King of Rialto

Um....we probably shoulda' been @ DC King of L.A. or Active's Game of Skate yesterday. That's where all the cool people were - making the scene, buying into the trends and trying to get sponsored by corporate surf conglomerates disguised as skate companies (fun!?). Instead, we left the cool climate of West Los Angeles and headed to Rialto (huh? I didn't know where it was 'til yesterday either) for Pharmacy's "RX Games". Pharmacy's Vegas crew made the drive out and came up lucky on this 777 Saturday, skating off with all top three spots. The locals got some too, with Fontana's very own Caveman walking off with best trick for his kickflip back 50 down the eight stair rail, which dealt out some serious punishment in the form of rolled ankles, swellbows and hippers to most of those in attendance. Our own LV ripper Donny Parke was busting moves like this FS salad grind but was havin' some trouble shaking off the prior night's activites and had to settle for third.

The cops had perfect timing, showing up after the contest was over and running everyone off the premises. We headed back to VB and posted up @ the Daily Pint just as the sun sank behind the Pacific, downing draft Leffe's and discussing our newfound appreciation for the marine layer. I'll take that in lieu of New Era caps with the sticker (and tag) still on and T shirts that fit like dresses any day (I'm sorry - what did you say? I was listening to my i-Pod.....)
