VB: Where the Debris Meets the Sea.....

Kill City (a.k.a. Venice Beach) was goin' off last weekend - we showed up early, Matt signed in, put his red beanie on, and commenced gettin' down - he couldn't connect the dots in the Street finals but came up 3rd place in the Pool event - go figure - VB is full of suprises these days:

Black Thursday @ Venice Beach

Big Al @ VB Skatepark on Black Thursday (pretty sure that's what the Indians call it)- like Americans need to get any fatter than they already are....Big Al passed on stuffing his face so he could get some runs in @ VB before the contest on Saturday. FS Ollie Alley-oop over the hip? Don't try this @ home (you probably don't have a park in your backyard anyway) - see you on Saturday....

Woodward Wednesday

Big Al and Matt Harvey building up an appetitite for Thanksgiving by chowing down on some coping followed by a slice of Tehacha-pie Skatelite - this actually took place last Wednesday (see "Hard Day's Night" post), but who cares....

BTW I see they got it posted up @ Palmdale Pool Project too, along with Grant Taylor's S.O.T.Y. clip and some bonus Grant Taylor PPP footage - check it out here:

Hard Day's Night

It's been a hard day's night....hit Santa Clarita park, followed by Palmdale Pool Project, and then a late-night sesh @ Woodward West courtesy of Chris. 12 hours door-to-door....braille-driving all the way home - totally worth it....here's a shot of Matt Harvey half way through the marathon, getting his alley-oop-hurricane on:

Thanks to Aryeh, Brian, Skyler, Jedi, Chris, Kenny, Kaz, and everyone else we crossed paths with - 'til next time.....

Better Late Than Never: Matt Kline Benefit

Better late than never.....last month ADDIKT teamed up with Bacon, Lifeblood, Coldwar, and a ton of other sponsors to throw a benefit for Matt Kline, who is battling cancer. Some pretty heavy locals inhabit Matt's backyard - even his dog knows how to roll in to the pool (check the video). Two-legged ripper Frank Shaw ain't too shabby either....the day of the event brough 70 degree weather and a ton of pros, bros, and locals who showed up to skate and donate. Many thanks to all the product donors (Creature, NHS, Vagrant, Knucklehead, Tum Yeto, Bones, Juice, Lowcard, etc.) and Grind Life/Jack's Board House for getting it all put together. Skate & Destroy Cancer!

Results:
Best Trick Over Door: Mark Partain
Best Trick: Benji Galloway
Longest Grind: Frank Shaw
Highest Air: Brad McClain
