adidas Skate Copa at Los Angeles and Finals at The Berrics

We didn’t even realize Bill Cosby was on our flight from Tampa to Los Angeles. The Body had to get the creeper style photo.

First stop was PizzaNista. We were hoping for a SOTY spotting of Salman Agah. We got some good pizza, but no SOTY spotting.

Christian Dufrene was one of the first skaters to arrive from Rukus Skate Shop who qualified for Finals. Here is a hardflip.

There was a nice little crowd for the adidas Skate Copa West Coast Regionals.

At each one of our stops we had a screen showing live score updates using The Boardr Live. Santa Cruz Boardroom was stoked to see that after their jam they were sitting in 1st Place.

Vern Laird is an ATV of skateboarding jobs. When he isn’t managing a team, filming, or announcing, he is DJ Swiss Dreads.

Video coverage of adidas Skate Copa West Coast Regionals and Finals will be provided by The Berrics. We will let you know when they are up. They got all the angles.

Vincent Nava is a little dude with big tricks representing Mainline Skate Shop. Here is a perfect front blunt shuv down the big rail.

Here is another big trick from the little dude. Vincent Nava had no problem with this kickflip frontboard.

This is probably the hardest trick I saw all weekend. Trevor McClung with a switch backside 360 down the 10 stairs.

Active Ride Shop used the one pro skater per team rule properly by having Jordan Hoffart on the team. This laserflip helped the team get to the Finals the next day.

Jordan Hoffart is always going as he would like to say it, “Hoff.” Here is a monster tailslide to switch manny.

Tre Williams representing Active Ride Shop helped his team get to the Finals with this nollie frontside feeble.

Active Ride Shop took the win at adidas Skate Copa West Coast Regionals.

Come to find out Rob was at The Berrics, and not in Vancouver running Van Doren Invitational.

Billy Rohan made it all the way to The Berrics from New York with the rest of the Labor squad. He had the best headshot of the weekend.

The next day after the West Coast Regionals, The Berrics was under transformation for the adidas Skate Copa Finals. HiDefJoe has an ollie over the hydrant.

There was elaborate introductions for each of the shops that made it into the adidas Skate Copa Finals. Body being the one of the Masters of Ceremonies, he had to come up with material to introduce each team. He did not disappoint.

Tyrone Olson and John Montessi were in attendance to see the Finals.

This is probably the best trophy in all of sports. This is the adidas Skate Copa Trophy designed by the legend himself, Mark Gonzales.

The commissioner of adidas Skate Copa, Ryan Clements, in between the master of ceremonies, Tim O’Connor and Scotty “The Body” Conley.

The lighting for the kickoff of the Finals was insane.

There was a Dennis Busenitz sighting.

3rd Lair was hyped to find out that they made it to the Final round to compete against Active Ride Shop to win the first ever adidas Skate Copa.

The cool kids got good seats for the Finals.

This sexy beast is no other than Skin Phillips. If you don’t know who this guys is, go do your homework.

Chris Joslin can huck. He was finding the biggest gaps on the course and throwing down the hardest flip tricks down it. Here is a cab flip down the 10 stair.

Silas Baxter Neal about to present the trophy to the winner.

It wasn’t even close. These dudes killed it. Congrats to Active Ride Shop for winning the very first adidas Skate Copa.

After it was all over there was a special guest appearance by Pusha T. I had to get a photo for meandporpe.com.

Pusha T’s performance was epic to say the least.

HiDefJoe got the lurk photo with Pusha T. He should have a behind the scenes edit up soon.

Did I mention that Chris Brown also made a guest appearance and did a song with Pusha T. You know I had to get a photo.

At the end of the night Body had to get a photo doing a trick with the tux on. Thank you adidas and The Berrics for being amazing partners in making the adidas Skate Copa a reality. Looking forward to doing this again next year.
