POST THEM HERE


I'm down in the basement prepping the latest batch of CD stickers. I need one user submitted idea to fill up one last blank space. This is NOT a JMS art challenge. I'm looking for something clever, offensive, and downright funny.

What will you win? Nothing. But we'll send you a nice bag of stickers and a t-shirt for your trouble. You have one week from right now. ADDED: Your choice of either of these 2 Lee Ralph Pocket Pistols Pro Model Decks shipped to your house.

Then the artwork goes to our friends at ABC and it's a done deal. Post your ideas in this thread. Remember, stickers are black and white, so no rainbow unicorn hippie crap will work. Get to work knuckleheads.

HARVEST GNARFEST RESULTS

On the 20th of October, 2007, the Harvest Gnarfest skate battle went down at the Northwest Washington Fairgrounds...in a barn that, for part of each year, is filled to the max with pigs.
Cops? nope...actual snorty-snout swine.





So many highschool-age kids showed up, that we had to break the mid-teens up into multiple categories.
Once we got that stuff figured out, the gnar ensued.

James Ure (the guy who took 1st in the 18&up category) was blasting HUGE ally-oop kickflips to fakie from the quarter to the bank.
Alex Vandergriend was tossing out lofty BS 180 melons & stales off the launch.
Brian Honcoop was bringing the usual, which for anybody else would be out-of-the-ordinary.

Dominic took first in the sponsored division and got some new Sabre Vision shades
and a new Pocket Pistols deck



Lastly, the Postma brothers were just SLAYING the course with flawless runs of tech-gnarliness.

Tyson Postma skated his entire final run switch...with all the insanity intact, except SWITCH!
Troy Postma won the best trick contest with f/s and b/s flips off a little kicker over 3 bails of hay.

Overall, it was rad times flowing in BBQ dogs, and beverages galore.
Thanks to all who participated, and the judges that showed no mercy.

Tyson Postma- 2nd Best Trick
Troy Postma- 1st Best Trick
Stven Seuen- 3rd Best Trick

Julie Kindstrand - Pistola

PISTOLA Julie Kindstrand has been on a tear since the Vans Protec Pool Party earlier this year. Julie took 4th in the Protec and followed it up with a 3rd at the Soul Bowl in Huntington Beach. She then headed up to Oregon for the 2007 Oregon Trifecta where she took first in two out of the three events. After that it was up to Scotts Valley for the 9th Annual Tim Brauch Memorial Contest. Julie took 1st again and locked up her number one spot in the World Cup Skateboarding 2007 Ladies Bowl North American Rankings. She didn’t stop there; Etnies just hosted the 2007 GVR contest where Julie found herself again at the top of the pile when the dust settled.

POCKET PISTOLS 101

VIDEO OF POCKET PISTOLS 101



We left at Midnight on our way up the 101 to do the Pacifica Big Air Event. After a 1:40 am stop to search for beer in Agoura Hills that resulted in 8 beerless gas stations and a conversation with the Ventura County Sherrif's we finally found somewhere that would sell us some Sparks and we were ready to roll.

Eric Gilbert


Matt Miskell and Shane Porter


Chris Hamrock

Passed out at a Truckstop in Prunsedale, wherever the hell that is. Woke up to the 'Prunedale Pit', a ditch with a downhill slope and a mini fullpipe that needed to be carved over. Matt handled that, we schralped it for a few and were on our way.


The Pit of Prunedale

Stopped by the Phil Shao memorial park in Redwood City, cruised it. Headed up to The City for a couple of hill bombs and cruiser runs. Rush hour in SF is a shitty time to try and bomb hills, but we got some runs and survived despite the usual hecticness of dodging cars & pedestrians, spare-change fiending junkies and street corner drug dealings.


The reason for the trip was to skate a mini-ramp demo with some of the Hosoi Skates guys and Pocket Pistols Canadian rider Anthony Hancock who was in town for the Pacifica Big Air Event. It was a pretty crazy set up. The ramp and some weird love seat kinda thing that was painted like a shark's mouth. It also had an escalator to extension and a set back banked wall. CW and Abe built the ramp and named it Large Marge. It was pretty killer for it's size. And there was some good skating going on for the demo.

Holmes about to rip the ramp up.

Along with the mini-ramp there was also a 10 stair handrail best trick contest with $500 for 1st place. Matt and Shane were up against some pretty ripping locals but Shane's 'caveman feeble' down the railgot him the cash.


He woulda blown his whole wad of cash on a hooker, but none of the escort services wanted to send a girl down from The City to Pacifica...oh well.


Matt tossed up some front salads on the rail.

Mikey V, the M.C., with Eric G

Hamrock got hassled

Tait, from Tait's Boardshop and the Logshop put the event together.

Shane got a board to the face, always fun.


Chris getting one last ollie out of the way before it was time to party.

Some kids were having a party up the street so we rounded up the crue and rolled up to the party after all three kegs were already dry. But we were already deep in Redbulls and vodka since Shane won a case of Redbulls earlier in the contest.

WTF?!? Shane, a Hurley wearing cowboy and a fashionably black dude with dreads? Weird party!

Yee-Haw

The rest?

Eric is a road warrior, drove the whole damn time



caught some sound waves

Hamrock hijaked the radio

Rain

Shine

800 miles and Shane had nothing to do

Till next time...


...What happens on the road stays on the road.
