Grove City Contest / Kickstand /Skate Naked...July 31st

There are multiple events going on this Saturday July 31st.

At 10 am the third annual Grove City contest is happening at the GC Skatepark.
There will be beginner, intermediate, expert and advanced contests in the bowl & street areas... expect it to be a long one..Sponsored by just about everyone, there should be some great prizes..

ALSO,
Kickstand Music Festival: The Second Annual Kickstand Music Festival is on Saturday as well.. The event is benefiting Pets Without Parents. A non-profit, no-kill, all-breed shelter for dogs and cats. There will also be live music all day and night (inside and outside). Old Skool is building a mini (outdoor) street course, just like last year. There is a $5 cover, but all outdoors proceeds go to Pets Without Parents. NOTE: Outdoors is open to ALL AGES, but indoors is 21 and over only.

Later in the evening, there is an after party at Skate Naked.

So basically there are plenty of things to do this weekend.

Just Kill Me. Summer Edit

This is a compilation of footage I've shot over the last couple months..New York trip, random Skate Naked footage, Skating the DNA ramp, and the 4th of July.

The second half is footage from yesterday at the AGA contest @ the skatepark in Delaware...... New York transplant Pat Rumney completely destroyed the park. Drake hit his head while trying a hardflip down the stair sand ended up going to the hospital. Hopefully he'll be ok soon. Despite that, the day was pretty fun. Had I entered the contest I would have felt a little cheated considering that the whole thing took place on the stairs...That park is really good. It's a shame the kids couldn't use the whole thing. Still, I think everyone had fun.

Sorry if it's too long or boring....

AGA Contest

It looks like there is a skate & BMX contest at the Delaware skatepark this coming Saturday July 17. I believe it starts at 4 pm. $10 to enter. It's being put on by something called the Agrenaline Game Alliance. I have no idea really what the AGA is... Sounds a bit XTREME...
From their website:
The Adrenaline Games Alliance is a Michigan based company producing original action sports events. ‘The Alliance’ seeks to support future development for action sports athletes as well as emerging musical artists by hosting new events in venues of all sizes. Seeking to compliment the existing action, ‘extreme’ sports properties, the AGA looks to serve as a development system and authority for athletes of all ages and skill levels.
