Respect park Slope Style

The Canyons annual slope style event was off the hook. The talent killed it, the course was amazeing and the crowd loved every minute of it. We saw plently of 7's, 9's and every combo of jib trick in the book go down throughout the comp. McRae had the smoothest runs of the day. The Peter bros battled it out one right after the other all day. Flaska had large tricks pop out of his bag. Andy Kantola(rail jam winner) was throwing down. Miklos Papp impressed us with huge style spins. All in all, it was a fun day watching the park slayers murder the course. Here are the final results for each catagory:

WE LOVE SLUG MAGAZINE and CELTEK!

Even though I'm always in painted horse on the weekend I gave my radio and my rake to this 6 year old and told him to call at the first sign of trouble. Why you ask??? So I could sneak over to check out the Celtek slug magazine beat the pro comp that was going down in upper respect! Grabbed me a red bull, snapped a couple pics, got yelled at by Duke (not really he loves when I snap pics and write blogs) and I was out. In the 5 mins I spent there I witnessed some pretty crazy stuff, spins slides consumption of red bull and other things like juice and soda. Awesome event and a great turn out. But like I said I was off in a flash back to the small jumps in painted! Uhhhh son. Man I love J.P. and his cool sayings.

check the pics-

Peanut Gallery

Andy and Johnny got to tear down a jump and build this in ONE night. I could say it a thousand times and it still wouldn't be enough, we have the BEST cat drivers.

hmm don't really know what else to say, but its almost 1am and I gotta be up at 9 to shred with the homies! More pics to Come!
