Live Kickflip Challenge Webcast at SKATELAB Saturday!!

This Saturday at the Simi Valley SKATELAB in beautiful Simi Valley California there will be a live webcast of the Krux Kickflip Challenge they are hosting on Go Skateboarding Day this Saturday.!
SKATELAB Webcam
Check it out and if you ever get a chance to visit the SKATELAB I highly recommend it.
They have the best skate museum I've ever seen. From 60's scooters to Gator memorabillia to present day skateboards you can really see the evolution of skateboarding from Gidget to Shecks... know your history, shredders.

Btw, is that a hang ten overcrooks? Fools ahead of his time...

Snowboard Connection/ Krux Kickflip Challenge

It was the 3rd annual Snocon Kickflip Challenge in Bellevue at the new plaza style park in town. Michael Patterson (Snocon rider and NHS flow rider) took top honors by getting 341!!!
Here's a pic of Michael and his entourage.

And here's a shot of him making the magic happen. Good call on the Strubing deck...

You can't see too much of it in these photos but the park looks quite tasty. Peep the rails behind this stokage:

Brice and the Snocon guys (Sean Toomey and Christian Sellers) really outdid themselves on this one and hooked even more NHS gear on top of all the Krux prizes. Good job fellas!
Here's Brice with the heat sheet. Don't let the bullhorn fool you. This man is a savage on a skateboard.


Checkout this pole-jam at the park. This is Brice's twin brother, Benji. Apparently its a family affair.

Straight up raw street!

And last but not least, the staple of any good skate event:

Yum.

Big thanks to the guys at Snowboard Connection, Brice and Crouch and good job Michael!
