We met Ty Tarzetti at a stop on our road trip in his hometown of New Orleans. He made the drive along with us to skate The Boardr Am in Houston. This is a frontside bluntslide transfer. Nice to meet you Ty!

Southside's shop is looking super good. I hope you picked up some gear in the sale they were having this weekend for the Contest.
Element pro Evan Smith put on ripping demos for us during practice. He and Chris Blake slept in their van in the parking lot after stopping by Houston on a road trip they're taking out west.
Announcers Scotty The Body Conley and Tim O'Connor mentioned this parent in the crowd busting out her cross stiching. A couple hours later she showed up with cross stitched roses for each of them.
Thanks to all the supportive parents in the crowd.
Purple drank wax!? In a double cup, too?!? Amazing.
This is Jagger's 6-year-old little brother with a nice kickflip at that baby age. I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of him.
Henry Gartland came from 3rd Lair in Minneapolis and ripped his way all the way to the Finals. That's a kickflip back lip.
Alex on a backside noseblunt slide. Thanks for coming to both of the first stops of The Boardr Am, Alex.
Jagger Eaton swept the Qualifiers, Semi-Finals, and Finals here in Houston with hard tricks in his runs and jams like this kickflip frontside boardslide.
How are you going to bump someone out of first when they have a hardflip backside lipslide on lock like Jagger?
The Boardr staff getting it done up there.
Houston local Tate Malpass definitely turned heads at this one as he ripped and made it to the Finals. That's a nollie cab up the step-up.
