Fun Fun Fun Fest 2013

Published 11/12/2013 by Jorge Angel aka Porpe

Fun Fun Fun Fest requested the services of The Boardr so Ryan and I were in Austin, Texas to help coordinate some skateboard events this past weekend. There was a wide variety of musical acts. We're talking from Snoop Dog and MIA, to Slayer and The Descendents. Not to mention there was also comedy, wrestling, and of course skateboarding. I went there with camera in hand to document the festivities.

Skate Course Fun Fun Fun Fest 2013

The venue for the Fun Fun Fun Fest was located in a park overlooking the Austin skyline. There were three stages, a comedy tent, and a skate area that consisted of this mini-park, jump ramp, mini-ramp, and vert ramp.

The jump ramp was popular amongst those riding BMX. It was layerd with plywood so the skaters weren't really riding it.

Here is the mini-ramp where we hosted some Demos and Best Trick Contests.

Elliot Sloan had the metal weekend of his life. Not only did he get to see Lamb of God in Hollywood on Friday night, he got to see Slayer on Sunday night at Fun Fun Fun Fest. He did his part, nailing this huge 540 tail grab to end the Demo.

I am not sure if you are aware of this, but Twinkies is making the sweetest comeback ever.

Clements is feeling the comeback. I'm pretty sure he ate over 20 Twinkies throughout the weekend.
