Death Match 2

When I hear it in my head its kinda in a demonic style voice...if you know what I mean. Death Match was frickin awesome. Our great hosts at 621 really did a killer job getting the ramp and the shop all done up for this event. Ramp got a sweet extension and the shop got some sick graffiti work done up by some local artist. Shot calling was handled by Andy B and Ron Allen, killer combo. Sponsors were thick for this little party, folks like the mighty VS, Spitfire, Antihero, Thrasher, ASF dist, and Lowcard. Musical entertainment locked up by Drunken Starfighter, and Regulator. Of course the skating was off the hook. That new portion of the ramp got a through working, and it definitely took the session to another level. I actually found myself hopping up and down on the deck and going "Ohhhhh damnnn!" many times. Winners were 1st Brad McClain, 2nd Ratface, 3rd Ryan Carpenter. Another note worthy goings on was the release of the new Skidmark magazine...icing on the cake. Great work Mike O!! Good friends, great time. Thanks to everybody!!

Man Am

Shindig, party, event call it what you want all I can say is a down right kick ass time! The folks over at your favorite Livermore spot, Six Twentyone, cooked up one hell of and idea and served it up pipng hot! The basic jist is a competition set up to give the bros out there killing it the time and attention they deserve. Oh and also have an excuse to have a rager complete with strippers, bands, tattoo booth, hard alcohol, beer, and food. Sponsors included Skidmark Skatemag, Jim Beam, Santa Cruz, and Krux. Of course the Pile style crew rolled out Andrew was on the mic calling the shots, and keeping eyes on the strippers. Bruce was there with a collection of the VS folks and they were holding it down. Tadashi was having such a good time he became partially undressed for most of the event. The bottom line was good times and friends, some newer than others, all getting together and getting it done. Thanks to all the people who made this first of hopefully many "Man AM" events so much frickin fun!
