This is your last weekend to get footage in for Gear 4 A Year and a chance for a spot in Tampa Am. You can also get a spot in Tampa Am by getting top 12 in any Damn Am contest. There are two left this year: Canadan in September and Costa Mesa in October. Email Rob @ DamnAm.com for registration. If I don't know you, you're going to have to send over a link to your video footage. Be careful with that.

When Schaefer and I used to ask ourselves that question 10 years ago, we didn't realize the answer would be "the same thing we did 10 years prior and the same thing we're doing still to this day." And that same thing is skateboarding and making new friends at the skateboard shindigs. It doesn't get old. We have set the dates for several events we're doing yet again next year in 2010. The Moat Show: January 13 - 14, 2010, Tampa Pro: March 12 - 14, 2010 (guess what's missing this year), Damn Am Minneapolis: June 4 - 10, 2010, and Copenhagen Pro: June 25 - 27, 2010. Several more to come soon. See you next year...

Just a few hours earlier, we attempted to drag Clements out for the DC King of Vancouver After Party and a cruise on the Coors Light party bus. What a party tornado on that thing. I managed to have just a few beers before sneaking out of the party to get a few short hours of sleep. Good bye, Vancouver. See you in three weeks for Damn Am. There's a few minutes of footage on the SPoT Facebook page.

If you follow our Twitter, you'd know that Clements was in a meeting yesterday with the Skatepark of Tampa Business Team wearing flip flops. The week prior, Barak was posted up in the meeting with the bare dogs out, too. They both need to look closely at the list of shoes currently on sale. Since it's so long, Nike SB shoes on sale are on a separate list. There's another Back to School Sale going on now through Sunday at midnight. All of these categories are 20% off and you can get a full listing of them here: Backpacks and Pants/Jeans, T-Shirts, and shoes.

Things are still a little backed up in the ASS (Asian Sweat Shop - online order packing).

Every now and then I'll send a photo from my phone in the trenches of Innetech to the SPoT Twitter page. There's also some video from Manny Mania Atlanta on the SPoT Facebook page. Photos and story from that coming up as soon as the box pile dies down and we all return to our normal jobs.

Even though I filled out the proper application and was confirmed for a pass, I was not surprised to be denied photo entry on site yet again at the extremist action carnival. I don't feel so bad now that I've heard Danny Way got told, "Sorry, the credentials office is closed," when he tried to get his friends and family in. Jim Thiebaud and his son also got denied. Alex Olson was denied to skate in the Contest as told here by Chris Nieratko. Warning, there's some bad words in these clips from Nieratko so don't click the play button if you don't want a vocabulary update.
In other skateboard contest ramblings, thanks to the guys at Concrete Disciples for the nice words about SPoTlight Productions.

That link is footage of some team managers from your favorite companies breaking it all down for you. Sinclair sums it up nice by simply saying, "no bulls#!t." You have until the end of this month to submit your footage.
