adidas Skate Copa at Austin

We used airbnb.com to find a place to stay in Austin for part of this week. The owner's dog chills with us in this nice two room guest house that we're stacked in.
We're on site at 6am to set up banners and stickers as usual. Cool that this amazing park is also lit up, too.
I hope you got your footwear upgrade from the adidas tent.
Sergio Ledezma has a pretty tight rollaway from this switch frontside 360 for the Fast Forward team.
Pause for a gear check with Matt Irving. He's putting together the Skate Copa edits you'll see on The Berrics that include street missions, a closer look at the Contest, and other things going on over the weekend at each stop.
Porpe has his Music Coach hat on for DJ AK making him run a little bit overboard on the OF at times.
The Kingpinz crew checking the stats leaderboard after sweating it out in their jam. You know what, I should brag more about how I can make computers do just about anything. Here's a stab at it: So, adidas mentions about a week before the event that a leaderboard with updates on contest progress and scores shown on an HD monitor on site would be nice. Any other production company would throw up arms or at least a huge bill and get pissy. I just sat down, dorked off spitting out some computer code, and there you have it. It's done and just added as icing to the cake of top quality service you get from The Boardr. Okay, bragging done, for now.
Tyler Tutaj rides for No-Comply. Can you stomp a nollie backside flip any more perfect than that?
There seems to be a lot more smokers in the crowds here. Maybe it's a Texas thing.
Garrett Young contributed the most to Rukus making it all the way to the end. That's a frontside bluntslide.
Did you come up on a Skate Copa shirt? Maybe you caught one from Pete Eldridge up there.
Thanks to BLX for coming all the way from Tucson. They got a special award for that.
Garrett's special award was Keeps a Lickin' and Keeps on Tickin'. Some of those slams he took were pretty harsh before he got back up to make his trick.
We'll see the whole Rukus crew at The Berrics for the Finals. Congrats, dudes.
The open Best Trick was a frenzy as usual.
Jereme wasn't in the contest, but since Best Trick at each stop is open to anyone who wants to skate it, he got this switch crooks to forward in there.
We've got some cash at each stop for Best Trick. Jereme got his. Porpe probably got some of Jereme's on a sketchy street agency type deal or something. Thanks everyone for being part of another Skate Copa stop.
Food trucks are the norm here. Thanks No-Comply Skate Shop for hooking up Fork in the Road for everyone after the Contest.
With a 3am wake up call to get home the next morning, we had to skip the late night after-party, but Porpe stayed out all night and made his mark. Thanks Elias for hosting and having your crew in the Contest.

adidas Skate Copa Austin and Nike SB's London Am
6/13/2014
The Boardr Live, our app that handles registration, billing, scoring, and all that number crunching stuff for your skateboard shindig, is behind two events this weekend. Nike SB is using it to run the first stop of their am series in London this weekend while we're using it to run adidas Skate Copa in Austin. The crew in London is using it for the first time, so they opted not to have live results published, but for adidas Skate Copa, you can follow along on your phone here or with the on-site monitors that display the leaderboard and most recent event progress. Thanks for using my skateboard software, ya'll!

I hope you caught all that on ESPN for the Street Finals for both men and women. It was a fun and ripping afternoon of skateboarding here in Austin, Texas. After Grant Taylor skipped town and gave up his spot in the cut to Alec Majerus who had just missed it yesterday, I was certain he was going to take it today. Then Nyjah came with new tricks and of course his usual bag of destruction. Get the full week's results here. Congrats Nyjah, Lacey, and Pedro for gold in Street and Park this year.
All Right All White

In skateboard heaven I picture the cleanest most hard snapping crispy flat ground where I'm playing Porpe in a game of SKATE and beating him over and over. When I look down at my Nestor Judkins immaculate cloud kickers, I discover that they have yet to accumulate a single scratch or speck of dust. I'm chillin'. Cloud kick it with me while we sit back and watch Porpe struggle with 360 flips.
