dope flyer! halftones + shades = so hot right now!
Yeah, I know. Sorta too hot. BUT i wanted to change the Kiss album cover a little.
im in it to win it…….miniramp is my favorite shit……its on.
The sheeting on the mini ramp has been rapaired and not is really fast thanks to Edward Jenkowski and his brother the welder. Link to Flyer: http://www.skatenerd.com/imgs/home/hot_in_the_shade.gif
I’m unofficially judging the SAN’s BBQing…I might even shred.
Hey, I bet that stew is a great guy.
As of now I do not have a 3rd judge for the contest. Ki has a wedding, Mark Plain has a job out of town, Phil Jackson is not answering his phone… who else? Other news, the Franklin’s Paine generator we were going to use blew up acording to Carlos. So now I am borrowing one from Mark. Hope we get it in time. Ive got a PA system and some Mics. Ive got a dj with tables. We dont have the wires that connect the PA to the DJ. Anyone got a suggestion?
way to put yourself on me!
I got whatever wire we need.
When is it? I will be the judge.
if the flyer is accurate aug 26th
Sorry DO, unfortunately I’d never ask you to judge, because I rarely agree with your opinion. No offense, just sayin’.
Am I needed to judge the skating too. OK, as long as the cookout contest and skate contest aren’t at the same time. I give points for flare, bad gear, and feathered hair.
Didn’t Bradman already win, I thought I saw the results already on ESPN? Or was that the Extreme Gravity Cup?
Thats ok, I didn’t know you guys wanted rubber stampers.
That was harsh, I’m sorry, I got second in a contest once since I knew the judges, so I know how it is. Really though, whoever wins, (I guess it won’t be rockabilly george now) ought to be urged to hand back at least some of the prize money.
DO, you have done a hell of alot of trolling here, and you have made quite a few people very displeased with the majority of your comments. Let’s see, we have Kerry Getz as a judge, Brannon John, as a Judge, and we need a third. Who the f are you? And don’t start talking shit about this contest, for whatever reason. You should try to be making friends, not enemies.
I think its a really good idea. Thanks for doing it.
damn if you need me to judge all you had to do is ask
Is there going to be a Texas Death Match like the Jim’s Ramp contest…cause then I would enter.
“Judging” skateboarding makes no sense to me, so I’d be out. Besides, I’d give more points (is that how they do it?) to the skaters who make me laugh. Besides (part two), I also would be way too partial to the people I know. How about this? Whoever has the most fun, wins.
Jorge, Judging is sorta lame, I agree. However I hope you still come out. This contest is for fun… cool sponsors, no one huge, mini ramp, no TV just other skaters with cameras. Its gonna go down like this: Best run, best trick and most unique trick. Its gonna get wild, im sure. Then again, how wild can a mini ramp get? So glad this is comin’ off. Thanks everyone for your time. Now im off to FDR to paint the ramp at 7:45 am.
Can someone get some video clips for our Broketape.com project? Haveboard could you talk to anyone filming and get some clips? I’d be stoked.
im going to film 2morrow, i will definitley send some footy that way

Props to skatenerd for putting on a super fun event. Philadelphia needs more stuff like this. Phil Ladjinski’s warmup lines where the sickest I have ever seen on that ramp. Blunt kickflip in on the extension. Backside 180 kickflip INTO the ramp from the deck. Tons of fun and $2 veggie burgers. Major accolades to everybody who organized and especially to everybody who competed.
finnegan ain’t no duncan tons of fun today
I missed it, because I was at a family jam party. My family kicks ass. I’m glad the contest went down well. It’s always fun to hear people mention sick shit Skinny did. Did Lou ever paint a wave on the ramp?
The ramp stayed white, i dont know how but no one painted it over night and I am glad. :) I bet it’s alredy covered in really messy tags and bike wheel marks. No skate photographers showed up. A few told me they would. hmmmm…
who ever made the jamy jam shirts….far out
Next time I’ll be there to get the annoucing done…Running my mouth is what I do best…I get’s it poppin like the 4th of July……Props to Pete for winning. That was probably more money than City ever paid him..(yeah, still bitter about that one..City SUCKS!! Cut and paste graphics are for the birds.)
Ki, I have no problem MCing. Don’t people get to hear you run your mouth enough?
I get paid to run my mouth on the mic…..whut whut!! Don’t worry though, at the next event, if I end up doing it….and you’re nice, I’ll let you bring me some water……Talking shit get’s me thirsty….
Sorry to rain on the parade but I believe MC Layway is the best MC for skate events.
Ki, once again…shut up. Especially since you have you new “MySpace Group”, maybe I’ll just kick you off haveboard. As for layaway, most scared! He can’t event hang out for more than a half an hour because he has to go home and change his diaper. Layaway should drop the MC ’cause he’s a phoney!
Ouch.
Haveboard…..I requested you….Tom is just a hater…And stop threatening to “take your ball and go home”…It’s getting old…
I got your ‘request’. Do you really think I want to sign up to another spot where you run your mouth?
Fuck you, you crying bitch. I will put havetearswillcry.com back up if you dont stop flooding the internet with you tears! I am the realest and most Def MC to ever announce at a contest. I have bussiness to tend to sorry if I don’t stay longer to give you more attention. You see how I roll. I got to maintain and get paid. Skateboarding ain’t paying my car and house note. So get off my dick. Layaway 4 eva
The king of anger! Haha, this is getting out of hand.
Mark is just mad that I don’t feel like scheduling my skateboard time to match his.
This is what it sounds like when haveboard cries
I’m not scared. I love how all the sudden, tables have turned, and ‘layaway’ has bills to pay! That was never a good enough excuse for me, but layaway, he makes the rules. All hail the king of crying, hiding behind a monkey mask!
heeeee hhee a hheee Maybe your just like your father to cold.Maybe your just like you mother she never satisfied. This is what it sounds like when haveboard cries heeeee hhee a hheee
Mark, I’ve mad a topic specifically for you, maybe this will help fill you need for attention for the rest of the week. https://haveboard.com/index.php?blog=comment&postID=900&table=news
