Carlsbad Gap Am Contest – Saturday, April 3rd

ON Video Skateboarding – Summer 2002

If the beaches are too crowded this Saturday, come soak up the California sun at Carlsbad High School, and watch the top ams compete for their place in history at the legendary Carlsbad Gap. TWS and DC are putting together this last session before the gap is torn down.

Over the years, Carlsbad Gap has been featured in countless skateboard videos and photos in magazines. It’s a sloping area of grass equivalent to the eleven steps right beside it.  The ground you land on after the trick is up hill making it difficult to ride away.

Check out this video of Jeremy Wray, Kris Markovich, Rob Dyrdek, Atiba Jefferson, Josh Kasper and more talk about why Carlsbad Gap is so gnarly.

Crossroads Show at Blackbox

Just returned to the office after stopping by the Crossroads Show in Carlsbad. It was hotter than Hades—literally and figuratively but we stopped by to see what some of our favorite brands were up to. Good times!

Gather round, boys and girls, because this weekend we’re celebrating not one, not two, but THREE holidays. Not only is Father’s Day on Sunday, but tomorrow is International Surfing Day and Sunday is International Go Skateboarding Day. All sorts of events are happening across the globe, so you have no excuse not to celebrate!

In addition to promoting the spirit, exhilaration and creativity of these sports, the goal is to bring awareness to our environment! So after you’ve gotten barreled or landed an ollie, make sure to pick up some garbage on your beach or park.

S.A.W. will be supporting Surfrider Foundation at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas on Saturday… Look for us shredding the gnar, stuffing our faces & cleaning the beach.

So wax your boards, tighten your fins, grease your wheels and GET OUT THERE!

In a Zoo York State of Mind…

SDC10404

The energy was high last night at La Paloma Theatre in Encinitas for the long awaited premiere of State of Mind, Zoo York’s latest video masterpiece. Packed with skate rats, industry legends, Zoo fans & resident San Diego hipsters, the premiere was a ton of fun and a huge success for Zoo York.

The film’s videographer, RB Umali, & Zoo team manager Seamus Deegan introduced State of Mind to the crowd before the awesome footage got underway. Zoo newcomer Brandon Westgate opened the film with a series of his incredible ollies, followed by the magic of Matt Miller, Chaz Ortiz, Donny Barley, Ron Diely, Forrest Kirby, Kevin Taylor, Anthony Shetler, Lamar Hemmings, Zered Bassett, Eli Reed & Aaron Suski.

The after party was held at everyone’s favorite dive bar, The Saloon, where the Miller High Lifes flowed like honey and things got a little hazy.

It was rad to have the Zoo tour stop in San Diego for an awesome video premiere, and S.A.W. is stoked to have been a part of it//
