The party got started a little late and for those of you who didn't know. We were planning on renting out the whole outskirt side of the skatepark and throw our party there. But soon to our dismay, the city told us just 1 week before that we couldn't unless we provided $1000000 proof of liabilty insurance for the event! Come to find out it would cost us average $600 us dollars to do that!
So we went around it. The party had been put off long enough, we weren't going to cancel it. So we held it in the parking lot out of the back of a trunk! haha It was the most ghetto thing we have ever done. With an unbrella sticking out of our trunk giving away free swag and cranking music all day! It wasn't so bad.
We had over 150 skaters show up over the day. Celebrating the new release of the Scoff website, skating, and slapping stickers all over their boards. We were giving away free swag ever hour also! Inlcuding magazines, stickers, shades, gatorade (it was 86 degrees outside), water, key chains, shirts, skatelaces and more!!
We had kids doing all sorts of things like sticker slap the ice cream truck without getting caught!
Then some kids who weren't so sly tryed to slap to many on and got caught by the ice cream man. Not good. After a few hours of handing out all that free swag and chilling with our local scene, we brought out the tv and played videos for a few hrs. It was like kindergarden all over again. All the kids instanly sat down in rows before the telavision in silence as we played all sorts of skate dvds.
Near the end we had an un announced competition. A progressive trick contest off the 8 stair. We had 4 entries. The game goes like this, each person gets 10 tries. You have to do the tricks on the list, after you complete one within the 10 tries you step up and go to a more difficult trick. Here was the list Ollie, 180 (either way), kickflip, heelflip. Matt one of the competing skaters injured his ankle doing the 180 and called out. Andy got stuck on trying to land the 180, he almost got it but his rotations were full. Christian and a kid nicknamede Momo, made it past and both got stuck on the heelflip.
So we changed it up and set up a new list, Treflip and if you got that then you had your pick of either doing a switch kick or a manual to ollie over the stairs. Christian landed the treflip on his 3rd try, Momo got stuck and could get it under his feet. So Christian won!
At the end of the day, everyone was tired and ready to hit the hay. We had a blast and know the people that came did also. If you haven't already make sure to check out the new Scoff website at
