...more Skate 4 Cancer

...here are some more pics from the park and a few from the show. I didn't take any of that acutally show...duh?! - The fist pic is of Rob and Mike chillin. Rob is probably the nicest dood out there and dedicating his life to helping others. Pretty rad.

Skate 4 Cancer Day May 30th

So as a lot of you know, a few days before the Skate 4 Cancer skate comp was scheduled to run we had to pull the plug. Again, many apologies to the kids that signed up and were looking forward to competing and supporting the event!

So instead of doing nothing, on Saturday myself and Baughn from Ultimate Skateboards look a trip down to the skate park to have an impromptu comp of sorts. We brought some prizes, and who ever was there was invited to join in and have fun. Here are some pictures of the day curtsy of Jason Ufkes. More to come!

Thanks to the kids who were down...and to the others just hanging. Peace ya'll.
