An Insane Skateboard Party in the Mountains

We spend the entire day on the slopes with head to toe kits provided by Zumiez and their brand friends like Nike. You can't even tell who anyone is with all this stuff on.

That's Porpe with stinkbug practice before we slash down that hill back there.

Of course, I got the meron grab.

This crazy lightning machine was outside freaking everyone out. How can I get one in my living room?

If you've been skating for a long time, you know Dan Rogers from ripping in the H Street days. He still rips these days and recently joined Asphalt Yacht Club on the bid'niss side of things.

Jesse Fritsch handles the brand for Asphalt Yacht Club. We're both managing the children in the New Daddy Club.

Way back when Riley Hawk first started skating our am contests, he was over it half way through his run and ended up in last place because of that. Tony saw the results and asked us what happened. I remember feeling bad about him being in DFL. It's so good to see how he's grown into becoming such a great skateboarder and now pro for Baker.

I'm in the Asphalt Yacht Club circle right now with Stevie Williams.

Sam Smyth is one of the top skateboard talent managers out there.

Pioneer of the filming method #asstotrick, Jared Lucas.

Jeff Pang runs it at DC. I need a box of that Wu Tang collab!

Kenny Anderson aka The Perfect Man.

Zered Bassett noticed my Quartersnacks beanie. We're both fans of those dudes and their site.

Daniel Lutheran has no bad hair days.

I wonder, when you have a beard like this, do you have to constantly maintain and trim so there's an opening for your mouth or does your moustache just kind of naturally know to stop growing right there? I didn't want to ask Slash a silly question like that.

Justin Brock is in the New Daddy Club, too.

I wonder what kind of snowboard haterisms Vern was throwing out on the slopes today.

Jeff Taylor is one of the chief bid'niss dudes at DC. Lemme get that Wu Tang collab!

Steve Van Doren cooks up the Vans waffles at every event, even this one outside in the cold at the base of the mountain lift.

Uh oh, I'm doing Foot Fetishes? The alcohol must be sinking in.

Marty and Scuba got some alcohol sinking in, but nowhere near as fast as my thin blood is absorbing it.

Mike Anderson of the notorious Heat 9 in Kimberley, South Africa.

I finally got more drunk than Mike Carroll at an event.

Zumiez brings all their top staff members out every year for this ceremony and party. They are some of the most polite and enthusiastic people you'll ever be around. That explains the strength of their business.

We all should have the passion like Lizard King.

Ray Barbee and Chris Pastras aka Dune. There's a lot of skateboard history in this room right now. Congrats Chris on the new Stereo Skateboards distribution deal and thanks for letting us crash your room.

Chad Muska, one of the few able to attain a nickname with "The" attached to a last name.

These dudes are the chiefs of Excel Management that handles the finances and other super boring details of your favorite pros like Sean Malto and Ishod Wair.

Craig Chimile always gives me a hard time over my shoes.

I used to get the best emails from Chase Webb when he was a little kid asking about skating in the am contests we were doing back then.

Steve Miller got pretty hammered at the last Tampa event and ended up sleeping on my balcony. I outdid him at his own event here as far as the hammered part. Thanks for taking care of me, Steve!

We just roped Mikey Taylor in for a private event we're doing in two weeks. See you then, Mikey!

The Skater of the Year is here. If you're going to go tie dye, go all in with it.

Erica Yary mentioned the Skater Boi Fridays feature. She's going to featured in this week's edition so ya'll can holla back.

Pause for a gear check.

I wonder what kind of snowboarder Cory Kennedy is? When you're that good at skateboarding, does it transfer over to the slopes?

No one knew who Vincent Alvarez was years ago when he showed up to skate an am contest we were doing. It took a few tricks into his run before we realized he was skating switch. After that weekend, everyone knew who he was.

Max Schaaf is here to give away a custom bike to one of the Zumiez employees.

Element is here in full with Julian Davidson and Mark Appleyard.

Dennis Busenitz and Pete Eldridge are here with Adidas, one of my favorite shoe companies. We'll have them in stock here at The Boardr real soon.

Ryan Clements, Jeff Kendal, Bod Boyle, and a dude looking really young hanging with the oldies.

All I can think of when I see Andrew Brophy is that 360 flip he did over the picnic table.

Felipe Gustavo is also a client of Excel Management. His books and boring stuff are on point. Don't let that slip.

I can't wait to see Ryan Sheckler's Plan B part.

Bryan Herman has his books and boring stuff on point, too, thanks to Excel Management.

Neen didn't bring any of the booty chicks with him.

I met Louie Barletta here for the first time last year.

Brandon Biebel's Instagram account got hacked and was pushing some webcam girl's account for a while. It actually didn't look that unnatural.

The entire New Era crew was here!

Torey Pudwill was here to thank the Grizzly Gang for the support.

Paul Rodriguez is another one with books and boring stuff kept on point by Excel Management. Damn, Excel needs to make a video with all the dudes on the roster. It would be off the charts.

Adrian Lopez is running things at Loser Machine.

I blew it on Koston's headshot. You can still tell it's him, though.

Now it's time to stack posts for MeAndPorpe.com. First up, Shepard Fairey.

Next up for MeAndPorpe.com is Jasper.

Earl Sweatshirt and Porpe! Bonus Stevie Perez addition.

I had to switch places with Porpe for the photo with Earl.

Taco and Porpe.

Angel Ramirez can go on MeAndPorpe.com, but it's going to have to be in the Commoners column.

What are Ray Barbee and Rodney Mullen talking about? I don't know, but after I left, I know they were probably talking about me getting creeper status on them.

Jaime Owen recently joined Transworld after things blow'd up at Skateboarder Magazine.

Blair, sorry about that drunk tackle. I usually do that to DJ Wade. Maybe I thought you were him.

We all get hooked up by the same clothing companies.

I was hoping Elijah Berle and his dad jeans he used to wear a couple years ago would catch on as a trend in skateboarding fashion. I guess it didn't stick. That could have been our first step in the direction to return to king sized pants.

One for the Superstars column of MeAndPorpe.com. One of Ghostface's Top 10 Softest Rappers in the Game.

Stu from Zumiez can go on MeAndPorpe.com, but it will have to be the Commoners column for him. Thanks for having us out for another year and a good time, Stu.

Jim Thiebaud runs things top to bottom at Deluxe and is an early adopter of all things social media.

Clancy and Porpe, straight to the Superstars column.

I'm poaching someone's legend photo here. Eric Koston, Ray Barbee, Rodney Mullen, and Johnny Shilleref who founded Element.

Pause for another Foot Fetish after like five more drinks.

We'll put Wee Man in the Superstars column on MeAndPorpe.com.

Danny Way and Bryan Herman, both fanning out on each other.

I'm way past Mike Carroll's BAC right now.

I had to step into a photo with the man of steel myself.

We've watched Louie Lopez and Curren Caples grow up in skateboarding, too. They've turned into amazing young men.

Passion with another Skater of the Year in the building.

They're all laughing at me over some silly drunk thing I did. Not sure what it was. Ask Porpe.

I wonder if Joey Bada$$ spotted me staring at him the whole night. Thanks for getting the photo, Porpe!

I missed a damn good hip hop performance due to stupid alcohol.

And that's how my night ended. We kicked ourselves out. Thanks again, Zumiez!
