Greenville

Ryan Ford, Trent Reed, Alex Meyer, Jon Finucan, Josh Sapp, Dan the man, and I all went to check out this contest at Fusion. Lots of good fun to be had and insane skateboard maneuvers to be done. Finucan, JSapp, and Ford all killed the park. Alex got third place in the intermediate division and was ripping as always. Here's some pictures of everything but skating. I only managed to take one decent, semi-useable skate photo.


We stopped in the ghetto where Trent serenaded the locals.


"Ryan Ford! Where is Ryan Ford?"
Ryan raises hand
"Oh shit Lunchbox, I didn't know that was your real name"


We safely arrived in Greenville only to get stuck in traffic at some train tracks that apparently had no train coming. Someone drove on the median around the road blocker things and everyone else followed suit. We were just waiting for someone to get plowed by a big CSX.


Ford here, just making sure we aren't going to become greasy spots on the tracks as we cross.


We browsed around town for about an hour looking for a decent hotel with decent prices. Trent was so excited when we finally got a room, he forgot he had a recovering broken foot and side flip-alien signed this gap at the hotel.


Chillin' out.


Little Alex (driving) and Ford went for a beer run. Jk jk. Ford just giving Alex his first driving lesson.


And later...


Ryan Sheckler and Sean Malto were at the contest.


And Finucan does a nollie heel while farting on the guy who likes to rock a hat similar to mine.


That is all. Footage update soon I'm sure.

A Big Thanks

To the guys over at Europeskate.com for getting me and Finucan some exposure over across the pond. I was browsing their site and also found that they put up Wells' promo on their video channel too. Hell yeah this is global! Check em out.

Flixxx

A few of my first skate flicks of the summer. Clips are in the video. Way more to come...stay posted.

What you don't know about this shot is that Wells had to ollie up a 3 stair going about 45 mph, set up for a kickflip within about 20 feet, and boost one over THAT. As well as doing it perfectly, he did it in such a small amount of tries that I didn't have the time to angle-hunt or take a decent picture. This is the best one I got.

Wells Shaw - Ollie up, Kickflip


Keep in mind these stairs are about probably less than 5 feet wide with handicap ramp uphill run-up. Not to mention its a 10. Not my scene but Finucan killed it.
