Vans Amateur Combi Classic 2014
Vans Skatepark hosted another skateboarding blow out in the Combi pool last weekend. This time it was the amateurs who tried to rip off the coping, plaster, and tiles with high speed, hard grinding, heavy tail smacking, wheels screeching, mind melting insanity! I’m surprised the grout didn’t jar loose and more tiles didn’t fall out from the abuse they took on this Saturday.
OG Jam Series #4 – Vans Skatepark @ Orange CA.
Vans requires a list of competitors to get access to the bowl – To make it easy if you have ever competed in any of the OG events I will have your name on the list. If this is your first, please register with jeff@concretedisciples.com or with me sk8pks@aol.com
Spectators will not be allowed around the bowl, the upper mezzanine is the viewing area for spectators. Only competitors, pre-registered media, judges, and a few volunteers are allowed to access the Combi bowl area. The skatepark will be open as usual in the rest of the park. Hopefully we’ll get the roll up door open on the square side for a few people to be able to watch.
Ladies Division looks to be on again. Over 30 and still shredding, the Old Gal Jam Series is on!

Pro Tec Pool Party 2005
The riders were skating like there is no tomorrow. Piles of money on the table. Rune and Patch doing full doubles runs un-planned nearly made me def from the crowd eruption. It really felt like a great moment in skate history was taking place.
Transworlds 20th Anniversary Party
Transworlds 20th Anniversary Party
Corey Parks ignited the crowd like the old days at Nashville Pussy with 20 foot fireballs. I am sure the OC’s finest were freaking about this. (video)
Dogtown & Z-boys Movie Premiere Party
This was our second radical skateboard event in a week that we were lucky enough to get an invite to. These non XTREME events and parties are really what skateboarding is all about.
