Sweet Thing Blade Comp from Ryan b on Vimeo.

Az local Sergio threw a real street contest in Prescott Arizona earlier today. We hit about 5 spots before the winners were announced. Brandon took third.

LA ALL DAY took a trip back to the p-rail and a kicker contest days yesterday at the beach.  The cops didn’t show up until the end of the finals for the elite division, so everybody was able to get their tricks in.  Wiese took fourth.

After the contest, Tracy took Brandon and me on a tour of Santa Monica.

On our way to Arizona we picked up Jin Joint team rider Brandon Wiese in Ohio.

  We spent the rest of the day at his local skate park.  The next morning we left early and made it to Missouri.  The people there were all really nice except for an employee at Quizno’s that questioned Tommy C’s manhood.  The following morning on our way into texas there was a crazy storm going on in the distance.

We didn’t feel one drop.

After driving through Texas we stopped for the night in Albequerque.  There was a ledge in the hotel’s parking lot so Wiese hit a few back royalles before finally going to bed.

 The only other address on our trip tic besides Brandon’s house was Revolution skate shop located in Chandler AZ.    

Here are some pictures so you can check out all of the colors you have to choose from…

Enjoy…

Congratulations to Aaron Durand for winning the hundred bucks that Jin Joint put up for the best line.

Jin Joint is a proud sponsor of the l.a. all day events. These events are organized by rollerbladers for rollerbladers. If you live anywhere near where this competition is being held then be sure to go because 2 weeks ago Tracy White who is one of the organizers of the event flew all the way to Superhick from California just to support rollerblading. He even won the old man comp, so forget about the price of gas for one weekend and go to this event!

Jin Joint is putting up another 100 dollars for the best line, so some solid skating might hook you up with a free weekend.

The 2008 Superhick was one of the most exciting contests I’ve been to in a while. There are so many different events that lead up to the pro/am final, that by the time the finals do come around, you feel like you’ve already gotten your money’s worth. There were a ton of solid lines put together throughout the competition, but in the in end, the $100 award had to go to Andrew Jacuzzi. Skatepile deserves a lot of credit for organizing such a great event for so many consecutive years.

Brandon Wiese clips from Superhick are coming soon,as well as other edits, so be sure to check back regularly.

Brandon just sent me a really laid back edit of himself at one of his local parks-Enjoy…

This past Saturday, the AIL tour made a stop at Rye Airfield in Rye New Hampshire. I was happy to be able to make the trip out to the competition and be able to hook up the winners of the younger divisions with some fresh shirts. These kids really are the future of rollerblading and it’s important to keep them juiced about skating. Thanks again to Richie Velasquez for putting on such good events.
