Arockalypse Contest and New Spot Mega-Post!!!

The Arockalypse One-Year Anniversary Skate Contest & Art Show went down this past Saturday. Jayosh, Terry, Mitch, JG, Gabriel and Myself journeyed to Edmond to get some of the action. Here's how it went:

Tee-Rent was the Master of Ceremonies, he's always good at that sort of thing.

Preston Cheek won the high-ollie contest at something around 38 inches. That's not him in the photo however. Dang!

There were a few Bud Lights floating around to quench the thirst of anyone over 21, especially  dirty bearded bikers with pink and green shades. This dirty bearded bider just so happens to be a spokesman for the Alternative Thumb Team of America.  A-T-T-A!!!

Grant was in attendance, shralping the bowls and looking after Damien. It looks to me like Grant is attempting to rep the ATTA. I'm not sure if his thumbs are alternative enough to be considered for membership. We'll have to look into this...

The OG's were out today, baby!!! Another homie for many a year, Huss was at the park refreshing himself with his flawless tre-flips.  I remember seeing him huck a tre-flip over the metal grate at Chase Plaza downtown, with a big 'ol pager on his hip. This was like, at least 10 years ago. Youngsters better act like ya know.

Stony Phillips was there being positive, cruisin the 'crete and flexin' on kooks while donning the proper t-shirt for the occasion. He and Tee-Rent bulk up for the camera. I wouldn't fuck with either of these dudes. For real. 

We abandoned the contest before it was over, but I heard Vert-Gary and Kevin Keef took top honors in Best Trick. Way to go dudes. Much to my envy Gabe rode his bike to the next spot while we all rode in cars.

The new hot-spot is located right on a picturesque golf-course in a pretty nice neighborhood. There is clearly No Trespassing, but every citizen we ran across seemed to enjoy our presence. Go figure. I'm holding a dirty slipper that was lying near the sign, possibly a clue that someone else who trespassed there wasn't as lucky as we were.

Here is a panoramic view of the scene. Nice and relaxing.

Terry adds some phallic symbolism to an otherwise already-strange image.

These idiots were pretty drunk and convinced one of their buddies he could still skate...

...in his socks. He couldn't even push. Sorry kook, back to the golf-cart you go.

Here's Two-Bit's take on the scene:

Keep in mind while you're here you'll want to have cash handy when the golf course refreshments cart cruises by. Beers are $2.30 each, they got water & sodas too. The Ditch offers It all & is pretty much perfect. Go there on a nice day and you'll get the pleasure of interacting with the local golfers. The locals accepted us and gave up some beers in our good spirits. I'd say, "This spot's got potential."

You said it, T.

All in all, a pretty damned good day for us all, even though I got sunburnt really bad. Poor me. 

And now for what you've really been waiting for, some footy. I put together a short mini-video from the golf course spot. Gabe Friedman, Jayosh and Terry are the skater-boarders. Enjoy. (like the others, this video will be permanantly located on the video page as well. Okay? Okay. You're welcome.)

Homeward-bound,  Terry uses his multi-tasking abilities to light a cigarette, text someone and choose a tune while driving. Simply amazing.
