Summer Slam a HUGE Success!

Despite the fact that Eli's photos have the wrong date on them I can assure you that they were taken today.





Skateboarding events in the state of West Virginia don't get much better than this. This year's event was sponsored by Pawnshop Skateboards and Marc's Board Shop and drew skaters from across the Mountain State. There were 4 Teams on hand and the events included contests on the street course (which consisted of two very nice quarter pipes and some bank ramps, rails and box) and some slalom racing as well. Big Thanks to Brian at Pawnshop and Marc of Marc's Board Shop as well as R. Mac for being an awesome MC, Andy for the killer paint job on the ramps, Cary for just being Cary, CDub and the Apathetic Delusion Team, Matt and big Ron for representing the 30 something and up crowd, Phil, the guy working the grill, Coon, Mongo, Andrew, Morgan, the tons of friends I got to talk to today, and of course to my wife for keeping the slalom course clear when we were running the cones!
