A Day In KC

We pointed the bus south to KC for a great day of skating. Escapist Skate Shop opened up a new location in downtown KC. It is a skate shop/art gallery. They will be featuring some skateboard art in the the upcoming art shows in KC. Check it out if you are in the area on Fridays during the summer. Sean Malto released his new shoe during the Grand opening. Lots of support for Sean in his hometown. Rightly so everyone has nothing but great things to say about Sean. We wish him luck on his new shoe.
The weather was perfect mid seventies and NO WIND! We hit 5 spots and still had a lot more to hit we just ran out of light and energy. KC has a killer skate scene.
Check out the photo page we have a section just for the KC trip. Check it out!

1031 USA Tour 2009

The 1031 2009 USA Tour has come to an end. The guys are all back home and resting their body's after a month on the road and 9000 miles under their belts. I must give props to "Iornman" Kristian, he drove the whole thing battling the elements, fatigue, and a van load of smells that the Las Vegas crime lab could not even identify. The last leg was a trip from Fort Collins CO to Oceanside CA. They left in the AM and made it by 11:00 PM. That is normally a two day trip.
Lots of photos, video and stories from the road. I am sure you will get more from 1031's web so keep checking it out.

Dakota White Wins Trip

Dakota White won a trip to the Money Cup In Cali!!!
He won the trip with the most votes for his video posted on the Internet.
So thank you if you took the time to vote. This is his first trip to Cali and he is going to tear that state up! They might not let him go home. So we wish him the best on the vert contest. After the big event Dakota is meeting up with Greg to get a SoCal tour of all the great skate spots. We will let you know how that goes.

Dec update

We have had a busy month. Edge had their annual contest. It was a big turn out. I thought the highlight was Dylan taking 2nd place in the beginners class. This brave young man is undergoing chemo therapy and still manages to compete in a contest. He skated great earning him a strong second place and a bundle of prizes. Good job Dylan.
The Vinny's Team had 3 skaters in the top 4. Pat 4th Jordan 3rd and Greg took 1st.
Thanks to Marv and his gang for putting it on.
Last Sunday we took a road trip to Des Monies to check out Saylor indoor park. Nice place Liz the owner was very cool and made sure everyone was taken care of.
Greg did a huge gap that even got the bikers to stop. Liz said it was a park first. Check out the photo, I am sure it will make the next video so watch for that.
Greg heads back to Cali in a couple weeks. It has been great having him home but he is ready to go back to the sunshine and SoCal skate scene.

Wednesday Greg was skating at Vinny's. He was doing a gap to rail. He ate it and caught his hand at the bottom of the ramp. The impact was taken at the elbow causing it to pop out and chip some bone. Greg grabbed it and put it back in place right after it happened.OUCH!!!!To add insult to injury a couple nights before he got his first speeding ticket, the officer told him if he completed a STOP class it would not be on his record. The class was at 6PM that night. The accident happened at 5:20. Ice and a ghetto sling got him through his 4 hour class. We then headed to the emergency room.The x-ray showed a break in the elbow and they put it in a splint.Today we went to the orthopedic surgeon, The Dr said the break was some chips and the tendons were still attached so this was great news. No surgery! No cast! This is answer to prayer.He will be back after it soon.
Note:
Check out the new video posted it will show it.

Buddy from Tracker had a funny one, he said " well I am sure this won't slow him down, but maybe the ticket will."
