklyn Banks. Watch for full coverage of that here.
The next day is that one contest that fired SPoTlight Productions that ran it last year. I guess we might be at that if they let us in.

Barak took over for me on the geek-out number crunching this weekend and has the results for the Back to School Jam posted. Derewenko took over for me behind the lens. Photos coming up later. In the meantime, check out details about a photo show Derewenko's doing.

The Canadian border patrol guys were really trying to sniff out if we were here for work. There's no way this counts as work. It's 100% good times: Canadian Damn Am 2008. See you all next year, eh.

The Finals got rained out for the First Annual Canadian Damn Am so we had to go with the Qualifier Results as the Final Results. Top 12 get a spot in Tampa Am 2008 in December. Top two go directly to the Semi-Finals. Here are full results: Canadian Damn Am 2008 Final Results. Best Trick went down in the rain. Sketchy: Street Best Trick Results.

For tomorrow's Canadian Damn Am Street Qualifiers, there are 11 jams. You get one intro run followed by an 8 minute jam with four skaters. Your run is 25% of your score and the jam is 75% of your score. There are five judges. The high and low scores are dropped and the remaining three are averaged to get your final score. Here are the Jam Heat Sheets. Someone please do an anti-rain dance for tomorrow, eh. Thanks.

Schaefer and I had another sketchy encounter at the Canadian border yesterday when we arrived in Vancouver, but this time they actually let us in as opposed to the last time where they handed us an $800 tax bill and told us to go back home. Check out some chill shots: A Random Chill Cam Dump From Vancouver.
Clem stayed home to hold things down at SPoT. Today, make sure to wish him a happy tail block, I mean birthday.

This weekend ( when ANDREW REYNOLDS is at SPoT!), there's a 20% off sale on all Altamont stuff. If you're thousands of miles from SPoT like I am right now, you can still get in on the sale online. It's from Friday through Sunday.

This weekend in Tampa is the Altamont Demo on Friday ( Andrew Reynolds is going to be here!!!) followed by the Steaz Bowl Jam and of course the Back to School Bash Contest on Saturday. Don't forget, you can only register online. There's also an After-Party in Ybor. DJ Colonic will put a tube up your butt. Unfortunately, I am missing all of that.
Also this weekend is the Canadian Damn Am right outside of Vancouver in a town called Burnaby. If you can't make it or you get denied at the border after being detained for nine hours like the last time I tried to go to Vancouver, you can watch the whole thing on a live webcast at Skateboard.com. Full details on the Contest are at DamnAm.com. See you there.

Angel covered for me on yet another event I missed while gone from Tampa: eS Demo at SPoT 2008.
I'm in the middle of the extremist fest here in LA and just watched that human skateboard cannonball launcher thing go down. Danny Way is inhuman. A circus trapeeze artist style motocross looking backflip 80 million feet in the air might not look as pretty as a Kenny Anderson switch back smith on a ledge, but you have to respect those guys for pushing the physical limits of what you can do on four wheels and a stick. Some coverage of that and street is coming up after I get caught up.
