Ha Ha is right! BTW -- Henry -- is that a Brown Bomber given nickname you have? I wouldn't be surprised to hear you say "yes". Anyway -- we have a whole collection of these skate park id's that used to be kept in a shoebox under Richy's bed. Now I have the originals for safekeeping . . . ;) And I think it was Brad Ellman who made the noidnoskate.com website.

HEY RICHY!

I was looking around this website called no id no skate.com (something like that) and I found THIS!



I like the part that says "Riding Classification- GOOD!" HAHA

What a modest fellow you were.

Cheers my brotha

All:

I can't thank everyone enough for helping make the Casper Classic 2 a success: Bobby "Casper" Boyden, Frank Lee, Mike Foster, Al Garcia, Michael Stine and Crew, Matt Brown, Dan Gesmer, Russ Howell, The Staton Family, The Barrios Family, Steve Day, Laura Thornhill, Heidi Lemmon, Daryl Grogan, The Carrasco Family, Primo Desiderio, The Pope Family, The Douville Family, Gunter Mokulys, The Synnott Family, The Robertson Family, Lynn Cooper, Carlos Lastras, Francis Lavallee, Witter Cheng, John Leathers, Daniel Trujillo, Aaron Lasnover, Andy Terbovich, Sean Myers, our DJ. Sorry if I missed anyone.

Also, thanks to the sponsors (Casper Industries, Sk8Kings, XNE, CowboyPunk, Navigator, Direction, ConcreteWave Magazine, Sheraton, BulletStream Technologies) of the event, and the companies who made it possible for their riders to participate (Reverse Freestyle, Capital, Outlook, Seismic, Oust, Food, etc.) Sorry if we missed anyone.

The skating was amazing, both during and outside of competition. But, the company we kept was even better. It was so good to see everyone again. The freestyle dinners were filled with an amazing cast of skateboaridng legends and champs, past and present.

I sincerely hope that word will continue to spread about what our community is trying to achieve, and that our hard work as a team and our networking will lead to the support of more and bigger opportunities in the future, providing the flatland freestyle skateboarding community with various avenues for those who wish to compete while providing various other opportunities for those who do not. The end result is that we not only want to preserve and honor a piece of skateboarding's history. We want to see it thrive, push progression, and make sure that we have the backing from a financial and technological perspective to make it happen. For those kids who live several miles from the nearest skateable obstacle, we want to make sure that even they have an opportunity to excel at skateboarding.

Enclosed is an updated list of the contest results. I was just informed that the video footage will be made available by end of week.

Big props to our SK8KINGS team members who represented at the Casper Classic II over the weekend!

SK8KING John Pope is the newest World Champion 360 Spinner -- winning the 360 spin-off competition on Sunday. The surface at this venue made it impossible to use steel wheels so John muscled his freestyle setup and spun his way to victory. John also competed in the Master's FS event and placed 4th -- all this while babying his recently injured back!

SK8KING Primo Desiderio entered the Pro Freestyle event and walked away with second place -- not too shabby for the Preeeeeem -- who was also recovering from an injury!

Team Captain -- Richy Carrasco was on hand to demo/jam and was a judge for most of the final events on Sunday -- deciding to sit out the 360 shoot out and coach John Pope to victory instead.

Besides our SK8KINGS team rider victories -- the highlight was connecting with all our fellow flatland enthusiasts. I was there of course -- cameras in hand -- and will post some images and more as soon as possible.

Congrats to all the skaters -- great to see you all again!

Just wanted to put the word out that we're having a freestyle demo at our slalom race here in Athens, Georgia on September 11th.

Alan Benson out of Atlanta is putting it together, just received word that Frank Lee, Sam Hood and John Leathers will be skating.

Next year we hope to hold a bona fide freestyle contest.

Ok,
This is what I want to see at the Casper! Check this out, I know your having a 360 contest. But how about a spin off kinda like a 60's dance contest (you spin until you drop). Check this out! Someone blows a whistle, everybody starts spinning at the same time. Oh my God can't you just see it!!! Ready set go, The announcer is pumped, Here we have in the middle the 360 champ Richy Carrasco,next to him we have Russ Howell by the way,he just turned 25 for the 2nd time. Over there in the corner is the one and only Primo, Oh look over there it's "Gary H" right next to him its that crazy Pope Dude.. look I see YoYo, Is that Chris Chaput selling wheel's as he is spinning, You know what I like about this you don't even have to count 360's. All ya do is spin until you drop out,then cheer on your buddies, You do this 3 times and then you have the new Spinning Big Jack! Do you remember when you were kids taking your sisters jacks! (unless you were a Carrasco they had 39 boys or more & 1 girl? I think) You would just throw your jacks and let them spin until they hit something on just died out.. Peace Out...

All:

It's been quite busy at Casper Industries. Final details are being wrapped up for the Casper Classic II.

- If you guys liked the custom glass and marble trophies last year, you'll be happy to hear that custom trophies are being made for this year as well, but with a new look.
- The schedule of events for the Casper Classic II has been released. Check out Click here for link for details.

By the way, a couple of us are planning to hit Venice for a session on August 16 after the event. Please join us if you can.

Thanks,
Frank

Great Jam in SD last weekend! We skated on a end of a pier that if you lost your board it could go overboard! Chinaman,Primo,Jester,Clarke,Kludy killed it along with about 20 or so BMX riders. It seems like a good mix with the cylcle guys,we are in the same family as far as trick riding! Thanks again Robin for setting this jam up and supporting the scene along with swag and food! Highlight of the jam for me was Kludy almost riding off the pier doing a elbow stand! Great recovery! See you at the next one!!!!!!

Jumping on the band wagon on this one since our BMX friend Robin Washington stepped up and announced this combo jam. We're not hosting this event but expect to see some of the SK8KINGS team show up in sunny San Diego.

Been looking for a SD venue for awhile -- hope this works out to be a good one! Cool Robin!

Who else is going?
