Looking down at Van Doren Invitational, I spied some nice kicks. Get your hints on whose shoes are whose by watching the live webcast, video recaps, and checking the coverage below. On August 15, one person will be selected from the list of perfect scores to get a free pair of Vans. Play now and win some Vans.
Even if Tony Alva was far before your time in skateboarding, it's still pretty damn good seeing a 57 year old man ripping the bowl.
Nice grip by David Loy. There's an answer to one of the questions on our Whose Shoes Game from the weekend.
Tim walks the line you're not supposed to cross like a tightrope between two skyscrapers.
Amelia turned drinking legal over this weekend. You can get in all the bars but not past skateboard security.
The crowd is bronzing in the people cooker up there.
Strap a GoPro to that bird and you have a non-GMO droid to film the contest with.
I want to see a time lapse of the crowd getting baked and bronzed.
This bowl is built in the sand.
The other side should be Uber.
Pause while we go barge the etnies signing. Porpe gets right in line and draws his signature fish for all these kids wondering who he is.
We're on the Red Bull tab watching the NBC broadcast of Hart Lines. Thanks Red Bull and Felipe for the entertainment.
Jason, our head judge, and The Boardr Live, our event administration and scoring system, ran things behind the scenes all weekend. We could cook dinner on those iPads frying in the sun.
We'll leave you with HiDefJoe's drone view of the site.
