Skateboarding

Once again we tirelessly walked the aisles of the Agenda tradeshow to bring you photos of all the new gear that’s dropping later this year and next. If 2015 was the year of the rubber toecap, 2016 is the year of the Dad Hat. Tommy Hil and Polo tribute graphics were also seen in multiple booths proving that fashion and trends are always on a wheel that eventually comes back around. Take a gander. We’ll post another gallery tomorrow.

Yesterday we held our Long Beach Long Bar contest at Agenda consisting of a 100-foot flatbar and endless possibilities. Despite the blazing heat, tons of skaters came and flew at the flatbar full speed trying their best to grind the long behemoth. Only one person grinded the whole thing during the contest (Eric “Buddha” Jones) but lots of over-50-foot grinds of all sorts went down. Cheers to Jamie Foy who took first, Dylan Williams in second (sorry we didn’t get any clips of you Dylan, it was hectic!), and Jack Olson in third. Ricta wheels gave out $100 each for the longest crooked grind (Chris Troy), longest 50-50 (Eric Jones), and longest feeble (Elijah). Thanks to everyone that skated and watched. And to all of our sponsors: WeedMaps.com, Supra Footwear, SK8MAFIA, GoPro, and KR3W. Check the photos.

Yesterday we held our Long Beach Long Bar at Agenda that had a 100 foot flatbar to skate. Despite the blazing heat, tons of skaters came and blazed the flatbar trying their best to grind the long behemoth. Only one person grinded the whole thing during the contest but lots of over-50-foot grinds of all sorts went down. Here’s a little peak at some of the action. Check back later for a full video recap.
