Malmo Ultrabowl Redux

Skreech made it to the Semis - close but no cigar - here's a few photos the man from O.M.S.A (aka "Dietsches") sent me:

Check out his blog for all things EuroSkate:

And be on he lookout for the upcoming "Dual Pool" event they will hold in September in Dusseldorf (that's in Germany in case you're geographically retarded):

Anyway back to the UltraBowl - Quicksilver is in the midst of a "financial restructuring" so they did not sponsor the event this year - three words for corporate non-skate companies: GLOBAL ECONOMIC DOWNTURN - no one is buying $40"artist edition" T's, $70 sweat shop shoes and $75 "moisture management" jeans anymore....just another example of a surf/wannabe skate company bailing out as soon as skating doesn't generate enough earnings per share....? You decide.
The nice thing is no one really seemed to notice they weren't there - there was 7,000Euros in prize money, sunny (mostly) skies, a ton of ripping skaters and a great pool - who needs "moisture management"....? Congrats to Benji Galloway on yet another big win - gotta' love that exchange rate from Euro to $ - that buys about 1.4X as many PBRs here as it does in Malmo.....!!

Don't Believe the Hype

2Q'09 foreclosure activity was the highest quarterly total on record:

Here is our latest find:

A soon-to-be permission pool circa 1955 - owner got our waivers in hand as we speak - waiting to exhale.....home sold a few months ago for a cool $55K - that's about $350/mo. all-in including mortgage/taxes/ins. etc....c'mon this is getting ridiculous. When you get bored go meet the neighbors: there are 3 other skateable pools in the same neighborhood - c'mon over its located in, uh....damn, my Alzheimer's is flaring up again....

Get 'em while they last.....after that look for the CANCER DUST/grip tape-free version at your favorite "core" skate shop wedged behind all the shop decks from China even though they probably won't be there (sorry had to throw that in there).......

100 Degrees in the Shade

2 hours each way in the car in 100+ degree temps just to make it to this session - if it wasn't Scott's 46th I probably would have passed, which would have been a bad call since this session was pretty epic - when was the last time you saw a 46 year old w/ a blue Mohawk throw down a Smith grind in a BY pool? That's what I thought.....

FOTO:CAMP
Speaking of old you know that's what you're gettin' when you ask for photos for a blog post and then it takes you so long to get it done that Mr. 559 has to do it himself - thanks to Jamie Camp for taking photos - nice to be in front of the lens for a change - click the link and enjoy the show:
